How to get the hair everyone’s recreating right now If your For You Page has recently been overtaken by bouncy layers, velcro rollers, and girls twirling around in slow motion to "Crush" by Jennifer Paige, you’re not imagining things. The ‘90s blowout is back. And this time, it’s TikTok-official. At the heart of the revival? Kelsey Anderson, the Bachelor breakout whose hair has launched a thousand hot tools. If you need a reminder of the look, picture soft waves, flippy ends, and volume you could spot from a departure lounge. But she’s not the first to do it, and she definitely won’t be the last. Because when it comes to iconic hair, there’s one name we’re still not over: Rachel Green. Her perfectly feathered blowout in Friends was a cultural moment. And now, thanks to nostalgia-fuelled algorithms and a universal craving for “effortless but put-together,” the ‘90s blowout is having a full-circle moment. Again. No matter if you're going full supermodel glam or just want to look like you own a round brush, we’re breaking down the techniques, tools, and style variations for you below.   The anatomy of a '90s blowout A proper ‘90s blowout is volume without frizz, structure without stiffness, and movement that looks accidental but is very intentional. The hallmarks? Lift at the roots, bouncy ends that flip or feather, and layers that know how to frame a face. There’s a lightness to the look that’s distinctly different from the overly set blow-dries of the '80s or the poker-straight ironed hair of the 2000s. This is hair that says, “I just tossed my head and it landed like this.” Getting that shape starts with the right tools. Velcro rollers are your best friend. They cool the hair in shape after blow-drying, locking in volume and curve without crunch. A round brush is non-negotiable. Bigger barrels = more bounce. Use it to pull up and out at the roots while drying for that signature lift. You’ll also want a lightweight mousse or volumizing spray, a blow dryer with a nozzle, and a good amount of patience (sorry, no shortcuts to greatness). And yes, this style is surprisingly universal. It works beautifully on: Straight and wavy hair types (1A to 2C) who’ll get the full effect with just a blow dryer and some rollers. Curly textures (3A and 3B) can totally rock a blowout too, with a bit more prep and smoothing. The key is using heat protectant and taking your time with sectioning. If you’ve got fine hair, lightweight volumizers are key to stopping it from falling flat. For thick or heavy hair, work in smaller sections to avoid drag and keep that bounce from turning into bulk. Bottom line: the ‘90s blowout isn’t meant to be sleek or serious; it’s meant to move. Done right, it looks like you just walked off a sitcom set… or perhaps a Bachelor promo reel.   ‘90s blowout tutorial Ready to channel your inner Cindy, Kelsey, or Rachel? Here’s how to get ‘90s blowout hair at home—no glam squad required. 1. Prep like a pro Start in the shower. Use a volumizing shampoo and lightweight conditioner—nothing too rich or heavy, or you’ll flatten your own hard work before you begin. Towel-dry gently, then layer on a heat protectant (non-negotiable) and a volumising mousse from roots to mid-lengths. Pro tip: flip your head upside down when applying mousse to really encourage root lift. 2. Time to dry Rough dry your hair until it’s about 60% dry—this cuts down on arm ache and speeds things up. Then, grab your round brush (a big barrel for longer hair, medium for shorter) and start at the crown, lifting the roots as you dry. Work in sections, curling the brush under slightly at the ends to start shaping that signature flip. Want extra drama? Pop each section into a velcro roller straight off the brush. Let it cool while you move on—this is what sets the shape. 3. Style + set Once your whole head is dry and rollered, take a beat. Let it cool completely. This is the patience part, but it’s worth it. No rollers? No problem. A curling iron (1.5" or 2") will give you a similar bend at the ends, just curl away from your face, and don’t clamp too long. You’re going for bounce, not ringlets. Or reach for the TYME Iron Pro. Its unique design lets you create smooth, flipped-out ends or voluminous curls with a single twist; perrrfect for achieving that iconic ’90s shape in half the time. 4. The finish Remove rollers (gently!), then brush everything out with a paddle or boar bristle brush for that soft, airy wave. Don’t be afraid to shake it out a little—this style loves a bit of movement. Set the whole thing with a light mist of flexible-hold hairspray, and if you want a little shine? A drop of argan oil on your fingertips, raked through the ends, works wonders on your ‘90s blowout hairstyle.   10 iconic '90s blowout styles While volume, bounce, and shape are non-negotiables, the final look can take on dozens of personalities: glam, grunge, polished, playful, etc. Whether you’re after Rachel Green layers, supermodel swagger, or butterfly-clipped nostalgia, there’s a version of the blowout that suits you. Below, we’ve rounded up ten iconic styles to inspire your next big-hair moment. 1. The Rachel Arguably the most famous haircut of the ‘90s, The Rachel is all about bouncy, face-framing layers with plenty of movement. Popularised by Jennifer Aniston in Friends, it’s the OG blowout—equal parts structured and effortless. The key lies in the layering: short enough around the face to sculpt the cheekbones, but long enough to feel grown-up and glam. Pair it with a side part and lots of volume at the crown for that unmistakable sitcom-star energy. Even decades later, it still turns heads—and has made a full-blown comeback in salons everywhere. 2. Supermodel volume Think Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and every major Vogue cover from the decade. Supermodel volume is less about precision and more about attitude: full-bodied hair with big curls, blown out to perfection. Use a large-barrel round brush or hot rollers to build soft waves from root to tip, then brush them out for that signature “bounce when you walk” effect. The roots should feel lifted, the ends flipped just enough, and the overall look slightly tousled, as if you just got off a photoshoot. Ideal for nights out, glam shoots, or anytime you want to feel ~iconic~. 3. Cher Horowitz chic This one’s for the Clueless fans. Cher’s blowouts were the polished, prep-school version of the ‘90s look—sleek, shiny, and ultra-controlled. The silhouette is smooth with a subtle curve, usually parted in the middle and styled with minimal frizz. While it still has volume, it’s refined, not wild. To get the look, focus on blow-drying with a smoothing serum and a medium-barrel round brush, tucking the ends slightly under. This style works beautifully on straighter hair types and plays well with hair accessories—think velvet headbands, mini barrettes, or a swipe of lip gloss for the full effect. 4. Kelsey Anderson waves Bachelor alum Kelsey Anderson is TikTok’s latest hair muse, and her modern take on the ‘90s blowout is blowing up. Less flippy and more flowy, this look is all about soft, romantic movement. The secret lies in the styling: round-brushed sections rolled under just enough to create natural curves, then finished with a gentle brush-out for that airbrushed finish. It feels fresh but nostalgic, like the upgraded version of what Rachel Green might wear today. It’s also incredibly wearable, especially for medium to long hair, and perfect for dates, brunches, or any moment you want your hair to do the flirting. 5. The side-part flip Dramatic yet totally doable, the side-part flip was a staple of ‘90s cool-girl glam. The part is deep, almost exaggerated, and the volume follows suit, lifting at the crown and cascading into a perfect flip at the ends. It’s a great option for anyone with naturally thick hair or a strong hairline, and it flatters pretty much every face shape. Use a round brush to curl ends away from the face, and don’t be afraid to push the part further than usual. Add a little hairspray and a bold lip, and you’ve got instant throwback drama. 6. ‘90s blowout with butterfly clips Nothing says '90s teen dream like a voluminous blowout topped with butterfly clips. This playful style combines big hair energy with nostalgic charm. Start with a classic blowout—lots of lift at the roots and a soft curve through the lengths—then part the hair down the middle and add mini butterfly clips to frame the face or pin back small sections. It’s flirty, youthful, and surprisingly wearable, even now. Bonus: it works on second-day hair too. Just revive the volume with a blast of dry shampoo and re-roll a few front sections to bring back the bounce. 7. Half-up blowout The half-up, half-down style gets a major upgrade when paired with a ‘90s blowout. This look keeps the volume but adds a touch of polish and practicality—perfect for when you want to show off your hair but keep it out of your face. After blow-drying with a round brush, pull the top half back into a high pony or mini claw clip, leaving the ends to bounce freely. The result? Instant ‘90s It-girl energy. Think Tyra Banks off-duty or your coolest babysitter circa 1997. It’s chic, low-effort, and endlessly versatile. 8. Curtain bangs combo  Curtain bangs were made for blowouts. These face-framing layers open like, well, curtains—softly sweeping to each side and blending into the rest of the hair. The look is flattering on almost everyone and gives a ‘90s edge without needing a full cut overhaul. To style, use a small round brush to lift and curve the bangs away from the face, then blend into the front layers using a paddle brush or your fingers. The rest of the blowout should have light, bouncy volume to match. A bonus? This one grows out gracefully and looks good on day three. 9. The sleek blowout If big hair isn’t your thing, the sleek blowout might be your go-to. Envisage Jennifer Lopez in the late ‘90s: smooth, glossy, and ultra put-together. This look still has body, but it’s more about shine and movement than lift. Prep your hair with a smoothing serum and blow-dry using a paddle brush for control. Then lightly curl the ends under or out, depending on your mood. Finish with a shine spray or hair oil to really bring the gloss. It’s elegant, versatile, and pairs perfectly with both minimal makeup and bold, statement looks. 10. The grunge blowout Not all ‘90s blowouts were sweet and polished—some had a little bite. The grunge blowout is the edgier cousin: slightly messier, more lived-in, and full of cool-girl texture. Think Drew Barrymore, Winona Ryder, or early Gwen Stefani. To recreate it, start with a classic blowout, then add texture spray or dry shampoo and use your fingers to break up the shape. You want it to look like you slept in it (in a good way). It’s perfect for layered cuts, shag styles, or anyone who likes their volume with a side of attitude.   Keeping your ‘90s blowout in check So, you’ve mastered the ‘90s blowout tutorial. Now, how do you keep it from deflating overnight? 1. Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction (read: frizz), and loosely tie your hair into a high, soft ponytail or bun—aka the “pineapple.” You can also wrap sections around large velcro rollers again to help maintain shape while you snooze. 2. Keep a round brush and hairdryer handy to re-style any flat areas. A dry shampoo at the roots helps revive volume, while a lightweight oil or shine spray on the ends keeps things glossy without going greasy. 3. Refresh your blowout by re-rolling the top layers or touching up the ends with a tool like the TYME Iron Pro. And hey, if things start to fall apart? Just pivot to a half-up style or a claw clip moment. Blowout hair loves a second act.   Will you try our ‘90s blowout tutorial?

