How often do you brush and style your hair?

I have a chin length type bob, blow dry and hairspray it in the morning, but it looks rubbish about an hour later, and terrible by lunch. What am I doing wrong? thank you for your help

Blow drying every day could be stripping the oils from you hair, or simply putting too much stress on it. It would also help to know the condition of your hair, whether it is fine/thick/straight/curly, etc.
I wash mine twice per week, and would love to do it more but I'm afraid of too much heat styling (I am slightly curly and bowdry straight).

It has often come down to the use of products for me: no matter how one miracle cure might get great reviews, it might not be exactly right for my own hair. We are all so different, it is difficult to advise which treatments are for the best, but most crap I have been sold hasn't worked too well.

At the moment I use Kerastase products for washing and conditioning, and a Kiehls straightening protector cream for blowdrying - which leaves it fairly silky and nice. Still, our hair seems to get bored easily, and I find that alternating your shampoo or conditioner at least twice per month seems to give it a weird, unexplainable boost.

Definitely need more info from you about your hairtype though...

A bob imo is really hard to keep neat looking.

^^ yep, the shorter the hair the more effort it is.

FWIW I last had mine trimmed last July, brush it when I wash it -twice a week, and don't style it or pay any attention whatsoever to it! It's past my waist not in that creepy way though
