Mensah agrees, adding that in her salon they do a lot of roller sets and other heat-free styling methods on curly and textured hair. “Hair can be set on rollers and then clients sit under a hood dryer, which is a good way to not have air transmitted around. There are also several ways to create a blow dried-look without using heat, like twist outs or braid outs. We’ll do them in salon and clients can sleep in them, then in the morning they’ll turn into beautiful, formed curls.”

“Or if somebody wants a smooth, straight style it might be a case of wrapping hair using a paddle brush and a smoothing brush in a circular motion, almost like we’re creating a beehive, and then placing a silk scarf on top and letting it dry,” she adds.

While not being able to get a traditional blow dry is yet another thing the majority of us probably hadn’t even considered, it’s by no means the end of the world – and if nothing else at least when we can leave salons with swishy hair straight from an advert, it’ll feel a million times better than ever before. That we can promise.

When hairdressers reopen could blow dries be a thing of the past?
