Revival of the ’70s: Hair rollers make a comeback for the at‑home blowout

Hair styling can often be a challenging topic for many women who style their hair daily. Our tresses often refuse to co-operate, particularly in winter, when they lack buoyancy and volume. While frustration might lead to dramatic transformations, that need not be the only solution. Hair rollers come to the rescue, assisting us in achieving an at-home blowout.

Sprucing up your tresses doesn't necessarily entail a trip to the stylist, a severe haircut, or a change of hair colour. In such situations, the simple and affordable alternatives often prove to be the best. All it takes is to invest a few pounds in hair rollers! They enable swift styling of a youthful hairstyle that not only enhances the appearance but also imparts a sense of lightness to your locks. Blowouts, which became popular in the 1970s, continue to be the go-to choice for global celebrities even today.

Gently turned hair ends can look incredibly charming and don't require hours of styling. Large hair rollers, a dryer and a mere 15 minutes are ideal for blow-drying! Any beauty type or hair length can pull off this hairstyle, suitable for all occasions. If you plan to adopt this feminine trend, you need to apply rollers to your hair daily. Using a straightener to curl ends would only damage the hair and destroy the overall style.

The best approach to hair styling begins with washing the hair and protecting it using hair oil or styling mousse. This is an essential step, especially if your hair doesn't usually hold styles well. This method lets you easily curl the hair outward, keeping it protected for extended periods. Apply the rollers from the outside upward along the strands, rather than the reverse, to prevent the hair from curling inward. The achieved look depends on the thickness of the rollers; usually, thick rollers offer the most appealing style. The stylishly turned hair, mastered flawlessly by Jennifer Lopez, is a perfect demonstration of this technique:

It's also possible to do a blowout on multiple-day-old hair, thanks to the dryer that, in just 15 minutes, swiftly moulds and refreshes the hair. The installed rollers should be exposed to a warm stream of air, a technique far superior to using curling irons or straighteners. After removing the rollers gently, finalise your style by setting it with hairspray.
