Fluffy Hair Everywhere! This 90’s Blowout is the Trend You Need to Cop Now
January 14, 2022New times call for new trends! According to celebrity hairstylist Tom Smith, “fluffy hair” is the 90s blonde trend that will be all the rage this year. Here’s why:
What is fluffy hair?
Coined by none other than the Gen Z, “fluffy hair” is best visualized as a modern take on big, blonde blowouts. This 90s look is highlighted by a “cushioned and airy volume with a soft, blended contrast” for fluffy and effortless glamour. Contrary to techniques that weigh down the hair, its recommended to use products that lift and smooth your tresses to get that fluffy texture.

How to get fluffy hair?
Let’s start with the color. If your hair isn’t blonde yet, request for a ‘Nectar Blonde’ color when you visit your hairdresser. This exact shade was described by Smith as luxurious, golden and warm - perfect for that depth along with bright and soft contrast highlights to frame the face.
“The key here is to lighten the hair’s base colour to a dark golden blonde, adding warm vanilla cream highlights through the layers and to the face frame area. Ask your hairstylist for a beige or golden-blonde base colour with chunkier, hand-painted highlights around the frame of your face.”
As for the blowout, remind your hairstylist to keep it fluffy and light. If you want to do it yourself, check out this quick tutorial below:
