Ever since their relationship became official, Zendaya and Tom Holland always seem to cause a stir when they step out together. Whether it’s an unexpected hand placement or sneaky kisses in the car, fans truly cannot get enough of their interactions, most likely because of how undeniably stunning they are together. Their most recent date night, however, was perhaps the best they’ve ever looked — and Zendaya’s bouncy ‘90s blowout is certainly pulling most of the weight (sorry, Tom).
On Wednesday night Feb.16, the couple was spotted in New York City on their way to a screening for Holland’s new film, Uncharted. Presumably because of the occasion, the pair were a little more dressed up than their typical outings; Holland wore a light gray suit with a black turtleneck while Zendaya channeled a ‘90s supermodel look in a belted black shirt dress and black sheer tights, her gloriously glossy hair bouncing with each step.
Her shoulder-length auburn locks are so voluminous they practically defy gravity, leaving fans on social media buzzing as the paparazzi photos continue to circulate. Jonathan Colombini, L’Oréal Paris celebrity hairstylist and colorist, dubs Zendaya’s hair “the ultimate ‘90s supermodel off-duty blowout.”

In a press email, Colombini shares his best tips for recreating the look.
“This style is best achieved with a classic round brush blow-dry, using a blow-dry primer with fantastic memory like L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyles Blow Dry Primer.
Keeping the hair’s elasticity and not using a curling iron will give the bounce and volume. Hair color always looks its best when it’s styled at its best. For a color refresh, I recommend using the EverPure Glossing Collection with the glaze for ultimate shine and seal, followed by the Le Color Gloss for high conditioning and effortless color toning.

Achieving a salon-worthy blowout at home is easier said than done, but one thing is for sure: it all comes down to using the right products. But with literally thousands of styling sprays, blow-dry creams, and leave-in serums on the market, how does one even know where to start? To narrow down the best blowout products for doing your hair at home, Bustle spoke with five top professional stylists — ahead, they share their tips and tricks.
"There is no doubt that the best blowout is going to start right from your beginning prep —starting with your shower. Just as you wouldn’t spend the time doing full eye makeup without an eye primer, your blowout won’t set properly if you don’t prime from the very start as well," Ali Anger, an Amika Pro Educator, tells Bustle. Choose a shampoo and conditioner that works with your hair type to provide volume, vitality, and shine.
Then use a leave-in product, like a smoothing serum or cream, to protect your hair from heat damage and restore any moisture that was lost during the cleansing process. "Remember: You don’t need a lot [of product]! Less is more when it comes to a lasting blowout," advises Jonathan Colombini, a L’Oréal celebrity hairstylist and colorist. Colombini also suggests investing in a really good round brush. Finally, finish off with a shine-boosting serum or hairspray to set your style.
Below, you'll find even more blow-drying tips from our experts, plus eight of the best blowout products that they swear by.
1. Best Shampoo & Conditioner For Dry, Thick, Or Curly Hair
You might have heard that you should wait until your hair is 80 percent air-dried before applying heat; however, when it comes to diffusing curly hair, this isn't the case. According to Jonathan Colombini, a celebrity hairstylist for L'Oréal Paris, it's best to keep your hair as wet as possible before diffusing to help eliminate frizz. We're talking dripping-wet hair.
If you need to dry your wet hair just a bit, Michael Dueñas, a celebrity hairstylist and consulting creative director, says you can scrunch it a couple of times with a micro-fiber towel to soak up some of the water, but remember to be gentle. "I see some clients roughly drying their hair with a towel and being abrasive with it, which will stretch your curls and create more frizz," he says.
Additionally, to help enhance your curls, Colombini says you can mold your curls by wrapping them around your index finger to create a tendril. "This will later be broken up once completely dry," he says.
“I recommend amika’s Velveteen Dream Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner to smoothen out thick, frizzy hair. I’m all about priming and then layering. Creating a base will guarantee that your blowout will slay all day. Use the best shampoo and conditioner for your hair type and then layer with your other favorite volume products."
— Ali Anger, amika Pro Educator
2. Best Shampoo & Conditioner For Fine, Thin, Or Limp Hair
Anger recommends amika's 3D Volume Plus Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner to "pre-boost finer, limp tresses." Both the shampoo and conditioner help promote the appearance of thicker, fuller hair both immediately and over time, while also offering moisturizing and detangling benefits. Like all amika products, these are sulfate-free and safe for color-treated hair.
3. Best Leave-In Conditioner & Blowout Cream
“I absolutely love UNITE Hair’s 7SECONDS Leave-In Conditioner. This is a great prep right out of the shower, followed up by the 7SECONDS BlowOut Creme to give you a blow-dry that can last two to three days. This combination before a blow-dry is mandatory."
— Graham Nation, UNITE Hair ambassador and celebrity stylist
4. Best Priming Spray & Smoothing Serum
“Blow Dry it Quick Dry Primer Spray mixed with Elvive Dream Lengths Frizz Killer Serum is an amazing cocktail that I use on all my clients to get the perfect, smooth blowout. It has heat protection and makes the hair soft and silky without weighing it down. I use a quarter-size amount of the smoothing cream and three pumps of the smoothing serum; run that through the mids and ends and use the rest of the product to smooth down hairline flyaways. [While blow-drying] use clips to section off your hair for better control. It’s easier if you rough-dry your hair first before starting the round brush process.”
— Jonathan Colombini, L’Oréal Paris celebrity hairstylist and colorist
5. Best Blow Dry Cream
“This leave-in cream provides heat protection, easy glide for fast blowouts, instantly smooths hair, and controls frizz. If your hair tends to frizz or is naturally curly, then you’ll want to have your hair fairly damp [when you dry your hair]. This will allow the heat from the blow dryer to manipulate the hair into a smoother blowout. To get a smooth blowout, it's important to go section by section, applying the heat in the direction of the ends of the hair so that it can seal the cuticle. If you point the nozzle towards your scalp, then you’re opening the cuticle, which will leave you with a rough blowout. On the other hand, if your hair tends to be fine and flat, then rough drying first upside down to get most of the moisture out and then round brushing will give you maximum volume.”
— George Papanikolas, MATRIX celebrity colorist
6. Best Serum For Shine
“When trying to achieve the best at-home blowout, preparation is key. As someone that works on a lot of curly hair, I understand that layering products as well as maintaining moisture and protection of the hair is vital. I’d start with the MATRIX Total Results Mega Sleek Shampoo and conditioner, then use a leave-in cream to dry hair and finish with MATRIX Total Results Mega Sleek Mega Varnish to add intense shine and build on the benefits I received from the cream.”

