The End Of Effortless Hair? The Blowout’s Quick Comeback
The '90s called

The Brazilian blowout, once synonymous with the ’90s supermodel glamour – think Cindy Crawford-style volume and the signature Victoria’s Secret-era waves – has staged a swift and promising return. For a while, that level of glamour felt firmly stored away with throwback beauty files. But suddenly, it’s everywhere again and this time, it’s not just for special occasions!
Lately, effortlessness is starting to feel a little… lifeless. We’ve spent the last few years worshipping at the altar of minimalist hair. Slicked-back buns, tight ponies and pin-straight middle parts became the unofficial uniform of the “clean girl aesthetic”.
But that restrained approach, while sophisticated, often left hair lacking personality. The return of the blowout signals a move away from minimalism and a return to hair that has personality (and actually moves.)

The trend isn’t just nostalgia, it’s everywhere. We’ve seen it make a strong return on the runways, proving that volume and polish can coexist with contemporary fashion. On the red carpet, celebrities are swapping sleek ponytails for waves and layered blow-dries. Zendaya’s bouncy glam and Kim Kardashian’s recent love affair with full-bodied brunette volume all point to the same conclusion: big hair is back!
This time, the blowout isn’t solely reserved for black-tie events. It’s for everyone, everywhere. Coffee runs or Cannes Film Fest. The resurgence is partially due to modern tools and achieving it at home has never been easier.
The Dyson Airwrap brings salon-level volume to your own home, while budget-friendly velcro rollers or a trusty round brush prove that big, polished hair doesn’t need a luxury price tag. No celeb stylist? No problem. Red-carpet-worthy locks are now completely within reach, and everyone’s invited to the party.

The blowout’s comeback is as much about accessibility as it is about style. Scroll Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube and you’ll find tutorials for every hair type, length, and mood. Social media has turned big, bouncy hair into something anyone can master. Wear it with a blazer and heels for a refined office moment, or let loose with jeans and a crop top for effortlessly chic street style.
Voluminous hair is no longer just an indulgence or an occasional luxury, but an everyday staple. Flat hair has had its moment, and definitely served its purpose, but now women want body, bounce and a bit of boldness.
Stick with us, and we’ll show you how to get that full, bouncy, red-carpet-worthy hair at home, without ever stepping foot in a salon.
