You just have to open Instagram to notice which beauty trend is taking off right now. After spending months with minimal reasons to get dolled up, full glamour is back. And when it comes to hair, the fluffy, polished, ’90s blowouts are having a moment once again, and we’re here for it. But what exactly is fluffy hair? Clueless’s Alicia Silverstone is perhaps one of the popular poster girls for this trend. We’re also looking at ‘90s It-girls – Jennifer Aniston or Sarah Jessica Parker, for their bouncy blowouts.
The hairdo is marked by lots of round layers, flicked-under ends, volume, and lengths that have a springy bounce. The finish has less gloss than Hollywood waves yet it’s more #done than beach waves. It’s classic and has a #richbitch vibe about it – a welcome change. Excited to try the trend? Here’s how to channel your inner Rachel Green.
The Step-By-Step Guide To Nail The Smokin’ Hot Hair Trend
Prep Your Locks
Starting with freshly washed hair is key. Use a clarifying shampoo to give your hair that swishy, fresh-out-of-the-salon feeling, and use a lightweight conditioner as opposed to a mask to avoid weighing your hair down. If you’re exacting, flip your hair into a side parting to create more volume as you blowdry. Also, prep your hair with a heat protection serum or spray.
Blowdry Your Locks
For that extra lift in the root area, you can use a ceramic round brush to add shape and bounce to the hair. Ensure you use the smoothing nozzle of your hair dryer to direct hair down as you wind your hair around the brush. This will add lustre to the hair.
Add Texture And Hold
Once dried, you can use a volumising spray to give your locks an outrageous texture. Use the palms of your hands to rub it in and get yourself that absolutely stunning finish.
Use A Volumising Product
To finish off, look for powder-based hair products, such as dry shampoo or volumising hair products to add that kind of volume and a fluffy texture to your mane.
Pro Tips:
- Using a round brush and hair dryer at home can be tricky, and depending on your hair type, you might find your curls droop down quickly. Rather than reaching for your hair spray to lock them in, another way is to blow-dry your hair with a round brush and then secure each section into hair rollers until they cool. This will help the hair set into shape, and your bouncy blowout will last longer.
- If you’re in a rush, blast the rollers with the cool setting on your hair dryer. For when you’re looking for an effortless way to nail the look, you can opt for a heated tool, such as Dyson Airwrap which will do all the heavy lifting for you.
The bouncier and fluffier the hair, the better.
