Adele‘s voice may be iconic, but Adele’s hair? Well, that started trending in its own right after the singer dropped the artwork for the cover of her album, 30. And while 25 was all about the liner with a zoomed-in shot of Adele’s eyes, 30 saw a side-profile of Adele headlined by the most phenomenal, swishy blow dry. Since then Adele’s hair game has been on point for every single appearance since and the blow dry has had a modern makeover with over 556 million views on TikTok. Her secret? Hairstylist Sami Knight, who also counts Dua Lipa, Sydney Sweeney, Lily Rose Depp and Rita Ora as clients. His secret?

“For me keeping the integrity and health of the hair is always priority number one. If your hair is in bad shape, it’s going to show. The more damaged it is, the more it has to be fixed with extensions, hair pieces, and clip-ins. Good strong hair is the best foundation. After that comes good styling prep. I almost always prepare hair with a volume mousse or spray and blow dry that in to give the hair some grit. This is especially important on extra silky hair to give some stickiness that makes the style hold all night.
