No but seriously, if you’ve ever stared at your reflection in the mirror like, “Wait, is this how Anne Hathaway looked in The Princess Diaries?” then the princess blowout is your new obsession. This nostalgic, voluminous look is basically a TikTok obsession with a side of 2000s nostalgia—think soft curls, a little drama, and a whole lot of “I’m royalty, so I don’t need to touch my hair.” But here’s the kicker: to nail it, you might have to defy every styling rule you’ve ever been told. Like, curling your hair away from your face? That’s basically a lie. The real magic happens when you curl it toward your face. It’s like your hair’s giving you a hug and also a crown.
Pro stylists are basically obsessed with this look, and for good reason. The secret sauce? Layered haircuts. “Soft layers and a cool ’70s curtain fringe are optimal,” says Philip Downing, who’s basically the hair wizard of Bed Head. If you’ve got one-length, long, and heavy hair? Gravity is your enemy. Layers = volume, and volume = royalty. Plus, prepping your hair with lightweight shampoo and a volumizing cocktail of Queen for a Day and Small Talk (yes, those are real products) is key. If you’re battling frizz, a root-lifting spray on towel-dried hair can work miracles. And don’t forget the heat protectant—thick or frizz-prone hair? Cream versions double as blowout primers for that extra-glossy finish.
Once your hair is mostly dry, it’s time to get technical. Use a round brush (smaller barrels for curl, bigger for volume) and section your hair. Lift each section up and forward to shape the root—this tension is what gives that lift. If you’re using a blow dryer, roll sections off the brush and over a Velcro roller, then let it cool. Or switch to a wide-barreled curling iron for that effortless, “I woke up like this” vibe. Downing’s pro tip? Spray Masterpiece hairspray on each section before curling to lock in shape and shine. And don’t forget to mix up the curl direction—some away from your face, some toward—for that soft, romantic frame.
So, are you ready to trade your flat, lifeless blowout for a look that screams, “I’m a princess, and I know it”? Drop your go-to styling hack below—let’s make this look official.
