I have always been in pursuit of a bouncy blow dry, but it's not something that comes easily. I have very long, very thick hair that requires a fair amount of heat to style, and no matter how much mousse I use, the weight of my hair means that whatever "lift" happens is short-lived.
That's why I did a double-take when I saw Sam McKnight's The Big Set—it was quite the throwback: a giant, '50s-esque, gold hood dryer, which you pop over freshly rolled hair, blast with a hair dryer, and voila, it's intended to be a hands-free shortcut to big, bouncy, Victoria's Secret bombshell hair. Consider me sold.
