If, like us, you've found yourself painstakingly trying to mimic Swedish influencer Matilda Djerf's signature fluffy blow dry (how on earth does she make it look so effortless?), we feel compelled to remind you that sexy, bouncy locks are no fleeting fad.
Granted, the ultra-voluminous blow dry is certainly having a moment right now, but the look is something of a hair classic – just ask Cindy Crawford.

How to recreate Cindy Crawford's 90s blow dry
© Getty"This blow dry was the quintessential look of the late 80s and early 90s, before the appearance of grunge," celebrity hairstylist Neil Moodie explains. "To achieve this ultra-voluminous look, it's really important to select the right products and equipment."
How we chose:
Celebrity hairstylist-approved: The hair product inclusions have been selected by Neil, all of which he loves and uses on his high-profile clients.
Step 1
"First, add a heat-protecting detangling spray and then layer with a mousse such as Pureology's Weightless Volume Mousse. It's essential to apply the mousse at the roots of your hair as this is where the volume comes from."
Step 2
"Next take a large round brush and blow dry the hair in sections from roots to ends, always lifting the roots away from the head as you pass the brush through your hair, followed by the dryer which should preferably have a nozzle on the end to concentrate the hot air flow onto each section."
Step 3

With the hair wrapped around the brush, cool each section off before moving onto the next section. When hair is hot it can still change shape, so cooling it off is imperative to setting the volume."

Step 4
"Decide on your parting and work up towards it from both sides, repeating the techniques listed above. Without the root lift you will not achieve the volume required."
Step 5
"Once all the hair is dry, I recommend a spritz of Hair By Sam McKnight's Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist at the root of the hair on the top. You can also backcomb a little at the roots if you need it. For that extra lift at the front, backcomb at the roots just behind the hairline."
Step 6
"Finally take a flat bristle brush – such as a Mason Pearson – and lightly brush your hair into the finished style. Mist with a little hairspray to hold in place – I like Redken's Quick Dry Hairspray as it's a great fine hairspray that holds well, but also brushes out easily."
