Another 90s trend that seems to be making a comeback today, with many models and famous personalities adopting the blow-dry look in their daily lives. This is the look for hair that resembles a salon result, but with a more tousled and natural outcome that you can achieve at home.

What exactly is the blow-dry look?

So let’s remember what it’s all about and answer you, who quite reasonably may wonder what this look is if you are a child of the 2000s and beyond. We are talking about nothing other than the hairstyle that leaves the hair fluffy and full of volume after washing, using only the hair dryer and some products and accessories, such as rollers, but without the use of heat tools (curling irons, straighteners). The result we want in the hair is similar to that after styling at the salon, that is, light and not "flat" or "stuck down".

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 "weigh down" your hair and inevitably come into contact with it, something we absolutely do not want to happen. 

Tip: Keep the hairdryer at a reasonable distance from the hair while styling, protecting your hair from the heat and giving it the air required for this hairstyle.

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 hair a natural and carefree appearance, making it look and feel light. If you are not one of the lucky ones with naturally voluminous hair or you want to add a bit more, let's see what products you can use to achieve it. 

Round Brush

A large round brush will allow you to style your hair easily and quickly. Due to its large size, it will help in shaping the volume you want to achieve and will give you the desired results.

Tip1: The larger the brush, the more volume you get.

Tip2: Use the brush on dry hair, not damp, to avoid breakage and hair damage.

Rollers

A trademark of 90s looks, but also specifically of the blow-dry look, are rollers. You can use them either on wet hair directly and then dry them, or style the hair first and then place the rollers afterwards. As with the 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 achieve 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 final result you want to achieve.

Tip: Don't overdo it with the amount, as you will get the opposite results, and your hair will lose volume and "fall".

Additionally, you can achieve equally good results by tying your hair in a twisted bun or separate strands into small curls and letting them dry and take shape for several hours. The night while 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 be very useful to you.

The Alternative

At this point, let me tell you that the only alternative you can try that can have equally ideal results as a hairdryer or rollers is an electric hairbrush. The electric hairbrush combines the heat from the hairdryer with the shape of a simple brush in one device and can literally make your life easier.
