When I’m aiming for a smooth, long-lasting blowout, the products I use beforehand matter just as much as the tools.

Over time, I’ve narrowed it down to a couple of styling creams that I consistently reach for. One is a trusted staple, and the other is a newer launch that instantly made an impression.

1. Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother

This one is a forever favorite. Olaplex No. 6 has been around for a while, and there’s a reason it never goes out of style—it simply works. It delivers reliable results every time and fits effortlessly into my routine. The fact that it’s currently on sale for Black Friday makes it even better. If you’re looking for something dependable that always comes through, this is it.

2. Dyson Chitosan™ Styling Cream

Dyson recently entered the styling cream space, and this product lives up to the brand’s reputation. From the first use, it felt refined and high-performing. Yes, it comes with a higher price tag—around $55—but the quality matches the cost. It’s one of those products that feels like a luxury experience from start to finish.

If you’re building a blowout routine, these two styling creams are worth considering. Olaplex No. 6 remains a reliable classic, while the Dyson Chitosan™ cream adds a modern, high-end twist. Together, they cover all the bases for polished, beautiful styling days.
