Since my hair has grown out to a longer bob (LOB?), I find that I still have to use a large barrel curling iron to touch it up and give it it some oomph until wash day.

Anyone have ideas what to do to "refresh" w/o using damaging heat every day until wash day?

@Shanus  Hi Shanus, I spray a combination of dry shampoo and PuffMe by Kevin Murphy, tip my hair upside down and use a dryer on medium for a minute or so and it seems to work fine.

Shampoo my hair and style it every day. Can't stand to not shampoo hair every day. As a teen I fought w/my mother about this. She thought if I washed my hair every day I would get "sick". And at that time of the month,no bath. The fights went on and on till I moved out  and was on my own.

I washed my hair every day when it was short. There wasn't any fixing that on day 2. 

I have a bob and am amazed that it still looks good on day 2....with body and shape. I was never able to skip a day until I grew it out to a bob.

I use a 2.5" oval-barrel hair dryer/blower to shape (but not totally dry) the bottom half and let the rest dry on its own. I'm retired so I have time to let it dry on its own. Then I brush it all out and it's a perfect bob. 

I can't stand to go more than 2 days. My hair seems stringy on the third day.

I use a little dry shampoo, turn my head upside down and use the blow dryer maybe 30 or 60 seconds.  I need to wash by day 3.  To you Wen ladies, can you really go a week?

Hair is fine and very frizzy without one drop of oil thx to the change!

So, it is styled in a bob, not shoulder length. Because of alopecia, I use rogaine foam which styles it.

The more I do the worse it looks...

so getting a blow dry once per week is all it needs...

because whatever way it is styled when wet is the way it stays,

Geiing caught in drizzle or rain..is a bummer.

My mother was born in this country...but she had some REALLY strange ideas about what was HEALTHY.   

For instance...since sugar and fat are on the top of the food pyramid...she "thought' those were the most important things in one's diet...

@Shanus  I use a little dry shampoo and hot rollers on 2nd or 3rd day hair to pump up the volume and curls without putting too much heat on it.  Sometimes I brush my L'ange heated brush through my hair and flip up the ends to smooth out any frizz and add some bounce to my layered and feathered wavy haircut. I wake up each morning and look at my hair and then I take it from there 😊. I toss and turn a lot in my sleep, so some days I get a ton of great volume in my hair just from nightmares at night 😅😉.
