How to Get the Iconic Victoria’s Secret Hair Blowout in 5 Easy Steps

We couldn’t keep our eyes off the screens during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show—and no, it wasn’t just the dazzling wings or glittering runway moments. This year, one thing stole the spotlight in every frame: that iconic hair blowout. Big, bouncy, shiny, and full of life—the kind of hair that seems to float with every step. It’s the ultimate “cool-girl” glamour, and the best part? You can absolutely recreate it at home.

Welcome to your backstage pass on how to master the hair blowout—with or without heat.

The Secret Behind the Angels’ Signature Hair

The Victoria’s Secret blowout isn’t just about curls—it’s about movement. Think of it as the perfect blend of volume and polish: soft bends at the ends, lifted roots, and that glossy, just-left-the-stylist’s-chair finish.

Behind the scenes, stylists prep with a volumizing mousse, smooth strands with a round brush, and finish with a touch of shine spray. But you don’t need a team of professionals or a backstage setup to get the look. What you need is the right approach—and the right products and tools.

Step 1: Prep Like an Angel

Any good hair blowout starts before the first strand meets heat. After washing your hair, use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner like OUAI Thickening Volume Shampoo and BUMBLE AND BUMBLE Super Rich Conditioner to create a full, airy foundation.

Next, while your hair is still damp, apply a heat protectant and a lightweight mousse—the Moroccan oil Volumizing Mousse is a fan favorite. Focus on your roots and flip your hair upside down while rough-drying to build that essential lift.

Step 2: Choose Your Blowout Weapon

Now, it’s time to pick your styling tool. The Angels may have an entire glam squad, but these devices bring that same runway effect right to your vanity.

• Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler: The gold standard of modern styling. Using air instead of extreme heat, it gives that signature bounce and shine with minimal damage. Perfect for creating those soft, bombshell waves seen on the Victoria’s Secret runway.
• Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus: The internet’s most beloved brush-dryer hybrid. It lifts at the roots, smooths out frizz, and gives you that full-bodied hair blowout in record time.
• T3 AireBrush Duo: With interchangeable brush heads and multiple heat settings, it’s perfect if you want control and versatility. It mimics a salon blowout right at home.
• GHD Helios Professional Dryer: Lightweight yet powerful, it pairs beautifully with a large ceramic round brush for that sleek, glossy finish with natural volume.
• BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Roller Set: For those who prefer a more hands-off approach, hot rollers can deliver that soft, angelic lift while you get ready.

Any of these tools will help you achieve that dreamy, “runway wind” moment we all crave.

Step 3: The Blowout Technique

Whether you’re using a blow dryer, brush styler, or rollers, the technique makes all the difference.

1. Section your hair into manageable parts—smaller sections mean more control and a smoother finish.
2. Start at the roots, aiming your dryer downward while using a round brush to pull hair taut and roll the ends under slightly.
3. Once dry, pin each section with a velcro roller or clip and let it cool completely. This locks in shape and bounce.
4. Finish with a texturizing mist like Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray for airy movement.

When you take it all down, you’ll see that signature Victoria’s Secret hair blowout—shiny, voluminous, and ready to steal the spotlight.

Step 4: The Heatless Hair Blowout

Not into hot tools? You can still channel your inner Angel. The heatless hair blowout is trending for a reason—it’s simple, gentle, and delivers serious volume overnight.

Start with slightly damp hair, and use a heatless satin curling band or even your robe belt. Wrap your hair around it, secure the ends, and sleep on it. In the morning, release the curls and gently brush them out with your fingers.

Finish with a few drops of Ouai Hair Oil or Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil for that glossy runway sheen. You’ll wake up with soft, bouncy waves that rival the pros—no heat, no damage, no 4 a.m. call time.

Step 5: Lock It In and Make It Last

A truly great hair blowout lasts for days. To keep your style looking fresh and full:

• Use a dry shampoo like Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo to add lift and absorb oil.
• Sleep on a silk pillowcase to prevent frizz and preserve shape.
• Flip your hair upside down and mist a light hairspray such as Color WOW to revive volume each morning.

Pro tip: Day 2 and 3 blowouts look even better—the slight texture gives that effortless, “I woke up like this” vibe every Angel seems to have.

The Takeaway: Blowout Confidence

The magic of the Victoria’s Secret hair blowout isn’t just in the look—it’s in how it makes you feel. There’s something about running your fingers through soft, voluminous, glossy hair that brings instant confidence.

You don’t need a glam squad or a backstage pass—just the right prep, a few good tools, and the know-how to bring the runway home.

So, the next time you’re watching the Angels strut, remember: that same hair blowout moment can be yours. Big, bouncy, and beautifully you.