These aren’t your average braids—and we’re not mad about it Why have one color when you can have two?! Two tone braided hairstyles are having a serious glow-up—and we’re not just talking about your TikTok feed. These bold, face-framing, scroll-stopping looks are popping off everywhere from fashion week to your BFF’s birthday dinner. What makes them so major? It’s not just the color contrast (though, yes, caramel + copper is a dream). It’s the way they let you blend protective styling with creativity. Picture platinum peekaboos woven into sleek knotless braids. Rich chocolate tones melting into honey blondes. Or pastel purple and black twists that say ‘main character’ in the best possible way. Unlike full-on color treatments, two tone braids give you that switch-up without the bleach panic or long-term commitment. They add movement, dimension, and a whole lot of mood while keeping your strands tucked and thriving. And no, you don’t need to be an IG influencer to pull them off. From subtle fades to high-contrast combos, we’ve got the inspo, trend-forward ideas, and need-to-know tips to help you find your braid moment. Let’s make some magic.   What are two tone braided hairstyles? Two tone braids are exactly what they sound like—braided styles that combine two distinct hair colors for contrast, dimension, and drama. But don’t get it twisted (pun fully intended)—this isn’t your average highlights situation. Instead of subtle lowlights or balayage, two tone braids are all about deliberate, high-impact color placements. Think: dark roots feeding into light ends, contrasting strands woven throughout each braid, or even a 50/50 split right down the middle for full-on alter ego behavior.   You can achieve the look using pre-colored braiding hair, clip-ins, or even dyeing your natural strands (if you’re feeling committed). The best part? It’s a super customizable trend that works across all textures and braid styles—from knotless box braids to Dutch braids, lemonade braids, cornrows, twists, and beyond. It’s expressive, low-maintenance, and way easier to pull off than a full head of permanent color. And unlike dye jobs that fade or grow out weird, two tone braids look fresh from start to finish, making them a go-to for people who want to switch things up without the stress. Now that we’re clear on what they are… let’s talk about the color combos that are currently ruling everyone's saved folders.   The color pairings everyone’s obsessed with Two tone braided hairstyles are giving QUEEN energy this season—and it all starts with the right color combo. No matter if you’re leaning into subtle or a full statement, there’s a duo for every mood, every braid, and every vibe shift. Here’s what’s trending hard right now (and lighting up every inspo board on Pinterest and TikTok). Blonde + chocolate brown A classic for a reason. It brings warmth, richness, and that sun-kissed softness. These look *chef’s kiss* in goddess braids, with dimension that moves in every twist and turn. Jet black + platinum We’re talking high drama. The contrast is bold, editorial, and 100% on-POINT. Perfect in box braids, chunky twists, or even a power braid pony. Ginger spice + cinnamon The softer, moodier sister of bright copper—and just as hot. This blend is made for protective style baddies who want to feel earthy, cozy, and still that girl. Even if you weren’t born a redhead, you can absolutely rock it. Burgundy + black Lowkey but impactful. The black keeps it cool, the burgundy brings the spice. It’s rich, versatile, and works on every skin tone. Plus, it’s the spicer version of the cherry cola that we ALL wanted in 2024.  Multidimensional blondes  This isn’t your basic blonde. Think honey, butter, champagne, and even icy tones braided together for soft luxury vibes. Gorgeous on knotless braids or fishtails that catch the light just right. Pastel pink + lavender Whimsical. Dreamy. A festival fave that also works in everyday life (especially when paired with soft, wavy braid-outs). Mocha mousse with ANYTHING Inspired by Pantone's color of the year—moody, neutral, and a little mysterious. This chocolate-meets-taupe blend is giving understated, quiet luxury and looks unreal in feed-in or halo braids. Espresso martini brunette with blonde accents Deep, glossy brunette with ribbons of golden caramel or ash blonde. It’s chic, dimensional, and a flawless match for layered cornrows or jumbo twists. Emerald + teal Unexpected? Yup. Show-stopping? Also yes. Jewel tones like this are the shortcut to a braid look that’s equal parts edgy and ethereal. Not ready to dive head-first into color? Start soft with a few accent pieces—like peekaboo strands in a slightly lighter or cooler tone than your base. It adds dimension and movement without the full-blown commitment. And if you are ready to go bold? Extensions are calling your name. They let you experiment with any combo under the sun, minus the bleach, damage, or dye remorse.   Best braid styles to show off your two tone moment Us protective-style girlies? We love a good braid moment—and with summer almost here (hello, sweat-proof hair that still slays), there’s no better time to book your next salon appointment. Especially if you're thinking of going bold with two tone braided hairstyles that bring all the vibes. The best part? This trend works across pretty much every braid type. But these styles? They were made for double the color, double the impact. Box braids Classic for a reason. Their defined structure makes it easy to alternate colors, create patterns, or build in a statement ombré. Want the tea? Go jumbo and let those two tones speak for themselves. Knotless braids Smoother at the root, lighter on the scalp, and so versatile. Knotless styles are great for more natural-looking color blends, especially if you’re playing with subtle highlights or gradient effects. Feed-in braids This is where two tone REALLY gets to show off. Feed-ins build color as they go, giving you that sleek-to-bold progression that looks amazing in both low-key and high-contrast combos. Fulani braids If you want your braids to double as art, Fulani’s the one. Two tone color helps highlight those intricate parts and face-framing details. Add beads or cuffs to amp it up even more. Cornrows + braided buns Functional meets fab. Cornrows swept into a bun or ponytail make every movement feel intentional, and when your two tones peek through the twists? Instant hair envy. Halo and crown braids Going for a softer, whimsical vibe? A halo braid with layered shades (like ginger spice or pastel blends) creates a dreamy wraparound effect that looks chic from every angle. Regardless if you're team box braid or living for a halo moment, layering in two tones instantly levels up your look—more dimension, more personality, and way more ‘who did your hair?!’ energy.   How to get the perfect two tone braided look Okay, girl. You’ve picked your dream color combo. Now it’s time to bring your two tone vision to life. Whether you’re headed to the salon or going the DIY route, here’s a foolproof breakdown to help you prep, plan, and slay your look. Step 1: Choose your color pairing Start with how you’re feeling. Do you want soft and romantic? Go for pastels or warm blends like copper and honey. Want something high-impact? Try jet black with platinum, or even emerald and teal for a little edge. Your skin tone, personal style, and comfort level with bold shades can all guide your pick. Step 2: Decide on braid type Not all braids are built the same when it comes to showing off your two-tone moment. Think box braids for chunky color blocks or cornrows or feed-in braids for sleek color weaving. Think goddess or boho styles for layered, flowing dimension, or think fishtail or Dutch braids for that intricate, peek-through effect.  Step 3: Gather your hair (and tools) If you're doing it yourself or prepping for a stylist, make sure you’ve got the right color extensions. Try to match the tones as closely as possible to your inspo pics. You’ll also need: – A rat-tail comb for clean parting – Braiding gel or pomade for grip and control – A spray bottle with water for hydration – Small rubber bands to secure the ends – Edge control and a brush for that snatched finish Step 4: Section and prep your hair On clean, detangled hair, create your parts using a comb and clips to hold each section. Moisturize and apply a leave-in conditioner or lightweight oil for extra protection. This will help prevent any breakage during the braiding process. Step 5: Start braiding Now for the fun part. Blend your colors depending on the look you’re going for—alternating strands for a candy-cane effect, stacking shades top to bottom for a gradient vibe, or weaving them side-by-side for contrast. Take your time and focus on consistency. Braids don’t have to be perfect, but a neat base makes a big difference. Step 6: Set and slay Once you’re done, seal the ends (hot water dip for synthetic hair), then set your style with mousse and tie it down with a scarf to lock it all in. Add accessories—cuffs, beads, thread—if you're feeling extra. And there you have it. Your two tone braids? The best of the best.    Summer’s a click away—this is your moment Sunshine season is creeping in, and what better way to step into your main character era than with a braid transformation that actually turns heads? Two tone braided hairstyles give you the perfect blend of function and flair—protective styling that looks editorial but feels effortless. This isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about showing up to brunch, rooftop hangs, or your cousin’s wedding with hair that says yes, I planned this, and yes, it slaps. If you go for face-framing contrast or full multi-tonal magic, now’s your time to experiment, express, and maybe even overshare it on your feed like the icon you are. Summer is almost here. Make the appointment. Pick your palette. The braid glow-up is calling, and you’ve never looked better answering it.  

