Next up, the Barbie blowdry. With the aim of achieving a doll-like 'do, I headed down to Duck & Dry in London's Carnaby Street to see hairstylist Sandra Truong. Starting with the Duck & Dry
Full Feathers Shampoo (£18) specifically designed for thick hair, followed by the Duck & Dry Full Feathers Conditioner (£20), I began my quest for luscious hair looking more like a drowned rat than blowdried Barbie, but trusted the process.
While still damp, Truong spritzed away with the Duck & Dry Blow Dry In A Bottle - Mega Volume Spray (£25) to add that much-needed volume and prep the hair for the heat of the hairdryer. Then, separating the hair into sections, Truong used a medium-sized brush to wrap and roll, directing the hairdryer at the ends, trapping in the heat before rolling and clipping in place.
If doing this yourself, her top tip is to roll each section forward before quickly flipping back every time you unravel. After each section was rolled, Truong doused me in hairspray. Out I went into the world looking like a 1950s pin-up, before pulling them out just in time for the finished look. The result? A voluminous blowdry that gave the perfect Barbie-esque bounce.
