Ever heard of a "European blow-dry"?

According to Glamour, it's a new salon service that involves up to 25 brushes and only takes about 15 or 20 minutes to complete. Basically, it's a blowout that uses multiple boar-bristle brushes (like Velcro rollers) to create a full, luminous (and long-lasting) finish.

Personally, I think I'd be overwhelmed with so many brushes in my hair. And, if done incorrectly, the risk of breakage/damage could be costly. But then again, the same could be said for almost any salon service— it's all in the quality of stylist you choose.

Will you be seeking out this new service?

So what exactly is a Brazilian Blowout?

According to a lead stylist at the Andy LeCompte Salon, the Brazilian Blowout differs from Japanese straightening and other Brazilian straighteners because it doesn't completely straighten the hair. The hair still has plenty of volume and body and can still be worn curly or wavy. It just softens whatever curl or wave you have. If the hair is air-dried without a blow dryer, it will still have wave or curl but no frizz. On the flip side, if you want to blow dry your hair straight, you can do that, without a brush, in a fraction of the amount of time it would have taken without the Brazilian. Also, with other methods, there is a line of demarcation, meaning that when new hair grows in, it is curly/ wavy while the rest of the hair is straight. This blowout method washes away with time and is diffused, so there is no noticeable difference between new hair and treated hair. Other methods also have harsh chemicals in them like formaldehyde. The Brazilian Blowout does not have formaldehyde in it. And none of the chemicals in it are carcinogenic. It's also safe for all hair types, including fine, brittle, and damaged.

Treatments take 1 to 1 1/2 hours to complete, and start at $350. To find a salon near you that offers Brazilian Blowouts, click here.

Is big hair a sign of the times? Glamour magazine believes so, and I happen to agree.

Everywhere I turn recently, I'm hearing about the return of over-the-top coiffs. From brand publicists to industry insiders and celebrities, there's a major shift in focus. And it makes perfect sense. Gorgeous, voluminous locks are a great pick-me-up in a time of economic uncertainty.

Check out a few of my favorite root-lifters here, and be sure to brush up on Glamour's "Dos and Don'ts of Big Hair" to ensure you pump up the volume in style.