If you're still fighting frizz after flat ironing, read this. There’s a special kind of heartbreak that hits when you spend a solid 40 minutes straightening your hair, only to step back, look in the mirror, and realize your strands still have a mind of their own. Been there, done that, cried about it. Here’s the thing, babe, it’s not just what flat iron you’re using—it’s how you’re using it. Especially when you’ve got a ceramic flat iron in your hands (aka, the secret weapon for shinier, healthier-looking hair if you know what you’re doing). But don’t stress. We’re not about to hit you with another impossible, 57-step hair routine that makes you late for literally everything. We’re talking about real, doable tips you can use, whether you’re styling for a night out, a Zoom meeting, or just because you want to feel like THAT girl. Ahead, we’re serving up the best ceramic flat iron tips you didn’t know you needed. (And no, it’s not just “use heat protectant” and “don’t fry your hair”—you deserve better advice than that.) We’re talking smarter techniques, game-changing tricks, and easy switches that’ll seriously upgrade your good hair days. Frizz, uneven textures, fried ends? Not on our watch. Let’s get you that clean-girl hair energy you were going for. Scroll on, girl.   How to choose the best ceramic flat iron Choosing a flat iron isn’t just about picking the one that’s the cutest color (although, let’s be real, that does help). It’s about finding a tool that actually works for your hair type, texture, and styling goals—without causing major damage along the way. First things first: size matters (always). If you’ve got short hair, bangs, or love a good flipped-under bob, look for plates around 1 inch or smaller. If your hair is long or thick, or if you like multitasking, you’ll want slightly wider plates to save time. Next, peep the temperature control. If your flat iron only has one heat setting—and it feels hotter than the surface of the sun—HARD pass. Adjustable temps are non-negotiable. Fine or damaged hair usually needs lower temps (think 300°F-ish), while thicker or coarser textures can handle a bit more heat. Don’t get tricked by marketing buzzwords. Ceramic flat irons should have full ceramic plates, not just a light ceramic coating. Coated plates can wear down over time, leaving you with snaggy passes and uneven heat. True ceramic plates = smoother styling, shinier finishes, and way less damage over time. Do you want a shortcut to styling that feels easy (and leaves your hair looking expensive)? TYME’s tools are basically the overachievers of the hot tool world. The Tyme Iron Pro, a rose gold dream, is an all-in-one curling wand and flat iron that heats up in 55 seconds, uses titanium plates for even heat, and gives you five+ different styles with one tool. Perfect for babes who want good hair days without a full glam team on standby. If you’re chasing big volume and bounce, the TYME’S 2 curling iron is your new BFF. It’s designed for building body, creating smooth curls, and pulling off effortless volume without stacking on a million styling products. Fast styling. Adjustable heat. Dual voltage. And serious stay-all-day results—no matter if you’re going sleek, wavy, or full-on bombshell. Now that you know how to spot the real MVPs, let’s get into the best ceramic flat iron tips that’ll change your hair game.   9 Best ceramic flat iron tips for smoother hair 1. Start with completely dry hair (no exceptions) If you hear sizzling when you touch your flat iron to your hair... girl, it’s already too late. Even a little moisture can fry your strands from the inside out. Water and heat don’t mix—unless you’re purposely trying to steam-fry your cuticles (please don’t). Always start with fully dry hair—preferably air-dried if you can swing it or blow-dried with a heat protectant. Bonus: dry hair holds styles longer, looks shinier, and helps you avoid those crispy, split ends no one asked for. Shine and longevity? Yes, please. 2. Pick the right heat setting for your hair type Flat ironing isn’t a “one temp fits all” situation, and cranking your iron to max heat isn’t a flex. Fine, color-treated, or fragile hair? Keep it low (around 280–300°F) to avoid unnecessary damage. If you’ve got thick, coarse, or natural hair, you can nudge it higher (up to 400°F max), but always use the lowest heat that gets the job done. Most modern tools (like the Tyme Iron Pro) give you full control over temperature settings, which is basically a non-negotiable if you’re trying to protect your hair's health and not just chase temporary results. 3. Always section your hair first Yes, even if you're running on coffee fumes and minimal patience. Trying to straighten massive chunks at once is basically a guaranteed way to end up with uneven heat distribution, patchy results, and arm cramps. Clip your hair into manageable sections—think bottom layers first, working your way up, and only release small pieces at a time. It feels a little extra in the moment, but trust: sectioning makes everything smoother, faster, and way more professional-looking. 4. Use a slow and steady motion If you’re rushing through each pass like you’re chasing a last-call Uber, your hair’s going to show it. A slow, steady glide lets your ceramic flat iron do what it’s designed to do: evenly distribute heat and smooth every strand. Picture it like painting a flawless eyeliner wing—slow, steady hands win every time. Scribble too fast, and it’s game over. 5. Point your flat iron downward It sounds like a tiny detail, but angling your ceramic flat iron downward as you glide it through each section is a game-changer for how sleek your hair looks. The downward motion helps seal the cuticle flat against your hair shaft, creating a naturally glassy, frizz-free finish. Holding your iron at random angles—or worse, clamping too hard and dragging—just roughs up your cuticle, inviting frizz and breakage to crash your good hair day. 6. Double duty—how to use a flat iron for curls Real ones know that ceramic flat irons aren't just for poker-straight styles. They’re your secret weapon for beachy waves, soft bends, and even tighter curls. The trick? Clamp a small section, rotate your wrist 180°, and slowly pull the iron down the length of the hair. The faster you move, the looser the wave; the slower you glide, the tighter the curl. It takes a little practice, but once you nail it, you won’t believe you ever packed multiple hot tools for one look. 7. Refresh second-day hair the right way Day-two hair has its own set of rules, but you don’t have to start from scratch. Lightly mist your hair with a little water or a dry conditioning spray (nothing too wet), touch up only the pieces that need love, and let your ceramic flat iron do its thing. Because ceramic plates heat evenly and gently, they’re perfect for smoothing out creases, reactivating waves, and making your second-day style look just as good (if not better) than day one. 8. Clean your flat iron plates regularly Built-up gunk from heat protectants, oils, and styling sprays can leave a sticky layer on your flat iron plates—and trust, that mess doesn’t just stay on the tool. It transfers to your hair, causing uneven styling, snags, and even heat damage. Wipe your plates down with a damp cloth (once they’ve cooled completely) every few uses. A clean, ceramic flat iron = smoother passes, better shine, and way less stress. 9. Invest in a tool that multitasks If you’re still juggling a straightener, curling iron, and hot brush like you’re auditioning for Cirque du Soleil, it’s time for an upgrade. A multitasking tool like the Tyme Iron Pro lets you straighten, curl, wave, and volumize—all with one tool and minimal effort. Fewer hot tools = less clutter, less heat exposure, and more streamlined routines. And honestly, who doesn’t love looking like they spent an hour on their hair when it actually took 15 minutes?   Ceramic vs titanium flat iron—what’s the real difference? Okay, let’s settle one of the biggest hot tool debates once and for all: ceramic vs titanium flat iron—what’s the actual difference, and does it even matter? (Spoiler: yes, it does.) Here’s the deal. Ceramic flat irons heat up a little slower but distribute heat more evenly across the plates. They’re gentler, which makes them ideal for fine, fragile, or color-treated hair. They help smooth frizz without totally frying your ends, and they’re way more forgiving if you’re not a pro at styling. Titanium flat irons, on the other hand, heat up super fast and get hotter overall. They’re better for thick, coarse, or hard-to-straighten hair that needs a little extra power to get sleek. But if you’re not careful, titanium can scorch more delicate hair types—fast. Think of it like this: ceramic = the nurturing friend who hypes you up softly. Titanium = the friend who’s always ready to jump into the group chat with ALL CAPS ENERGY. Both have their place—you just need to know what your hair needs. And because TYME knows not everyone’s hair plays by the same rules every day, the Tyme Iron Pro blends the best of both worlds with titanium plates that evenly distribute heat, adjustable temps, and versatility for straightening or curling, depending on your mood (or the humidity forecast). Bottom line? Pick the plate that matches your hair’s vibe—and don’t forget, technique matters just as much as the tool.   Ready for your best hair days yet? Good hair days aren’t reserved for special occasions—or salon chairs. With the right tools, the right techniques, and a little bit of insider know-how, you can turn every day into a sleek, shiny, "damn, I look good" kind of day. Using the best ceramic flat iron (and knowing how to work it) is one of the simplest ways to level up your styling game without spending an extra hour in the bathroom. It’s all about smart moves, not more effort. And if you’re ready to make styling easier, faster, and way more fun? The Tyme Iron Pro is here for you. One tool. Five+ styles. Long-lasting results. Minimal stress. Maximum compliments. Because life’s too short for bad hair days, babe.  

