Volume is back in a big way, and what better way to embrace the trend than with a 90s inspired blowout? The iconic hairstyle was seen everywhere from runways to romcoms to popular TV shows of the era. Think: Cindy Crawford, Cher from Clueless and Kelly from Saved by the Bell. While the past few years have favoured more natural, undone hairstyles, full glam is back and it’s easier to get the look than ever before. No matter your hair length, there are numerous different techniques you can use to achieve big, bouncy supermodel hair. Check out these 90s blowout hair tutorials.
The 90s Blowout: 6 Tips & Essentials
- Start with heat protectant. Blowouts almost always require heat, so take care of your hair by using a good heat protectant before going in with any heat tools.
- It’s all about the prep. If you want your blowout to last, make sure to use an array of products including a mousse, blowout cream and leave-in conditioner. The products you apply to your hair before the blowout are extremely important to its success!
- Choose your technique. There are an array of techniques you can use to create a 90s blowout, from using a flat iron with rollers to using a blowout brush to the classic blow dryer and round brush technique. Try out different options to see which one works best for your hair.
- Work in sections. Whichever technique you use, work in small sections to ensure the most stunning end result.
- Volume, volume, volume. As well as adding mousse to your roots for extra volume, you’ll also want to create as much volume as possible with your routine and chosen hair tools. For example, if you’re using a round brush and hair dryer, make sure to create lots of volume at your roots for a big, bouncy effect.
- Make it last. Use a hairspray at the end to set the style and ensure it lasts all day. If it adds a bit of crunch to your hair, just brush it over with a boar bristle brush to soften the curls.
