‘What rollers?’

It was the oh-so-innocent question asked by a Glastonbury go-er in a now viral BBC News clip.

Despite having a full set of rollers in her hair, when asked to ‘explain’ them, she misunderstood the question completely and thought she was being asked about her broken suitcase wheels.

When pressed again for an answer, the penny dropped. ‘Oh, I just got a curly blow this morning,’ she laughed.

The festival guest was branded an ‘icon’ – and the curly blow became the hairstyle on everyone’s lips.

While Liverpool ladies have been loving the curly blow since time began, it seems to be having a renaissance on TikTok, with the hashtag ‘curly blow’ currently at more than 15million views.

Even before the Glastonbury moment, it caught the eye of people who visited the city for Eurovision.

As creator, Matt Loves Hair explained: ‘All the Liverpool girlies are doing it.

‘It’s a round brush blow out with pin curls.’

But he also pointed out the key factor that truly makes this look what it is: ‘What makes it a curly blow is leaving the beauty shop with your pin curls, and going around town doing all your errands pinned up.’

Matt adds that he thought he was ‘being punk’d’ until he spotted another girl in rollers ‘in the wild.’

So if you want emulate those oh-so-glam Scouse girls, how is it done?

Well, the easiest way is to go to a professional hair stylist and ask for a curly blow dry – and stress that you’d like your hair pin curled afterwards, to set the style.

However, if you don’t have the time or money for a salon trip, there are some at-home options too.

TikToker and hairstylist Rachel Valentine explains a handy technique in a hair tutorial video.

‘Grab a tongue and roll the ends of your hair inwards. If you don’t have a tongue, you can also do he same movement with a straightener.

‘On your next section you’re going to do the same movement but you’re going to change directions and flick the hair out instead.’

Rachel then secures her curls with setting clips – but says you can use a roller too.

‘Repeat this around your head, just remembering to change the direction of each curl.

‘When you’ve reached the top, ignore your parting and just curl every single section away from your face.

‘You’ll get so much more volume – like you would with a blow dry.’

Rachel says to let this cool for at least five minutes – or as long as you have time for.

You then remove the clips and voila – give it a shake and a bit of backcombing, and you’ve cheated a curly blow at home.
