Blow-dry: The 90s trend for voluminous hair
Discover how to achieve the blow-dry look at home
Another 90s trend that seems to be making a comeback today, with many models and celebrities adopting the blow-dry look in their everyday lives. This is the hairstyle that resembles a salon result, but with a more effortless and natural finish that you can achieve at home.
What exactly is the blow-dry look?
Let's remember, then, what it is and answer you who will very reasonably wonder what this look is, if you are a child of the zeros and beyond. We are talking about nothing other than the hairstyle that wants the hair to be fluffy and full of volume after washing, only using the blow dryer and some products and accessories, such as rollers, without the use of heat tools (scissors, curlers). We want the result on the hair to be similar to that after styling at the hair salon, that is, light and not "fallen" or "stuck".
The hairdryer is your ally
This trend considers the hairdryer as your only ally to achieve the ideal blow-dry look. The use of other styling devices is almost prohibited, as they will "flatten" your hair, while inevitably coming into contact with them, which we definitely do not want to happen.
Tip: Keep the hairdryer at a reasonable distance from the hair as you style it, protecting your hair from heat and giving it the airflow that this hairstyle requires.
The secret is in the volume
And yes, there is a -not so well-hidden- secret that will "unlock the door" to success for this look. It is none other than volume, which gives naturalness and carefreeness to the hair, making it feel and look lightweight. If you are not one of the lucky ones with naturally voluminous hair or want to add a little more, let's see what products you can use to achieve it.
Round Brush
A large round brush will allow you to easily and quickly style your hair. Due to its large size, it will help create the volume you desire and give you the desired results.
Tip1: The larger the brush, the more volume.
Tip2: Use the brush on dry, not wet hair, to avoid breakage and hair damage.
Rollers
A trademark of 90s looks, but specifically of the blow-dry look, are the rollers. You can use them either on wet hair directly and then dry them, or first style your hair and then place the rollers. As with a brush, the larger the rollers, the more volume you will achieve.
Tip: Remember to remove them carefully, without pulling, to maintain maximum volume.
Styling Products
To help your hair gain and maintain the volume it deserves, you can also use various styling products, choosing from foams, gels, sprays, or creams, depending on your hair type and the exact result you want to achieve.
Tip: Don't overdo it with the quantity, as you will have the opposite results, your hair will lose its volume and "fall flat".
Furthermore, you can achieve equally good results by tying your hair in a twisted bun or separate strands in small snails and letting them dry and take shape for several hours. The night when you sleep is a good time to not waste any time. In your effort to achieve the perfect blow-dry look, the following accessories will prove very useful to you.
The alternative
At this point, let me tell you that the only alternative you can try and have equally ideal results as the hairdryer or rollers is an electric hairbrush. The electric hairbrush combines the heat from the hairdryer with the shape of a regular brush in one device and can literally solve your hands.