The 17 Best Shampoos for Every Hair Type
Shampoos are never one size fits all. Au contraire! Knowing which category your hair falls into will help determine what shampoo and conditioner you should purchase. Choosing the right shampoo is important for everyone and figuring out what works best for your hair.
Check out this informative guide for the best shampoos at every imaginable price point to up your washing routine.

Whether you want to enhance curls, brighten your blonde or pump up the volume, we’ve got you covered!
When it comes to choosing the best shampoo for your needs, think about the way you shop for skincare products. Just like someone with oily skin wouldn’t reach for a heavy moisturizer, someone with curls shouldn’t suds up with a shampoo for straight locks. It’s all about shopping for your hair type and condition to get the best results.
“Before choosing the best shampoo for your hair type it’s important to understand your hair type and texture,” says Jamie Wiley, Pureology Global Artistic Director. “Ask yourself if your hair strands are fine, medium, or thick and then whether your texture is wavy, straight, curly, thick, dry, and/or color-treated. Knowing which category you fall into will help determine what shampoo and conditioner you should take home. Choosing the right shampoo is important for everyone and figuring out what works best for your hair.”
How to find the best shampoo for your hair type
Fine hair tends to have more buildup on the scalp, so it requires a shampoo that has a deep cleansing agent, advises Wiley. Dry hair needs essential oils and the best ones contain coconut oil and avocado oil. Thick hair is prone to getting dirty very fast and so equal amounts of cleanser for thick hair is ideal. “The benefits of using targeted shampoos is that you will be able to treat the damage faster and more specific than without a targeted purpose,” Wiley says. “Hair is shinier, healthier, manageable, bouncy, and has movement. Actually, if you aren’t using a targeted shampoo you could be hurting the condition rather than helping it. By using the shampoo that has been recommended for your hair, it will balance out the maximum vibrancy and shine of the hair cuticle. It will also balance the scalp’s pH levels and hair will continue to grow strong and healthy.”
However, many of us have more than one hair concern, so don’t feel the need to limit yourself to just one bottle.
“I always suggest using a few different shampoos that perhaps address a few different things, it’s always great to switch it up.”
How often should you shampoo your hair?
How often you should shampoo your hair depends on a few factors. “In my opinion, a healthy scalp likes to be washed every two to three days; this depends on hair and scalp type,” says Ashley Streicher, Consulting Celebrity Stylist for Garnier. To determine how often you should wash your hair, listen to your strands and scalp. “Shampoo as needed based on your oil production,” Wiley says. “Normal oil production is three times a week, about every other day or every three days. If you have an oily scalp, then you shampoo every day. Of course, if you have curly or coily hair, then you wash based on your curls about once a week or sometimes longer.”
The best way to wash your hair with shampoo
Knowing the right way to wash your hair is also crucial to making the most out of your shampoo and boosting your hair health. “Really only focus on shampooing the roots of your hair and mainly your scalp,” Streicher advises. “The ends of your hair do not need to be the focus of shampooing and in fact avoid the ends when possible as to not dry them out. The ends don’t get the natural oils from your scalp so that hair is already extra dry and does not need to be cleansed of these oils. When washing your scalp, it’s inevitable that your ends will also get sudsed, so that is plenty for your ends.”
First, thoroughly wet your hair, as shampoos emulsify much better in water. “Apply a liberal amount in the palm of your hands and then to your scalp,” Colombini says. “In a circular motion, work the shampoo into your scalp and enjoy the lather. Work the later through the mid shafts. Depending on when you washed last you may need another round, so rinse and repeat.”
In between washes, it’s best not to overload on hair-care products. “I think that in-between shampoos and styling, the best thing you can do for your hair and scalp is to just let it be,” Streicher says. “Let it breathe when possible and taking a break from products and styling tools is always encouraged.”
To help you get your healthiest, shiniest hair, shop these best shampoos for every hair type.

9. Drunk Elephant Cocomino Glossing Shampoo
Best Shampoo Overall
It’s hard to think of a hair launch more heralded than Drunk Elephant’s, yet somehow the entire collection exceeded the very high expectations, especially the shampoo. Founder Tiffany Masterson has always been about skincare with clean ingredients that get the job done, so she applied her signature philosophy to the scalp. When your childhood friend is an A-list celebrity hairstylist, you tap into his expertise, so Chris McMillan weighed in on the shampoo and all of the other hair products. Suited for all hair types, from straight to coily, the shampoo washes away impurities while leaving strands so deeply hydrated that it even helps prevent breakage and split ends. The sulfate-free, color-safe formula is infused with sacha inchi seed oil to moisturize, add shine, prevent heat styling damage and soothe irritation; panthenol, aka pro-vitamin B5, to smooth, soften and strengthen the hair shaft; and a coconut amino acid blend that’s packed with fatty acids to gently rid hair of dirt and styling products while boosting body and bounce.
