The Products The Experts Love For A Big, Bouncy Blow Dry

Biomimetic Hairscience AirWash Dry Shampoo, £48 | K18
“To get the best volume and curl, you should use a set of Velcro rollers. They help set your hair in the perfect position by letting the hair cool in the shape of the roller, and are easy to use. Afterwards, I’d also recommend using K18’s new AirWash dry shampoo to keep the blow dry going for longer. One application works for up to three days, so it’s a great tool to have in your beauty arsenal.”

Hairspray By Elnett, £6 | L'Oreal Paris
The Multi-Tasker, £195 | Hersheson's
“My essential is L’Oréal Elnett Hairspray. Hair gets better the more you apply it, and it brushes out easily at the end of the night. For a smooth, swishy blowout, use the thermal heat attachment on the new Hersheson’s Multitasker. Wrap the hair around the barrel for a few seconds before unwinding it.”

Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist, £12 | Hair By Sam McKnight
Maximista Thickening Spray, £38 | Oribe
“I personally like Sam McKnight Cool Girl Spray and Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray. A quick tip is to clip the roots up after blow drying while the hair is cooling down. This will give the root maximum lift. Don’t be afraid of heated appliances either; using a barrel tong even just at the root will give you a strong base and foundation for bouncy hair.

Aloe Vera Hair Mousse, £38 | Rahua
The Blow Dryer Ceramic Radial Hair Brush, £26 | ghd
Volumizing Hot Rollers, £112.54 | T3
“Prep hair by first by applying our Aloe Vera Hair Mousse at the roots on towel dry hair. This will add volume at the roots, add lift and give hair a thicker appearance. A with a strong motor for quicker drying time and less heat exposure for strands, and a round brush (ceramic or metal) are essential. Ceramic is gentler and good for fine and delicate hair types, while metal is good for abundant hair and allows for quicker drying time. Choose a larger barrel size for smoother and straighter styles, and go for a smaller barrel size to add waves and more bounce. My blowout hack for second-day hair is to skip the blow drying and opt for T3 Volumizing Hot Rollers. Pull medium-sized hair sections 90° away from the scalp; use the roller to roll hair sections towards the scalp and secure. Let them cool completely before removing the rollers for proper staying power.”

The Big Set, £50 | Hair By Sam McKnight
Modern Hairspray Styling Mist With Heat Protection, £24 | Hair By Sam McKnight
“The Big Set is inspired by my kit. Velcro rollers and a hood have been part of my kit for 40-plus years. I can always count on them to give me root lift, all-over volume and that supermodel style. The look is inspired by the 90s – powerful, voluminous hair that matched the charisma of runway legends like Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer. Size matters and larger rollers lift hair at the crown, adding that supermodel height, while medium rollers create luscious body through the sides and back. I use Modern Hairspray to set the style in place while adding flexible hold and a long-lasting finish.”
