If you’ve been anywhere online lately, it would appear that big, long-layered, and voluminous hair reminiscent of blowouts from the ’90s (think Cindy Crawford à la her Pepsi commercial days) is one of the most coveted styles. In fact, TikTok is filled with an abundance of techniques, product reviews, and styling tools to help people achieve this timeless coif.
“I love hood dryers because it’s an indirect heat source, which results in less damage than, say, a styling tool or close blow dryer!” Garrington told HuffPost via email. “Plus, you can sit under it while you get other things done, like checking emails or even just scrolling.”
Additionally, models like this one from Modern Elements claim to cut down on drying time while also promoting a smoother texture to strands when compared to a standard blow dryer. This is because it uses tourmaline, a kind of drying technology that emits infrared heat and negative ions, resulting in shiny tresses. The dryer, which is fully equipped with three quiet temperature settings and a height-adjustable stand, is full-rolling, which means you can use it in any area of your home.
