The voluminous, bouncy blowouts of the 1990s are making a comeback, and salon professionals need to be prepared to meet this growing demand. Whether your clients are looking for that iconic supermodel bounce or a soft, effortless lift, mastering the art of the 90s blowout is essential. In this guide, we’ll break down professional techniques and the best products available at DBC Hair & Beauty Supplies to achieve this timeless look.

Step 1: Prep the Hair for Maximum Volume

A successful blowout starts with the right foundation. Choose a volumizing shampoo and conditioner to create lift without weighing the hair down. Look for products with lightweight formulas that add body and movement. After cleansing, towel-dry the hair and apply a heat protectant spray to prevent damage while ensuring a smooth finish.

• CPR Volume Amplify – Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner

• Abril et nature Thermal Protector – Heat Protectant Spray

Step 2: Apply the Right Styling Products

For lasting volume, apply a root-lifting spray or mousse while the hair is still damp. Concentrate the product at the roots and work it through the mid-lengths to create structure and hold. Avoid overloading the ends to maintain bounce.

Recommended Products:

• CPR Root Lift Foundation – Root-Lifting Spray

• Nak Hair Volume Foam – Volumizing Mousse

Step 3: The Perfect Blow-Dry Technique

Divide the hair into sections for better control. Using a professional-grade hairdryer with a nozzle attachment, work with a ceramic or boar bristle round brush to lift the roots while directing airflow upwards. Roll the brush towards the ends to create movement and bounce. For extra volume, encourage clients to flip their head upside down while drying the roots.

Recommended Tools:

• Wahl Power Dryer – Professional Blow Dryer (Bulk Deal available)

• Round Brush (Ceramic or Boar Bristle)

Step 4: Setting the Style with Velcro Rollers

For long-lasting volume, wrap each section of warm hair around Velcro rollers and allow them to cool completely. This technique locks in the shape and adds even more bounce. Once cooled, gently remove the rollers and run fingers through the hair for a natural finish.

Recommended Tools:

• Swiss Roller – Velcro Rollers 

Step 5: Lock in the Look

Finish with a lightweight texturizing spray or volumizing hairspray to hold the style without stiffness. A touch of shine serum on the ends will enhance smoothness and reflectivity while keeping frizz at bay.

• DesignME Volume Powder – Volumizing Powder

• JJ's Deep Shine Serum – Shine Serum
