How to Get the Ultimate 90's Supermodel Blowout With Digital Hot Rollers

Big, bouncy hair is back, and no style embodies timeless glamour quite like the iconic 90's supermodel blowout. Think Cindy Crawford's signature volume, soft face-framing layers and effortlessly polished movement that looks luxurious from every angle.

While this salon-worthy look may seem difficult to recreate, it's super easy to achieve at home with the right technique. Using the Digital Hot Rollers you can create long-lasting lift, bounce and body without spending hours with a round brush and hair dryer.

If you've been searching for how to get a 90's blowout, how to use hot rollers, or the best way to create voluminous hair at home, here's everything you need to know.

 

What makes a 90's supermodel blowout?

The 90's supermodel blowout is all about volume with movement. This look embraces soft body, lifted roots and face-framing layers that flow effortlessly away from the face.

The key features include:

• Voluminous roots

• Smooth, glossy lengths

• Soft bends rather than tight curls

• Face-framing layers styled away from the face

• Lightweight movement with plenty of bounce

It's a look that is glamorous enough for an event but relaxed enough to wear every day.

 

Why hot rollers create the best blowout

Rather than curling the hair tightly, rollers lift the hair from the root while setting soft shape and movement as the hair cools. The result is fuller, bouncier hair with a finish that looks more like a professional blow-dry than a traditional curl.

If you have long, thick or layered hair, the Digital Hot Rollers MAX include additional rollers, making it even easier to style your entire head while creating maximum volume.

 

How to get the look:

Start with dry, smooth hair

The best blowouts begin with completely dry hair.

Apply your favourite heat protectant before blow-drying your hair smooth. For extra lift, use a volumising mousse through the roots before drying.

The smoother your hair is before rolling, the more polished your final blowout will appear.

Heat your rollers

Allow your Digital Hot Rollers to heat, this will take only 60 seconds.

While they warm up, brush through your hair and divide it into manageable sections no wider than the roller. Proper sectioning helps create even volume throughout the head and gives a much more professional-looking result.

Section your hair properly

Divide your hair into four main sections:

• A centre mohawk section

• Left side

• Right side

• Back

Working one section at a time ensures every roller sits neatly and evenly, giving you balanced volume from front to back.

Choose your rolling direction

Roll under: if you're after the classic 90's supermodel blowout. Rolling the hair underneath creates maximum root lift, soft flicked-under ends and that iconic full-bodied shape made famous by the supermodels of the decade. It's the perfect technique for achieving bouncy, salon-style volume.

Roll over: if you prefer a softer, more modern finish. Rolling the hair over the top creates extra volume through the mid-lengths and ends, giving the hair a fuller, fluffier appearance with plenty of movement.

For the ultimate blowout, lift each section straight up from the scalp before wrapping it around the roller. The more elevation you create while rolling, the more root volume you'll achieve once the rollers have cooled.

Let the rollers cool completely

Patience is key.

Hair holds its shape as it cools, so resist the temptation to remove your rollers too early.

Leave them in while you finish your makeup, get dressed or enjoy your morning coffee. The longer they cool, the longer your blowout will last. 

Brush it out

Once your rollers have completely cooled, gently remove them one by one.

At first, the curls may appear tighter than expected, but this is exactly what you want.

Make sure to twist with the curl to further define it as you remove the rollers.

Avoid over brushing the hair, simply use your fingers to fluff the hair for ultimate bounce and volume.

 

Which roller set is right for you?

Whether you choose the Digital Hot Rollers or the Digital Hot Rollers MAX depends on your hair type and thickness.

The Digital Hot Rollers are ideal for short to medium hair, on the finer side.

If you have long, thick or heavily layered hair, the Digital Hot Rollers MAX are the perfect choice. With more rollers included, they're designed to style more hair at once, making it easier to create bigger, fuller blowouts with maximum lift and body.

 

How to make your blowout last?

One of the best things about a hot roller blowout is that it can last for days with the right care.

To keep your style looking fresh:

• Sleep with your hair loosely tied high on the head to maintain volume

• Use dry shampoo at the roots before they become oily.

• Avoid applying heavy oils through the lengths.
