“Overnight Blowout”
This hairstyle technique gives you volume like from a hairdresser overnight

Go for the hair dryer! Nope, on the sock! With the “Overnight Blowout” technique, you can conjure up more volume in your hair with just socks and papillotes. How to achieve the 90s supermodel look? Watch out!

Dramatic and glamorous – there is no better way to describe THE trend of summer 2023. With blow-dried hairstyles, the motto now applies again: more is more. Get to the hair dryer brush, ready, go? We admit: With professional stylists or professional tools, the perfect blow-dried hairstyle is a sure-fire success. But everyone who wants to save money and time, watch out! Because luckily for us, there is another way to get your hair in top shape – with minimal effort and overnight. The keyword is “overnight blowout” and conjures up a mane that looks like it has been blow-dried – with a sock.

Overnight blowout – already a huge trend on the internet

Who would have thought we’d use “fluffy mane” and “sock” in the same sentence? Yes, that comes as a surprise. But what initially reminds of a trick from the teenage room is actually one of the best and, above all, uncomplicated methods for the popular 90s blowout. All you need is a pair of thick socks, papillotes, a hat, and possibly a few bobby pins. The idea is currently going through the roof on the internet and users are presenting blowouts that would even make 90s icons like Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez jealous.

This is how the blow-dried hairstyle look succeeds with the sock

For the technique, the hair is divided into two parts. A third of your head of hair, the front section of hair, is brushed forward. First, comb the back section of hair, the remaining two thirds, backwards. Then the flexible foam pads or papillotes are inserted into the socks and the front part is rolled up from below towards the face. Once this is done, the sock hair roll can be bent back into a small donut and fastened using the open end of the sock or a small clip. The same follows with the back section of hair. Simply comb the strands upwards and roll the sock – which is best to have one more papillote for the larger part – again towards the face and fasten it.

As a last step, pull a silk cap or a large scarf over the work and the blowout is already well fixed overnight. The next morning you can roll out your hair again. And taadaa: Here they are, the bouncy curls with a blowout effect. Add a bit of hairspray for extra hold.
