Hair trends come and go and nostalgia for the 90s style has brought us back one of the most sophisticated and desired hair of that time. We talk about the hairstyle blowout which was extremely successful thanks to the volume and movement it showed. Cindy Crawford or Claudia Schiffer were great references of this hair style and now all that elegant and somewhat casual air is back at the top.
This is the blowout, the hairstyle that gives us volume back to our hair
Volume is the key to this type of hair, and not volume through strategic backcombing, but rather playing with the shape of the hair by using the dryer from the roots. What it means is fluffing the hair well with the 90s technique par excellence, the brushing.
With the dryer and a round brush you have to work on the hair from the roots, to lift, fluff and achieve long-lasting volume. It has to be done in sections from the bottom layers to the top ones. The result is a fluid and airy mane, which moves when you walk, and with a very attractive volume that beautifies the features.
That this hair style is now the most desired is not because it is, but because social networks have taken it upon themselves to show us that the volume of the nineties has returned. The hair with layers is worked and the ends are slightly marked as if showing off a slight wave. It is not a straight hair like when we use the irons, but a polished and combed hair.
The blowout is achieved when there is a good cut behind
We have to start from the base that to achieve that fluid movement, the hair needs to have a layered cut, so that it has structure and light movement. Long layers are best so as not to lose density but gain shape. If there is not a good haircut job, you cannot give that hollowed shape that you are looking for in each layer.
The butterfly cut that is so popular is a good option to achieve the finish blowout. Among the trendy haircuts we also have the shag which is modern and fresh. Both styles have that weathered base that is needed to gain volume and movement.
The length of this type of hair is usually a medium length, neither an XL hair nor a very short hair, but currently the new versions are daring even with the classic bob, providing that nineties air.
How to style the blowout?
As we have said, what we are looking for in this hairstyle is a volume that comes from the roots, a volume that makes the hair stand up. This effect can be achieved in two ways, on the one hand with the dryer and the round brush working from the roots to the ends, rotating the brush at the end so that the tip curls a little; or using the classic thermal or Velcro curlers.
The finish may vary, but in no case is it a rigid or perfect style. The effect can be more polished style layers old money or with a somewhat more disastrous result. The important thing is to ensure that the volume lasts, and this is achieved by using products such as light fixative lacquers, which are a classic and work very well. Texturizing sprays are another option, especially for those who want to gain density. In this case you have to look for light sprays that provide body but not weight.
It is a hairstyle that helps a lot to transform hair. Fine, straight hair looks alive, gains volume and elegance; and thick hair manages to control and shape in a much more sophisticated and refined way.