Two styling methods; one goal Silky, smooth, and straight—that’s the goal. But if you’ve ever debated between a silk press and a flat iron, you’re not the only one. Both techniques create sleek, polished hair, but they’re not the same thing. One is a technique, involving a multi-step process that locks in moisture, controls frizz, and delivers long-lasting movement. The other? A heated tool that straightens hair quickly, but often lacks the same level of shine, softness, and durability. So, what really sets them apart? Is one better for certain hair types? Does one last longer? If you’ve been stuck between the two, let’s break it all down—starting with the basics.   What is a silk press for hair? A silk press is a heat styling technique that straightens natural, textured hair without chemicals. It starts with deep cleansing, moisture-boosting conditioning, and heat protectants, followed by a precision blow-dry before the flat iron even touches the hair. The aim? Maximum shine, bounce, and smoothness, without permanently altering the hair’s curl pattern. A well-executed silk press leaves hair looking like it’s been relaxed, but it reverts back to curls once washed.   What is a flat iron for hair? A flat iron, such as the Tyme Iron Pro, is a heated styling tool that straightens hair by pressing it between two plates—typically ceramic, titanium, or tourmaline. It works on all hair types and can be used for sleek styles, waves, or curls. While a flat iron is a key tool in a silk press, using it alone doesn’t provide the same level of movement, longevity, or shine as the full process. Without the right prep, it can also lead to heat damage, dryness, or limpness over time.   The science behind a silk press vs. a flat iron The difference between a silk press and a flat iron job isn’t just about technique; it comes down to how heat interacts with the hair cuticle. The outermost layer of your hair, the cuticle, is made up of overlapping scales. When heat is applied correctly, these scales lay flat, reflecting light and creating a smooth, shiny finish. A silk press works in layers, first smoothing the cuticle with a blow-dry before sealing it with a flat iron. This results in a softer, more flexible straight style that resists frizz. A flat iron alone, however, applies direct heat without the same level of prep, which can leave hair looking weighed down, stiff, or even dry over time, especially if too much heat is used. This is why silk presses often last longer and feel lighter compared to a basic flat iron style. The prep work matters just as much as the tool itself.   Silk press or flat iron? Here are the key differences. To settle the debate once and for all, we’re breaking down the key differences between a silk press and a standard flat iron style—so you know which one is right for your hair goals. The process A silk press is a full-on multi-step process. It starts with a deep cleansing shampoo, followed by a moisture-boosting conditioner and heat protectants to prep the hair. Then, a blow-dry with a round brush smooths the cuticle before the flat iron even comes into play. The final step is a precision straightening technique using lightweight passes of a high-quality flat iron, creating a silky, bouncy finish. A basic flat iron job, on the other hand? Much quicker, but not nearly as refined. Without the proper prep, hair can be left looking stiff, dry, or lacking movement. Heat usage & hair health  One of the biggest advantages of a silk press is the careful control of heat. Since it involves a blow-dry first, the flat iron doesn’t have to work as hard, reducing the amount of direct heat applied to the strands. Fewer passes = less damage. With a standard flat iron job, there’s a risk of overloading the hair with heat, especially if it’s not properly prepped. Many people crank up the temperature to 450°F (yikes) just to get hair straight, leading to moisture loss, split ends, and potential heat damage over time. Longevity of style If you’re after a style that lasts longer, the silk press wins. Thanks to the prep work and lightweight product layering, it holds up for up to two weeks—even through humidity and minor sweat. A quick flat iron job? Might get you through a day or two, but frizz, reversion, or limpness tend to creep in faster. For those who want a longer-lasting sleek style without permanent straightening, a silk press is the better bet. Shine & movement A silk press gives that fresh-out-the-salon bounce—the kind that moves when you turn your head. The combination of a blow-dry, lightweight straightening, and smoothing products ensures that hair remains light, airy, and full of movement. A regular flat iron can leave hair looking flat, stiff, or greasy if too much product is used. Since there’s no blow-dry step beforehand, the hair doesn’t have the same natural lift, making the end result feel heavier and less dynamic. Suitability for different hair types A silk press is ideal for natural, textured, or curly hair—especially for those who want a straight look without committing to chemical relaxers. The controlled heat application ensures that curls bounce back once the style is washed out, making it a go-to for those who like switching between straight and natural styles. A flat iron alone works on all hair types, but those with tighter curls may find that it doesn’t deliver the same sleekness and smoothness without additional prep. Product use & moisture retention Because a silk press is all about hydration, it focuses on lightweight, moisture-locking products that keep hair from drying out. The result? A silky finish that resists frizz without feeling greasy. A standard flat iron session often relies on heavier serums and oils to fake the shine—but these can weigh the hair down or lead to build-up over time. Without the proper prep, flat-ironed hair can feel coated rather than naturally sleek. Humidity resistance A well-executed silk press can stand up to some humidity, thanks to the smoothing techniques used in the blow-dry phase. The cuticle is sealed before the flat iron even touches the hair, making it harder for moisture to cause frizz. A quick flat iron job? Much more vulnerable to humidity. Since the hair hasn’t been prepped to resist moisture, even a little sweat or humidity can cause it to puff up or revert quickly—especially on textured hair. Maintenance & upkeep Silk presses require less daily maintenance, mainly because they’re designed to last longer and resist frizz. Nighttime care—like wrapping the hair or using a satin pillowcase—can help extend the style for up to two weeks. Flat-ironed hair, on the other hand, may need daily touch-ups to maintain smoothness. Since it doesn’t have the same foundation as a silk press, frizz, bends, or limpness can set in faster, requiring frequent heat exposure.   Myth-busting: silk press vs. flat iron edition “A silk press is just a fancy flat iron job.” → Not even close. A silk press involves deep conditioning, a controlled blowout, and specific heat techniques for a light, bouncy finish. “Silk presses ruin natural curls.” → Only if done incorrectly. A well-executed silk press preserves curl integrity and allows the hair to revert once washed. The real risk? Excessive heat, improper technique, or frequent overuse. “Flat irons are bad for your hair.” → Not if used correctly. Damage comes from high heat, skipping heat protectants, or repeated passes over the same section. A quality flat iron + good technique = safe styling. “A flat iron is faster than a silk press.” → Maybe in the short term. However, a silk press lasts longer and requires less daily maintenance, making it the better option for long-lasting straight styles.   Can you DIY a silk press at home? While a silk press is traditionally done by professionals, it’s possible to do at home—but only if you have the right tools and technique. You’ll need: – Moisturizing shampoo & deep conditioner (hydration is key). – Heat protectant to prevent damage. – Blow-dryer with a concentrator nozzle & round brush for smoothing. – High-quality flat iron (titanium or ceramic plates work best). – Light finishing serum for shine without buildup. The biggest DIY mistakes? ✘ Not using enough tension when blow-drying (leads to puffiness). ✘ Skipping the heat protectant (hello, heat damage). ✘ Overloading with product (causes stiffness instead of silkiness). If you’re new to the process, a professional silk press is worth the investment—but if you’re confident in your technique, you can achieve similar results at home with the right approach.   Flat iron techniques for a silkier, longer-lasting finish Not got time for a full-on silk press?. If you want smoother, shinier, longer-lasting straight hair in a time crunch, the technique matters as much as the tool. (PS:- You can also use this technique as part of the silk press process).  Temperature control matters → Fine hair? Stay between 280–350°F. Coarse or thick hair? 375–410°F is ideal. Anything over 450°F is risky. Clamp and glide vs. comb chase → Running a fine-tooth comb ahead of the flat iron (comb-chase method) ensures a smoother, straighter result. One-pass rule → Multiple passes dry out the hair faster than necessary. Use a high-quality iron that distributes heat evenly so you don’t need to go over the same section more than once. Iron placement is important → Start close to the roots for an even press but avoid clamping too hard—this prevents unwanted creases. With the right technique, a flat iron can mimic the silk press effect, but without the proper prep, the results won’t last as long.   Silk press vs. flat iron—wrapping up If you're after sleek, straight hair, both a silk press and a flat iron can get you there—but the results and longevity differ. A silk press is a full styling process that includes deep conditioning, a blowout, and precise heat application, leaving hair silky, bouncy, and longer-lasting. It's the best choice for natural, textured hair that needs smoothness without a chemical relaxer. A flat iron, on its own, is a tool, not a technique. It works for quick straightening but lacks the moisture-locking prep and long-lasting effect of a silk press. Hair may need daily touch-ups, and without proper care, excessive heat exposure can lead to dryness or breakage. For a polished, humidity-resistant finish, a silk press wins. But if you just need a quick sleek style, a flat iron will do the job—just don’t skip the heat protectant.

