Best Summer Blowouts for Every Hair Type

Chicago in July is non-stop—festivals, weddings, boat days, brunch on the patio, and rooftop nights that last until sunrise. But nothing throws off your whole summer vibe faster than battling frizz, flattened curls, or limp locks that give up halfway through the day. That’s why blowouts are one of the most in-demand salon services this month. And despite what you’ve heard, they aren’t just for long, straight hair. Blowouts can be customized for every hair type and length, from tight coils to soft waves to straight strands—and everything in between.

A professional blowout gives you polished, camera-ready hair that actually lasts. And in a city where humidity is basically a personality trait, it’s no surprise women across Chicago are making blowouts part of their July routine.

What Is a Blowout, Really?

A blowout is more than just drying your hair. It’s a professional styling service that starts with a clarifying shampoo and nourishing conditioner, followed by a customized blow-drying technique that uses round brushes or diffusers to smooth, volumize, or stretch your natural texture. It’s finished with salon-grade products that seal in style, fight frizz, and keep your hair looking fresh for days.

Blowouts for All Hair Types and Lengths

Blowouts can be tailored to your exact needs, whether your hair is curly, wavy, coily, or straight—and whether it’s chin-length or down to your waist. For curly and coily hair, a blowout can gently stretch the texture without damage, creating a soft, voluminous finish and prepping the hair for styles like silk presses or heat-free updos. For wavy or frizz-prone hair, a blowout enhances your natural shape while smoothing out the humidity’s chaos. For naturally straight or fine hair, blowouts add fullness, bounce, and shape that lasts longer than any at-home effort.

Short hair benefits from blowouts, too. If you’re rocking a pixie, bob, or lob, a professional blowout defines the cut, controls flyaways, and gives your hair the structured, styled look you want without going flat. For long hair, a blowout means movement without tangles, shine without grease, and volume without heat damage.

Why July Is Prime Time for Blowouts

In July, Chicago humidity reaches next-level status. Blowouts help smooth the hair cuticle and reduce frizz, giving you a sleek style that holds up against summer’s worst weather. It’s also peak event season, and you need hair that stays flawless through a full day of photos, dancing, and whatever’s on the afterparty playlist. Plus, blowouts simplify your routine. One appointment can give you great hair for three to five days, no daily styling required.

Tips to Make Your Blowout Last LongerTo extend the life of your blowout at home, sleep on a satin pillowcase to reduce friction and keep your style smooth. Use dry shampoo starting on the second day—not when your roots are already oily—to maintain volume. Avoid touching or brushing your hair too often, and consider a light restyling with a blow dryer on day three to refresh your shape.

Blowout Add-Ons Worth TryingWant to level up your results? Ask your stylist about gloss treatments for added shine, hydrating masks to nourish sun-exposed strands, or texturizing products to help you change up the style between washes.

Don’t Forget the Keratin Treatment

If frizz is your forever summer struggle, a Keratin treatment might be your ultimate secret weapon. This smoothing service infuses your hair with keratin protein, helping to rebuild and seal the hair cuticle for a sleeker, shinier finish. Unlike old-school straightening, today’s keratin treatments are customizable—meaning you can reduce frizz without losing your natural wave or curl pattern. The result is smoother, more manageable hair that blows out faster, lasts longer, and stands up to even the most humid Chicago days. Pair it with your next blowout for the ultimate frizz-fighting combo!
