How to Get 90s Fluffy Hair

Now that we have the products for the volume and body, let’s move on to the method. Surprisingly enough, there is yet to be a gadget or technique invented that tops the original way how to get 90s fluffy hair. That’s right, we’re still using rollers.

What kind of hair rollers should I get?

If you associate rollers with a period of time before electricity, we have news for you. Some of the top celebrity hairstylists today swear by hair rollers for volume and bounce, if you know which hair rollers you should get.

Firstly, what type of curl do you want? The thin, wirey ones you may have spotted on your grandmother make those tight curls that we’re avoiding for the moment. The bigger the roller, the bigger the bounce.

Secondly, how much time do you have? If you’re a last-minute type of person, you can opt for the hot rollers. These will give your hair a curl in a matter of minutes. Alternatively, you can go for the classic Velcro rollers. These are the ones still used in backstage dressing rooms for the voluptuous hair of modern-day supermodels. Plus, don’t let the catwalk’s seal of approval lead you to think otherwise, these rollers don’t break the bank! Most cost in between ten and twenty pounds.

How to use hair rollers for volume

Step One- Prep The Roots

Start by massaging the Root Stimulating Primer into your scalp and leave for ten minutes. We want to lock in as much moisture into our roots as possible so the rollers stay in place.

Step Two- Cleanse and Uplift

Once your primer is rinsed out, gently cleanse the hair with the Bodifying Shampoo. Follow by smoothing the Bodifying Conditioner through the mid-lengths of your hair to gently condition and boost hair without weighing it down.

Step Three- Rough-Dry and Backcomb

Apply the Bodifying Serum to towel dry hair to plump the ends and roughly dry the hair until it’s about 80% dry. You want it to be slightly damp when applying the rollers. Tease it at the root with a comb.

Step Four- Make a Mohawk

Once the roots are ready, section your hair into four parts: the left side, crown, right side, and the back. Begin with the crown and apply the rollers in a ‘mohawk’ pattern (from the front of the head to the back). Take sections that are the same width as your roller diameter, tuck the ends of the hair in and start rolling from the bottom to the scalp. Roll outwards away from the face. Pin the roller in place with a clip.

Step Five- Follow with the sides and the back

Repeat this method for either sides. What’s outwards/inwards may get confusing here, so to simplify: Place the hair to the left of the roller, wrap it around, tuck it in, and roll.

Our tip: Pinch the hair as you roll to make sure all of the baby hairs get included. Use the larger rollers at the back for extra volume. Your arms may get tired whilst doing the back, consider it a workout.

Step Six- Apply Heat

Run the hairdryer over the rollers to apply heat. Wait about 20 minutes for the hair to cool and fully dry. Take them out and tah-dah! You have successfully achieved the 90s supermodel hair in the comforts of your own home!