If TikTok made you buy rollers, read this first… Some trends? They never really leave—they just wait for their comeback moment. And right now? Big, bouncy, brushed-out curls are having their main character arc. Your grandma had her velcro roller set. Your mum had her Conair Jumbo rollers. And now? You’ve got TikTok telling you to pin-curl your hair like it’s 1964. Full circle moment? We think so. The truth is beauty trends work just like fashion—cyclical, emotional, and usually driven by a celeb who makes us want to spend $98 on a setting spray. Enter: Sabrina Carpenter, our hair inspo queen of the moment. She’s out here giving us modern pin-up girl realness, swishy curtain bangs, and that va-va-volume that makes us want to throw our flat iron right in the trash. And naturally, we’re all spiraling (literally) over the same question, curling rollers vs curling irons—what’s *actually* better? Hot rollers are flooding our feeds, but curling irons have been our ride-or-die for years. Are rollers just the retro feel we’re craving, or are they secretly the better option? Before you drop a few bucks on something with velvet lining and ceramic cores, keep reading. We’re breaking down the pros, cons, curl types, and staying power of both tools—so you can figure out which one deserves your precious counter space (and your trust).   Wait. What exactly are hot rollers and curling irons? Before we start picking sides, let’s take a look at what we’re even talking about—because not all curls are created equal, and neither are the tools. Hot rollers are those retro-chic, cylindrical darlings your nan swore by—and now Gen Z is swearing by them, too. You heat them up in their little pod, roll them into sections of dry hair, let them sit while you do your makeup or scroll for 20 minutes, and boom! Volume, bounce, and the kind of curls that say “I own a satin robe.” Curling irons, on the other hand, are the go-to tool for fast, targeted styling. Clamp, twist, hold, release, repeat. They come in every barrel size under the sun, and they’re great for giving your strands some shape in under 10 minutes flat. But while curling irons offer precision, hot rollers bring the drama. The question is: do you want sculpted spirals or soft, swoopy glam? Or do you just want whatever works without giving you arm cramps? Disclaimer: both have their moment. But depending on your hair type, how much time you have, and what look you’re chasing (old-Hollywood wave or TikTok bouncy blowout?), one of them will edge out the other.   Hot rollers vs curling irons—the showdown Okay, it’s time to get serious (well, glamorously serious). You want volume. You want longevity. You want curls that don’t fall flat the second you walk outside. But which tool actually gets you there? Let’s think this through.  Ease of use – Hot rollers are a multitasker’s dream. Roll them in, walk away, answer emails, make coffee, scroll TikTok. They work while you don’t. – Curling irons demand attention. Section by section, curl by curl—it’s a one-on-one situation, girl. Verdict: Hot rollers win for hands-free convenience. Time + commitment – Curling irons are quicker if you’ve only got 10 minutes to spare (and know what you’re doing). – Hot rollers take a few minutes to set up, but then you can chill while they do their thing. Verdict: Curling irons are faster, but rollers give you your time back. Final look – Curling irons = sculpted curls, polished waves, red carpet spirals. – Hot rollers = soft volume, bouncy movement, fluffy blowout energy. Verdict: Want defined curls? Go iron. Want ‘90s supermodel bounce? Roll with it. Heat damage – Hot rollers use lower, diffused heat = less chance of frying your strands. – Curling irons can get very hot, and the direct heat can cause damage fast without protection. Verdict: Rollers are gentler if your hair is already stressed out.   The right curls for your hair type Not all hair dreams are built the same. Some of us are fighting gravity, others are praying for volume. The trick? Choosing the tool that actually works for your texture—not just what your For You Page tells you to buy. If you’ve got fine or flat hair... Say hello to your newest bestie: hot rollers. These give your roots that lifted look without weighing them down. Big rollers = big bounce. Plus, no clamp lines or tension = zero risk of flattening out your natural texture. TYME tip: Apply a volumizing mousse or texturizing spray before rolling for that full-bodied, bouncy finish. If your hair is thick or coarse... Girl, we LOVE the drama—but your hair needs heat that means business. Curling irons are your best bet here. The concentrated heat helps shape dense strands faster, and you’ll have more control over each section. Go for a wider barrel (like TYME’s 2") for glam waves, or a 1" iron for tighter definition. If your hair is naturally curly or wavy... You can honestly go both ways—hot rollers are great for redefining texture and smoothing things out while curling irons can be used to spot-style or stretch curls. But! If frizz is your nemesis, a curling iron gives you more precision. Just don’t skip the heat protectant. If you’re rocking extensions or clip-ins... Gently does it. Human hair extensions can handle both tools, but hot rollers are less stressful overall. Plus, they’re perfect for getting that cohesive wave-through-your-lengths moment.   Styling tools vs your lifestyle—what’s the vibe? Your curls shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. Choosing between curling rollers versus curling irons isn’t just about the final look—it’s about what fits your life. Are you a "snooze three times then get ready in 12 minutes" gal? Or do you live for a slow morning with coffee, skincare, and a full glam sesh? Here's what you should think about.  For the multitaskers and glam-on-the-go girlies Hot rollers are your secret weapon. Once you pop them in, you’re free to live your best life—apply makeup, blend that green smoothie, scroll TikTok for clean girl aesthetic ideas AND so much more. They style while you multitask. No burning your fingers, no holding a tool for 30 minutes. Just pop, pin, and chill. They’re retro in the cutest way—and majorly underrated. For the detail-obsessed babes who love the process Want curls with direction, drama, and a whole lot of bounce? Then curling irons are your ride-or-die. They give you precision, control, and that feeling of satisfaction when you’ve bossed your hair for the day. If styling your hair is your meditation, or you live for a soft, sculpted curl moment—grab that iron, girl. You’re in your element. If you’re a travel girlie (first of all, lucky you) Second, you need something that can keep up. Curling irons win this round, they’re sleek, compact, and don’t take up your entire carry-on. They also double as a quick fix for second-day waves or smoothing things out before dinner. No base, no clips, no chaos—just smooth, shiny curls on the go.   Longevity test—which curls go the distance? You know that magical moment when your curls are just right—bouncy, shiny, full of life? Our biggest thought then turns to, “How long do they stay that way?” We’re not just talking cute for the ‘gram. We mean curls that make it to dinner, drinks, and maybe even survive the pillowcase. So… who’s the real MVP when it comes to curling rollers vs curling irons? Curling irons—the instant gratification queen Curling irons give you results fast. You know exactly what you're getting as soon as the hair slides off the barrel. Tight spirals, soft waves, beachy bends—whatever your vibe is, it’s plug in, curl, go. With a solid heat protectant and a bit of holding spray? You’re locked in. But! The key is in your prep. If you skip mousse or don’t let your curls cool before touching them (we see you), they’ll fall faster than your motivation on a Monday morning. Hot rollers—the slow burn that pays off If curling irons are the fast fashion of hairstyling, rollers are luxury vintage. They take longer upfront (yeah, you’ve got to heat them and set them), but once they’re in? They build curls from the inside out. This means mega bounce, more volume, and better shape memory. Translation: they’re ideal for that all-night, pin-up-doll moment à la Sabrina Carpenter at the VMAs. No flop, no flatness, no “what happened to my hair” by 4 PM. TL;DR If you need fast curls now and don’t mind touching up later? Iron. If you’ve got time to prep and want that volume to live rent-free in your hair for days? Rollers. (Because girl, good hair should last.)   The bottom line? You don’t have to choose In the world of curling rollers vs curling irons, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer—just like your hair mood board. Hot rollers are the low-key MVPs for that soft, bouncy volume that whispers old money blowout. They’re perfect for multitasking girlies who want big results without being glued to a mirror. Curling irons are your go-to for speed, shape, and snatched definition. Think glam on demand. The best part? You don’t have to pick a side. Use both. Switch it up. Romantic volume one day, bombshell curls the next! Whatever tool you reach for, just know that you deserve curls that bounce, volume that hits, and ZERO heat regret. May your rollers stay hot, may your iron stay smooth, and may your hair always give main character energy.  

One chaotic glam night = a beauty station disaster You swore you’d clean it up tomorrow. But tomorrow turned into the next day, and now? Your beauty station looks like a crime scene. Somewhere under the mountain of cords, brushes, and hair ties, your straightener is probably still plugged in (NIGHTMARE!).  We’ve all been there. One rushed getting-ready session—maybe a last-minute date night, a “just one more curl” moment before heading out, or a TikTok-inspired experiment that got way out of hand—suddenly turns into a full-blown beauty disaster. We think that we all collectively agree, that trying to find your curling iron in a sea of tangled cords first thing in the morning? Not the vibe. But here’s the thing—organizing your hair styling tools doesn’t have to be a major project. You don’t need a Kardashian-level glam room or a Pinterest-perfect vanity (though, wouldn’t that be nice?). You just need some smart storage solutions, a little decluttering magic, and maybe a wake-up call that you don’t actually need five different curling wands. So, if your beauty space has been looking less like a chic salon setup and more like a beauty battlefield, it’s time to take control. Let’s get that glam station organized—and keep it that way.   Step one, the great hair tool cleanout  Before we even think about organizing, we need to address the elephant in the room—or, more accurately, the drawer bursting at the seams with styling tools you haven’t touched since 2017. It’s time for a ruthless, no-mercy cleanout. Start by pulling out every hair styling tool you own. Yes, all of them. Then, sort them into three piles: ✔️ The Everyday MVPs – The tools you ACTUALLY use on a regular basis. Keep these within arm’s reach. ✔️ The Special Occasion Squad – The tools that only make an appearance for big events (think hot rollers or crimpers). Store them in a designated space, so they’re easy to grab when needed but not taking up prime real estate. ✔️ The Retirement Club – The ones you never use, the ones that don’t work properly, and the ones that should’ve been tossed years ago. (It’s okay. We all have that one tool we swore we’d use but never did.) The ultimate space-saving upgrade And while we’re on the topic of too many tools, why have a straightener and a curler when you could just have The TYME Iron Pro? The Miley Cyrus of hair tools (because, duh, it gives you the best of both worlds, and who wouldn’t want that?), this genius all-in-one styler creates five different curls and straightens like a true profesh. More styling options, fewer tools cluttering your space—it’s a win-win. Once you’ve decluttered, take a deep breath and admire all that newly freed-up space. (Or at least the idea of it—because now, it’s time to actually organize.)   Step two. smart storage solutions Now that you’ve ditched the dead weight (RIP to the ringlet curling wand you swore you’d master), it’s time to get strategic with how you store the MVPs of your glam routine. No more tangled cords, cluttered countertops, or playing a game of “Where did I put my straightener?” every morning. The golden rule of tool storage? Easy access, zero chaos It’s obvious. If your styling tools aren’t easy to grab, you’re going to end up tossing them right back into a messy drawer. Instead, find a system that keeps everything within reach without looking like a hair salon exploded in your bathroom. Genius ways to store your styling tools – Heat-resistant pouches & mats – For the girlie who’s always on the go, a heat-resistant pouch means you can immediately stash your hot tool instead of leaving it on the sink, risking your expensive countertop. – Wall-mounted holders – The ultimate space-saver. A sleek wall rack keeps your styling tools hanging neatly while preventing cords from tangling like a bad relationship. – Drawer dividers – Because tossing everything in a drawer and hoping for the best isn’t a strategy. Use dividers or acrylic organizers to keep each tool in its own section (and no, your round brush should not be cozying up with your curling iron). – A dedicated styling station – If you have the counter space, invest in a beauty vanity desk or a dedicated styling cart. It keeps your essentials in one place and makes getting ready feel a little more glamorous. Once your tools have a home (and you’re not digging through a drawer of chaos), you’ll wonder why you didn’t do this sooner.   Step three, tame the cord chaos  It’s about TYME we mention the real villain in every beauty station: cords. They twist, they tangle, and they somehow tie themselves into knots overnight like a bad magic trick. And if you’ve ever accidentally yanked your curling iron off the counter because it was wrapped around your hairdryer, you know exactly WHAT we’re talking about. How to keep cords under control (without losing your mind) – Velcro straps & cable ties – Game-changer. Wrap up each cord neatly and secure it with a Velcro strap to keep it from getting wild. Bonus: You’ll never have to play “Which cord belongs to which tool” again. – Command hooks inside cabinets – A little DIY magic. Stick a few inside your cabinet doors and hang your tools by their cords to keep them off the counter but still within reach. – Rotating power strips – If you’re constantly unplugging tools because there are never enough outlets, get a power strip that rotates to accommodate multiple plugs at once. No more fighting with your hairdryer for socket space. – Built-in storage with cord management – If you’re feeling fancy (or just really over the mess), there are storage solutions designed specifically to keep tools and their cords separate. Think vanity drawers with built-in compartments or wall-mounted holders with slots for each plug. Taming the cord chaos is key to keeping your beauty station stress-free. Because honestly, nothing kills the pre-night-out excitement faster than wrestling with a rogue straightener cord when you’re already running late. Or WORSE, not remembering if that dreaded wire is unplugged or not. Our anxiety says no, thank you.   Step four, make the most of your space  If your hot tools are currently shoved in a drawer, stacked in a basket, or—worst case scenario—sprawled across your entire bathroom counter like they pay rent, it’s time for a storage upgrade. The answer? Maximizing your space without turning your beauty station into a full-blown salon. Smart storage ideas for every setup: – Drawer dividers – If you have a deep vanity drawer, use dividers to keep each tool in its own lane. No more digging through a sea of hairbrushes just to find your curling wand. – Hanging organizers – Over-the-door or wall-mounted holders keep your essentials within reach without taking up counter space. Perfect if you’re working with a small bathroom. – Rolling carts – The MVP of flexible storage. Keep all your tools and products in one place, then roll them out of sight when you’re done. (Bonus: You can pretend you’re a celebrity getting ready in a backstage glam room.) – Acrylic holders – Sleek, see-through, and easy to clean. These are great for keeping hair ties, clips, and smaller tools organized while still looking aesthetic. Once you’ve got your storage locked down, there’s only one thing left to do—admire your actual Pinterest-worthy setup. Light a candle, cue up your favorite playlist, and enjoy the newfound calm of a beauty station that actually works for you. Because let’s be honest, getting ready should feel like a main-character moment, not an Olympic sport. The ultimate beauty station checklist  Ready to forget glam station chaos? Run through this checklist and thank us later: ✅ Sort it out. Separate tools by type (straighteners, curlers, dryers, brushes) so you know exactly where to reach.✅ Declutter like a pro. If it’s broken, outdated, or you haven’t used it in forever. See ya later! ✅ Tame the cords. Use heat-resistant pouches, hooks, or a cable organizer to stop the tangled mess.✅ Make it accessible. Daily go-tos in easy reach, special occasion tools tucked away neatly.✅ Think vertical. Over-the-door organizers, wall hooks, or mounted holders save space and look sleek.✅ Heat-proof your setup. Silicone mats or stands = no more scorched counters or “oops” moments.✅ Multi-task where you can. One tool that does it all? Now we're talking.    The final brushstroke on your beauty station An organized beauty setup isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about sanity. No more digging through tangled cords like you’re defusing a bomb. No more last-minute panics because your curling iron decided to pull a disappearing act. Just smooth, seamless styling, the way it should be. And if you really want to cut out all the chaos? Maybe rethink the whole one tool per job situation. A straightener that curls? A curler that straightens? Sounds like a dream to us… but hey, we’re totally not biased or anything 😉.  If that DOES sound kinda good (of course it does), then you know where to look.  

