Just  when you thought all ’80s fashion revivals had run their course, big hair is back.

Just look at Angelina Jolie on the cover of this month’s Vanity Fair and Sarah Jessica Parker in the “Sex and the City” movie poster to see that the chic set is turning up the volume.

The man who gives Jolie, Anne Hathaway and the Victoria’s Secret models their big, beautiful hair is celebrity stylist Ted Gibson. Here is his advice:

To get fullness, start at the root. First, cleanly divide your hair into five even sections (the hair can start wet or dry). Then apply a volumizing product to the scalp where each section is divided. Gibson favors his own product, called Build It. “It’s about building volume without the weight.”

Next, apply a light, controlling gel all over the hair. “Brushing the hair after applying these products will help distribute the product evenly.” Blow-dry the hair until it’s about 80 percent dry, and then finish by pulling the ends under using a round brush. “This helps get volume from the scalp.”

Once the hair is completely dry, it’s time for the hot rollers, which should be really hot. Wrap two-inch sections of hair around each roller. Leave the rollers in for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are completely cool. After taking the rollers out, the curls should be more like waves than ringlets. Then spritz a light hairspray all over the head.
