Getting the look: Styling
To achieve this look, start by washing and conditioning your hair according to your hair type. Avoid using shampoo or conditioner that’s too heavy, as it will weigh your hair down. Look for volumizing mousse or root lift spray to apply to your roots and mid-shaft, and a blow-dry gel the mid-shaft and ends of your hair. Finally, finish with a holding spray meant for wet hair and spray it everywhere, roots to ends.
Once you’ve applied your hair products, use a blow dryer without a brush to rough dry your hair. Either flip your head over and blow dry your hair towards the ground or blow dry all your hair up towards the sky. Make sure to use the nozzle included with your blow dryer, and keep it parallel with the airshaft to prevent frizz. When your hair is 70-80% dry, use a round brush or hot air brush to style your hair. If you’re new to this, a hot air brush may be easier to use – no shame! I even blow-dry my own hair with a hot air brush when I do my own blowout at home.
Start with the hair in the front by your ears, take decent sized sections of your hair and use the brush to dry it. Once it seems like it’s getting dry, turn the brush so that all the hair is wrapped around it and heat it up for a few seconds. Use velcro rollers to set each section of hair, starting with the front sides, then the bangs, and finally the crown. Do each section across the top until you get back behind where your head starts to curve at the back of your crown. Then finish up on the sides and back, heating and setting the hair with rollers.
After 15 minutes, remove the rollers from your hair. Take care not to pull too hard on the rollers when romoving them – that will yank all your volume and curl right out! Make sure your hands are moisturized before taking the rollers out to avoid static. Shake the hair out a few times, spray your favorite hairspray to set your style and voila! You have a gorgeous blowout strait out of 1997.

This look calls for a moderate – deep side part (she’s baaaack) so keep that in mind when getting a haircut and when styling the front.