If your long hair is stuck in a ponytail rut, these tutorials will change that Long hair is gorgeous, iconic, and powerful. Long hair styling? A daily TEST of patience. If you’ve ever stared at your reflection, hairbrush in one hand, sheer defeat in the other, wondering how it’s possible to have so much hair but zero styling ideas, welcome to the club. We’ve all been there. The struggle is real—ponytails become a personality trait, messy buns never turn out intentionally messy, and anything remotely intricate seems like it requires an extra set of hands and a degree in architecture. But here’s the truth, long hair doesn’t *have* to be high-maintenance. You just need the right lineup of go-to styles that are quick, easy, and actually cute (because let’s be honest, some “quick hairstyles” should really have stayed in 2012).

Here’s the deal: long hair is stunning, but let’s not pretend it doesn’t come with its struggles. It’s thick, it takes forever to dry, and somehow, despite all the effort, it still ends up in the same three styles on rotation. If you’ve ever thought: – Why does it take longer to wash my hair than to do my makeup? – Why does every “easy” tutorial require me to be a trained hairstylist? – Why does my hair refuse to hold a curl no matter how much hairspray I use? Then congrats, you’re officially part of the Long Hair Club™. And while we love being part of this elite group, sometimes the sheer volume of hair (literally) is overwhelming. But here’s the thing—it doesn’t have to be this hard. The key is finding styles that work with your hair, not against it. Think: easy updos that stay put, waves that don’t need a curling iron, and braids that don’t take 45 minutes to master. That’s exactly what we’re bringing you today—game-changing hair tutorials that make long hair work for you, not the other way around. So, grab your hair ties, dust off that neglected claw clip, and let’s get into the styles that will actually make your life easier.   The must-know styling tricks for long hair Long hair is like a high-maintenance bestie—gorgeous, dramatic, and always demanding attention. But with the right tricks? She’s easy to manage, effortless, and thrives with minimal effort. Before we get into the actual hair tutorials for long hair, let’s talk hacks—because once you master these, every style gets 10x easier. 1. Start with the right foundation If your hair is silky-smooth, limp, or refuses to hold a style—it’s time to prep it properly. Styling long hair without product is like trying to build a house without a foundation. It won’t last. – Use a volumizing mousse or texturizing spray before styling. It gives your hair grip so curls, braids, and updos actually stay put. – If your hair is too clean (yep, that’s a thing), dry shampoo adds the perfect amount of texture for styling. – For heat styling, always use a lightweight heat protectant—one that won’t weigh your hair down. 2. Master the “lazy girl” styling tricks Not every day is a full-glam day, and being real with you? Most of us are running on caffeine and pure vibes. When you need something cute but quick, these low-maintenance, high-impact styles are lifesavers: – The claw clip tuck – Twist your hair up, secure with a claw clip, pull out some face-framing pieces, and you’re effortlessly chic. – The “fake blowout” pony – Put your hair in a high ponytail, curl just the ends, and suddenly, you’re giving luxury salon vibes. – The overnight waves trick – Braid damp hair before bed, and wake up with heatless, effortless waves. 3. Know your updo shortcuts Updos on long hair don’t have to be an Olympic-level event. Keep these in your back pocket for instant style with zero stress: – The one-minute messy bun – Twist, wrap, pin. The key? Loosen it after securing it to make it look intentionally undone. – The “flip & tuck” low bun – Put your hair in a loose low ponytail, flip it through itself, then tuck the rest in. It looks way fancier than it actually is. – The “cheat code” braid – Can’t do a full braid? Just braid the top section and secure the rest in a ponytail. Looks intricate, takes seconds. Ready to style? Let’s get into the tutorials. Now that you’re prepped with the best tricks in the game, it’s time for actual styles you can recreate in minutes. No hairdresser required.   5 Long hair tutorials that will change your styling routine Now that we’ve unlocked the cheat codes for styling long hair, it’s time to put them into action. These five go-to styles are easy, quick, and actually wearable—no salon appointment or five-hour YouTube binge required. 1) The model-off-duty claw clip updo Why we love it: The claw clip revival from 2024 is here to stay, and we’re SO here for it. This style is peak effortless—it looks chic but takes seconds. Think of it as the love child of a messy bun and a sleek updo, perfect for days when you need to look polished but don’t feel like trying. Oh, and it oozes Parisienne chic, and who doesn’t want that? How to do it: 1. Gather your hair into a low ponytail and twist it upwards. 2. Secure it with a big claw clip at the back of your head. 3. Pull out some face-framing strands for a messy but intentional look. 4. Lightly tug at the base for volume. Done. Time: 30 seconds TYME tip: Works even better with dry shampoo for that lived-in, “I totally didn’t just wake up 5 minutes ago” texture. 2) The fake a blowout ponytail Why we love it: A good blowout is elite, but who are we kidding?—NOONE has the time (or arm strength) to do a full round-brush situation every morning? This trick gives you that bouncy, salon-fresh look with a fraction of the effort. It’s polished, timeless, and a must-know for anyone with long hair.  How to do it: 1. Put your hair in a high ponytail. 2. Use a curling iron or rollers to curl just the ends of your ponytail. 3. Brush through for soft, bouncy waves. 4. Wrap a small piece of hair around the hair tie for a polished finish.   Time: 5 minutes TYME tip: Add a volumizing powder at the roots for that bouncy, bombshell effect. 3) The effortless sleep-in waves Why we love it: Who needs a curling iron when you can wake up with picture-perfect waves? Our main character IT-girl Sabrina Carpenter has been serving dreamy, pin-up waves all over our feeds, and this hack makes it way too easy to copy her vibe. It’s zero heat, zero effort, and all results. We’re in love! How to do it: 1. On damp hair, apply a lightweight mousse or texturizing spray. 2. Braid your hair into two or four loose braids before bed. 3. Sleep (beauty rest = hair styling, who knew?). 4. In the morning, undo the braids, shake out your hair, and boom—effortless waves. Time: 2 minutes before bed TYME tip: A silk pillowcase keeps frizz at bay and helps waves hold longer. 4) The polished but effortless low bun Why we love it: There’s something about a slicked-back low bun that just screams MONEY—maybe that’s why Sofia Richie-Grainge is our clean-girl muse for this one. This is the look for when you want to look expensive, put-together, and like you definitely have your life together (even if you just rolled out of bed). How to do it: 1. Part your hair down the middle and put it into a low ponytail. 2. Twist the ponytail, wrap it into a bun, and secure it with bobby pins or a hair tie. 3. Pull out a few face-framing pieces to keep it relaxed. 4. Set with hairspray if needed. Time: 2 minutes TYME tip: Add a bit of hair oil to slick it down for an extra polished, clean-girl aesthetic. 5) The cheat code braid-pony hybrid Why we love it: This is the best of both worlds. You get the structured, textured look of a braid without the commitment of doing a full one. It’s the easiest way to add some interest to your ponytail and works for everything from the gym to a night out. How to do it: 1. Take the top section of your hair and do a quick French braid down the crown. 2. Once you get halfway down, secure the rest in a high ponytail. 3. Tug at the braid slightly for volume. 4. Wrap a small piece of hair around the ponytail holder for an effortless finish. Time: 3-5 minutes TYME tip: Works best on hair with some grip—use a texturizing spray before braiding. Long hair, no stress—we promise  Long hair is your identity, but it comes with PLENTY of drama. It really can be a full-time job. The tangles? The sheer amount of product? The way your strands somehow get stuck in literally everything (buttons, zippers, lip gloss, your own purse strap…)? BUT it’s pretty clear that long hair doesn’t *have* to be high maintenance. The secret is knowing how to style it in ways that look put together but take no time at all. No one wants to spend 45 minutes fighting with a curling iron before brunch at 9am, and with these go-to tutorials, you don’t have to (hallelujah!).  Between the low-bun chicness of Sofia Richie-Grainge and the Sabrina Carpenter-level waves, we’ve mustered up styles to make long hair fun again. They let you show up as THAT girl—whether it’s serving slicked-back or OTT, it really does not matter.  Now next time you catch yourself reaching for the same tired ponytail (again), switch it up. Grab a claw clip, twist that bun, braid some texture into your look, and remind yourself why you fell in love with your long locks in the first place. Because if you’ve got the length, you might as well make the most of it.  

