You might love your salon hairstyle after a haircut, but by the time you get to day two and especially day three, you're going to notice that the hairstyle that was sleek and stylish at the salon is now at best frizzy, fly-away, and difficult to manage instead of fabulous. There are several reasons for this: Your beauty salon stylist has the experience you lack in managing all types of hair. According to YouGovAmerica, more than a third of Americans, 38%, always see the same person for a haircut, and if you're one of them, your stylist probably has a lot of experience with your hair. Let’s take a look at what they use that makes your hair look great every time you go to the salon.

Shampoo

When your salon styles your hair, they most likely use clarifying shampoo, a product that strips out all the leftover product and product build-up in your hair, which results in a neutral base for the stylist to work from. This type of shampoo can be a great asset to your hair and can give you that look you’ve been hoping for.

Conditioner

You're probably not surprised at this point to note that shampooed hair without conditioner tends to be dry, brittle, flyaway, and flaky. Your hair needs conditioner to restore the oils that shampooing took away. Your hair will be thanking you for making sure that you go to the salon and see a stylist who uses conditioner as well as a shampoo for your salon looks.

Styling Products

You will never get beauty salon-quality hair if beauty salon products aren’t used. Your hairstyle at the salon wasn't just the product of your hair and clever brushing, but there was also spray conditioner, mousse, hairspray, and other products that went into it. No amount of brushing will bring back the salon-quality gloss of a good hairspray. Your stylist never attacks your hair with a towel or a brush. Those rough techniques will simply take away your sleek style and damage the hair. They’ll always use the towel to lightly blot the water out of your hair before putting it up in a turban, then brush your hair gently, with short strokes to minimize damage. By using these techniques and products, your hair stylist can give you a beautiful look.

With the right tools, technique, time, and patience, you can get the perfect salon looks from a local business. It's perfectly possible to preserve your salon look.
