The Stylers You Need from Wash Day to Second-Day

More texture, less oil, more movement, less frizz — the balance of getting your hairstyle just right from day-to-day changes based on a variety of factors.

Previous
Next

Everything from the weather to the order of your products can make a big difference in the outcome. To tailor your finish from wash day to second-day styles, having a line-up of stylers can help ease the transitions. Here’s what we recommend.

Which Products to Use on Wash Day Vs. Second-Day Styles

Wavy and curly hair types tend to get frizzy on wash day, while fine, thin hair types lose volume on day two. Learning how to treat your hair type is all about finding the right products and the right products from one day to the next.

      Day One: Wash Day

      No matter your hair texture or style status, shampooing your hair twice on wash day is always a good idea. Concentrate the shampoo on the new growth area to ensure you’re effectively cleansing the scalp.

      This will help improve movement and the way your hair falls when you style.

      Whether you’re blow-drying hair smooth or air-drying to enhance your natural texture pattern, BEDROOM.HAIR and SESSION.SPRAY are must-haves to have on hand.

      As finishing sprays, BEDROOM.HAIR helps hold the hair with an airy feel. It creates separation and texture that helps your wash day style feel more lived-in, and is ideal if you like to run your fingers through your hair. While SESSION.SPRAY is ideal to lock in your style and lock out frizz. It helps enhance style memory and create a barrier against humidity but is easily brushed out without a trace of flakiness, which only improves the longevity of your style.

      Additionally, if you have fringe or fine hair, FRESH.HAIR is essential on day one. Because fine hair and the fringe area tend to get oily and weighed down easily, dry shampoo stops the impact before it even begins.

      Day Two: Second-Day Styles

      Some hair types thrive when they hit the second day, while others find their hair in need of a helping hand. Thicker, coarser textures can usually make it through second-day (and sometimes even third-day) without any products, while fine or thin hair types will need a refresh. If you want to extend your style, apply FRESH.HAIR dry shampoo first thing in the morning. Or even the night before.

      Dry shampoo is the most helpful product to refresh and re-energise fine or thin hair types. It removes oil and buildup and refreshes while adding a bit of airy texture. Whether hair is styled smooth or worn naturally, adding a touch of FRESH.HAIR at the new growth area instantly adds movement and a fresh feel. And, if natural texture needs refining, consider adding a touch of YOUNG.AGAIN DRY.CONDITIONER to the lengths to enhance hydration, definition and shine.

      FAQ

      On wash day, finishing sprays like BEDROOM.HAIR add airy texture and movement, while SESSION.SPRAY locks in your style and helps protect against frizz and humidity.

      Yes. Applying FRESH.HAIR on wash day, especially through the fringe or fine hair, helps absorb oil early and extends volume into day two and beyond.

      Start with FRESH.HAIR at the roots to absorb oil and add lift. For dry lengths, apply YOUNG.AGAIN DRY.CONDITIONER to boost softness, shine and definition.