Think short hair is limiting? These tutorials prove otherwise So, you finally did it. You took the plunge, chopped your hair, and embraced the bob, lob, or pixie of your dreams—a bold move, might we add. But now, reality is setting in. The go-to messy bun? Gone. The high ponytail?

And trust us, short hair may sound limiting, but as long as you know the right tricks, you’ll be good as gold.  Because here’s the thing, short hair doesn’t mean fewer styling options—it just means faster ones. With the right moves, you can transform your look in five minutes flat (or less). We’re talking soft, effortless waves, sleek model-off-duty moments, playful braids, and quick updos that actually stay in place. Whether you’re running out the door, heading to work, or just trying to convince yourself that day three hair is a look (we fully support this), we’ve got you covered. This is your ultimate short hair survival guide—the hacks, the techniques, and the styles that will keep your hair game fresh, fun, and endlessly versatile. Short hair, big energy. Now that’s a fact.    Short hair styling essentials—what you need before you start Before we get into the actual short hair tutorials, let’s talk tools of the trade. Because while short hair might mean less hair, it definitely doesn’t mean you can just wake up and expect it to cooperate (if only). If you want to nail the effortless-but-intentional look, you’re going to need a few styling MVPs in your corner. The short hair styling toolkit ✔ A flat iron (but not just for straightening) – Short hair and a curling iron? Sometimes not a match made in heaven. A thin, one-inch flat iron will be your best friend for adding waves, flipping out ends, or smoothing sleek styles. ✔ A texturizing spray or dry shampoo – Because short hair gets greasy FAST. A good texture spray adds volume, while dry shampoo keeps things fresh and doubles as a styling tool (hello, effortless bedhead). ✔ Claw clips, mini elastics, or bobby pins – Yes, short hair can do updos. A few well-placed pins or clips will be the difference between “this is a look” and “why is my hair defying gravity?” ✔ A lightweight mousse or styling cream – Not just for volume, this will help define layers, control frizz, and make styling 10x easier. ✔ A good round brush – For quick blowouts and flipped ends. Get one with a ceramic core for that fresh-from-the-salon bounce. Now that your styling lineup is prepped, let’s get into the quick and easy hairstyles that will have your short hair working overtime. Easy everyday styles—quick looks that just work Short hair has a reputation for being low-maintenance, but let’s be honest—it still requires some effort. The trick?

These everyday styles are quick, cute, and foolproof—perfect for when you’re rushing out the door, running errands, or just trying to breathe life back into second (or third) day hair. 1.

How to do it: – Start with dry hair (this works best on second-day hair with a little grit). – Use a flat iron to create quick, subtle bends—clamp small sections, twist slightly, and release. – Finish with a texturizing spray to break up the waves and add volume. – Shake it out, run your fingers through, and embrace the undone look. Why it works: It’s chic but casual, made for when you want that effortless cool-girl texture without spending 20 minutes curling every strand. 2. The slick-back moment (because sometimes, less is more) Perfect for: pixie cuts, bobs, lobs, and anyone who loves a sleek, model-off-duty vibe. How to do it: – Apply a lightweight styling cream or gel to damp hair. – Use a fine-tooth comb to smooth everything back, keeping it sleek and close to the scalp. – If your hair is shorter, tuck any flyaways behind your ears or use bobby pins to secure. – Finish with a shine spray for that glass-hair effect. Why it works: This style is modern, polished, and impossibly cool—the kind of look that says “Yes, I planned this,” even if you threw it together in 30 seconds. 3. The deep side part flip (volume in seconds, no teasing required) Perfect for: short bobs, lobs, or pixies that need a quick style refresh. How to do it: – Flip your part dramatically to one side (go as deep as you dare). – Use a round brush and blow dryer to add volume at the roots. – For extra hold, apply a light texturizing spray at the crown. – Tuck one side behind your ear or pin it back for a soft, effortless finish. Why it works: It’s the easiest way to add instant volume and movement—amazing for when your hair is feeling a little flat but you don’t have time for a full restyle.   Work-approved styles—polished, put-together, but still effortless Just because you have short hair doesn’t mean your styling options are limited—especially when it comes to work-friendly looks.

If you’re heading into the office, hopping on Zoom, or just want to look like you have your life together, these quick, professional styles will get you there in under 5 minutes. 1. The mini claw-clip tuck (yes, short hair can do updos) Perfect for: chin-length bobs, lobs, and layered cuts that just barely reach a ponytail. How to do it: – Gather the top half of your hair into a mini claw clip and twist it slightly for volume. – If your hair is extra short, take the lower sections and tuck them under with bobby pins. – Pull out a few face-framing strands for a soft, effortless finish. – Lightly mist with hairspray to hold it in place. Why it works: It’s easy, polished, and adds structure—without looking too overdone. Ideal for when you need to look professional, but also woke up 15 minutes late (don’t we all?).  2. The sleek micro ponytail (small but mighty) Perfect for: lobs and short bobs that can just barely fit into an elastic. How to do it: – Use a flat iron to smooth your hair before styling. – Gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. – Wrap a tiny section of hair around the elastic to hide it (pro tip: pin it underneath to hold). – Smooth everything with a light styling cream for a sleek, polished look. Why it works: It’s simple, structured, and always looks intentional—even if your hair barely makes it into a ponytail. 3. The textured pixie push-back (styled in two minutes flat) Perfect for: pixie cuts and cropped styles that need a little extra edge. How to do it: – Start with dry hair and work a lightweight mousse or texturizing cream through the roots. – Use your fingers or a fine-tooth comb to push the front sections back, keeping the top voluminous. – Mist with light-hold hairspray to set, or use a tiny bit of hair oil for added shine. Why it works: It’s effortless but put-together—the easiest way to make short hair look styled without spending more than two minutes on it.   Night-out styles—bold, playful, and effortlessly cool Short hair can be just as statement-making as long locks—it’s all about how you style it. No matter if you’re going for chic, edgy, or just a little extra, these night-out looks will take your short hair from casual to high-impact in just a few steps. 1. The wet-look bob (because nothing says “cool” like this) Best for: lobs, bobs, and pixie cuts that need a sleek, high-fashion edge. How to do it: – Start with damp hair and work in a mix of styling gel and lightweight oil for a glossy finish. – Use a fine-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly from roots to ends. – Tuck your hair behind your ears or let it frame your face for a more effortless feel. – Finish with a mist of shine spray for that fresh-off-the-runway effect. Why it works: It’s trendy, bold, and low-maintenance, making it perfect for when you want a high-impact style with minimal effort. 2. The micro braids moment (because details matter) Best for: pixies, bobs, and lobs that need a little something extra. How to do it: – Take a few small sections of hair near your face and create tiny, delicate braids (they don’t need to be symmetrical). – Secure the ends with tiny elastics or clear bands and gently pull them apart for a relaxed feel. – Leave the rest of your hair textured and tousled for contrast. – For extra drama, add a bold statement accessory like a pearl pin or metallic clip. Why it works: It’s playful, unexpected, and adds texture without being too structured—the BEST balance of effortless and cool-girl energy.  3. The short hair beach wave hack (yes, you can still get waves) Best for: bobs, lobs, and short layered styles that need movement. How to do it: – Use a flat iron or small-barrel curling iron to create loose bends (not full curls). – Instead of curling the entire section, just twist and flick out the ends for a modern, undone wave. – Finish with a texturizing spray to add hold and volume. – Flip your hair to one side for extra drama and movement. Why it works: It’s flirty, natural-looking, and universally flattering—proof that short hair can do waves too.   Heatless styling tricks—lazy but make it chic Not every day is a hot tool day.

If your flat iron is taking a day off (or let’s be real, you just don’t feel like it), these lazy-girl-approved tricks will give you volume, waves, and shape—no heat required. 1. The overnight waves trick (a literal dream) Best for: Bobs, lobs, and layered cuts that need soft movement without effort. How to do it: – Before bed, work a little mousse or curl cream into damp hair. – Loosely braid your hair into two or three chunky sections—the looser, the softer the waves. – Secure with scrunchies (because tight elastics = creases). – Sleep, dream, wake up, and shake it out for effortless texture. – Spritz a little texturizing spray for extra hold and movement. Why it works: It’s beachy, soft, and perfectly undone—and requires literally zero effort in the morning. 2.

How to do it: – Gather your slightly damp hair and twist it into a loose claw clip bun at the crown of your head. – Leave it for an hour or more (overnight for the strongest effect). – Take it down, finger-comb the waves, and spritz with a little dry shampoo for texture. Why it works: This style gives you super soft, natural bends that make it look like you casually have perfect hair. 3. The lazy slick-back (for when your hair refuses to cooperate) Best for: Pixies, lobs, and bobs that need a quick reset without washing. How to do it: – Take a lightweight styling cream or gel and warm it between your hands. – Smooth it through dry hair with a boar bristle brush for an ultra-sleek finish. – Tuck behind your ears, secure with bobby pins, or add a statement clip for extra edge. – Finish with a mist of shine spray if you’re feeling fancy.

Having the right tools, knowing a few quick tricks, and embracing the short-hair energy. Some days, it’s all about textured waves and cool-girl flips. Other days, you’re pinning it back, slicking it down, or letting it air-dry into effortless perfection. Short hair isn’t just a look—it’s a whole look. So experiment, switch it up, and most importantly, have fun with it. Because it doesn’t matter if it’s a casual day,  or a night out, your short hair is ready to SERVE.  

The bigger, the better! Big hair is BACK Sabrina Carpenter has officially resurrected the fluffy hair trend—and we are OBSESSED. From her perfectly styled pin-up waves to that unapologetically bouncy texture, she’s made us all want to embrace the drama of big, fluffy hair again. And let’s be honest, the internet has completely lost it over her looks.  Google searches for “fluffy hair” have skyrocketed ever since Sabrina started serving major volume, making this one of the hottest hair trends of 2025—and we’re not mad about it. Fluffy hair is a total vibe for any girlie lacking volume. It’s that oh-so-effortless kind of look, with just the right amount of bounce and texture. We're talking about the kind of volume that makes heads turn, the kind that says you’re here to make a statement—all without having to say a word. It’s playful, it’s bold, and it’s all about embracing big hair with unapologetic confidence. If our girl Miss Carpenter can pull it off (what can’t she?) with that effortless charm, why can’t we? It’s time to embrace the fluffy hair revolution, and honestly, it’s about time we had a little more bounce in our lives. If you're channeling Sabrina’s stunning waves or just craving that extra oomph for your everyday look, we’re here to show you how to get that big hair energy. It’s time to unleash your inner 90s baddie because fluffy hair is no longer trending in our eyes—it’s a lifestyle.    How to achieve big, fluffy hair—The essentials Ready to turn your strands into a fluffy masterpiece? We’ve got the step-by-step guide to help you get there because if we’re doing fluffy hair, we’re doing it right. Grab your hairspray and a blow dryer, and prepare to bring the drama—here’s everything you need to achieve that bouncy, full-bodied look that’s taking over 2025. 1. Start with the right shampoo & conditioner Big hair starts with healthy hair, and that means choosing the right products. Skip the heavy formulas that weigh your hair down, and opt for a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Look for ingredients like biotin, keratin, and rice proteins, which are known to add body without stripping natural oils. And don’t forget to give your scalp some love—healthy hair starts at the root, so massaging your scalp while washing is a great way to promote blood flow and boost volume from the get-go. 2. Add a volumizing mousse or foam Once you’ve got freshly washed hair, it’s time to pump it UP. A volumizing mousse or foam is your new best friend. Apply it to damp hair—focusing on the roots—and massage it in for that lift we’re all after. The product will give you texture and structure without feeling sticky or heavy, allowing you to work your magic while keeping your hair light and bouncy. 3. Blow dry upside down for maximum lift When you need to create volume, it’s all about the technique. To get that serious lift at the roots, flip your hair upside down and use a blow dryer with a round brush. Focus on the roots first—aim the dryer at your scalp and use the brush to pull hair upward, creating that fluffy, voluminous texture. If you want to take it a step further, give each section a quick blast of cold air to lock in the lift. 4. Tease, don’t overdo it Teasing is a bit of an art form—too much and you’ll look like you’re channeling 80s rock star, too little and you’ll miss the volume completely. Grab a fine-tooth comb and gently tease sections of hair at the crown for added height. Remember, the goal here is lift, not a tangled mess, so keep it light and subtle. 5. Use a texturizing spray or dry shampoo Once you’ve got your hair looking big and bouncy, it’s time to add some texture. A texturizing spray or dry shampoo will give your hair that lived-in, airy look. These products will help maintain volume throughout the day, giving you that fluffy, windswept texture we’re all after. Plus, they’ll absorb any excess oil, keeping your roots fresh and voluminous even after hours of wear. 6. Finish with hairspray (but keep it light) To lock in all that STUNning fluff, finish off with a light hairspray. You don’t need anything too heavy here—just something that’ll keep your hair from falling flat while still letting it move. Give your hair a final mist, and voilà! You’ve got big, bouncy, fluffy hair that’ll have everyone asking just HOW you did it.   Styling tips for maintaining fluffy hair all day You’ve nailed the basics and your hair is looking fabulous—but how do you keep that volume from deflating as the hours go on? We’ve got some styling tips to make sure your fluffy locks stay bouncy, bold, and full of life all day (or night) long. Here’s how to keep the fluff alive: 1. Avoid heavy products Fluffy hair thrives on light, airy products. Heavy creams and oils can quickly weigh your hair down, leaving you with limp strands instead of the voluminous, bouncy hair you’re after. Stick with light styling creams, mousses, or sprays designed for texture and volume. Think of them as your hair’s secret weapons—adding body without the bulk. 2. Don't touch your hair too much It’s tempting to run your hands through your hair throughout the day—but resist! Constantly touching your hair can make it flat and greasy faster. Plus, the natural oils from your hands can make your hair look limp. Try to keep your hands off your hair as much as possible. If you need to refresh your volume, reach for a little dry shampoo instead. 3. Keep a mini hairbrush or comb handy If you’re out and about and need a quick fluff-up, a mini hairbrush or comb is a lifesaver. A little comb-through at the roots can instantly refresh your look, especially if you start to notice some flattening. Focus on the crown and the roots to add volume back into your hair. Just be sure to use gentle strokes so you don’t undo all that teasing you worked hard for! 4. Sleep smart for volume Big hair starts at night—yes, really. To keep your fluffy hair in top shape overnight, try a loose braid or a soft bun to prevent it from becoming flat while you sleep. You can also use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction, which can cause frizz and damage. If you wake up to slightly flat hair, just refresh it with a little texturizing spray and a quick comb-through for that just-styled look. 5. Embrace the bedhead look A little messy texture never hurt anybody, right? If you want to keep that fluffy, airy vibe going all day long, embrace the bedhead look. After styling, run your fingers lightly through your hair to break up any too-perfect sections. This helps to maintain that effortlessly tousled, just-got-out-of-bed look—without looking like you’ve given up entirely. It’s the ultimate in carefree volume. With these styling tips in hand, your fluffy hair will stay full of life and personality, no matter what the day (or night) throws your way.    Haircuts that enhance fluffy volume Listen up, because we talk about fluffy hair, the right cut is the VIP ticket to next-level volume. If you’re dreaming of that Hollywood glam look, you need a cut that not only works with your texture but gives it life. These haircuts are the secret sauce for taking your fluffy hair from 0 to WOW.  1. Layered cuts When it comes to fluffy hair, layers are everything. We’re talking volume for days, honey! Layers not only add body but also make your hair feel lighter and more effortless. If you’re rocking long waves or a sleek bob, layers give you that lifted, bouncy crown that screams drama. And we can’t lie, who doesn’t want their hair to feel like it’s on a perpetual ‘I woke up like this’ high? 2. The shag haircut Oh, the shag. It’s the haircut that never goes out of style—and for good reason. With choppy layers and a textured finish, the shag is your golden ticket to fluffy, full-bodied hair that has a life of its own. The key here is that soft, messy feel—like you just rolled out of bed with perfect hair. Sabrina Carpenter is a certified shag queen, and you could be too. Don’t fight it—embrace the drama! 3. Blunt cuts with volume at the roots Think blunt cuts are just for sleek, polished looks? Think again.

It’s the best of both worlds—bold, chic, and absolutely ready to turn heads. Trust us, your hair won’t be the only thing that’s sharp. 4. The lob (long bob) with soft waves The lob is that perfect in-between cut—not too long, not too short. But when you add soft waves into the mix? That’s when the fluff really shines. The waves give your lob just the right amount of texture and body, creating a look that’s effortless yet oh-so-glamorous. You’ll have major big-hair-energy feels without even trying.  5. Curly cuts Curly hair is already a volume powerhouse, but when you work it into a killer cut, you get serious fluffy greatness.

You’re going for volume, so flip your hair upside down while drying. It’s a game-changer, trust us. And don’t forget a round brush to lift the roots for that sky-high volume. Go slow, use medium heat, and get the perfect fluffy finish. Mousse, mousse, and more mousse. Think of mousse as your fluffy hair holy grail. It's light, airy, and adds instant texture. Apply a generous amount to damp hair—root to tip—and you’ll have a fuller, bouncier look in no time. Plus, mousse is the secret weapon when you’re styling a shaggy cut or layers. It amps up the volume without weighing your hair down. Texturizing spray for days. Once your hair’s dry, it’s time to pump up the fluff with a texturizing spray. Lightly spritz it all over to enhance the natural texture and add body. This gives your hair that lived-in look and helps keep the volume intact through the day. The result? A no-fuss, effortlessly cool look that stays put. Avoid heavy products. The key to fluffy hair is keeping things light. Skip the heavy creams or oils that can weigh your strands down. You want your hair to move and bounce—so opt for lightweight, volume-boosting products instead.   The fluff is back, baby! And honestly? We’re living for it.
