In the ever-evolving world of South Florida style, 2026 has ushered in a new era of sophistication. Move over, stiff pageant curls; the “Soft Power” Blowout has officially arrived at Blowtox PGA. This year, the trend is all about “main character energy” that feels fluid, expensive, and effortlessly chic.

What is the Soft Power Blowout?

Unlike the bouncy, highly structured looks of the past, the Soft Power style focuses on movement and health. It’s the “rich-girl-adjacent” aesthetic that looks like you just walked off a yacht in Jupiter or out of a high-stakes boardroom meeting on PGA Blvd.

Key features include:

• The Middle Part: Symmetric and sleek.
• Crown Volume: Height at the roots rather than volume at the sides.
• Polished Ends: Instead of tight ringlets, the ends are softly beveled for a “liquid hair” finish.

Why It’s the Perfect 2026 Look

With the rise of the “clean girl” aesthetic evolving into more “luxurious minimalism,” this blowout pairs perfectly with 2026’s fashion trends—think structured linens and bold, monochromatic sets. At Blowtox, we use specialized Kevin Murphy volumizers to ensure your hair has “memory” without the crunch.

Our stylists are trained in the specific round-brush techniques required to achieve this weightless finish. Whether you’re heading to a gala or just want to feel like the best version of yourself for a Tuesday lunch, the Soft Power Blowout is your 2026 secret weapon.

Hair in 2026 is all about intentional shine, effortless movement, and bespoke texture. Stylists and trend forecasters alike agree that the year is shaping up to be about healthy-looking hair that’s expressive, polished, and personal. 

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all beach waves — this year we’re seeing nuanced texture, rich hues, and cuts that move. Whether you’re into the polished blowout revival, lived-in layers, or bold sculptural styles, Kevin Murphy has the products and tools to make each trend effortless.

Trend 1 — Softlift Layers & Natural Texture

One of the first trends dominating 2026 is soft, natural texture paired with gentle layering. Stylists are designing haircuts that work with hair, not against it — soft face-framing pieces and airy, elevated movement that looks great air-dried or styled. 

Kevin Murphy Product Pick: BEDROOM.HAIR

This lightweight texturizer enhances natural waves and adds body without stiffness — ideal for air-dried texture that feels polished yet laid-back. Work a small amount through damp hair then let air do the rest. It’s perfect if you want movement without frizz.

Trend 2 — Quiet Luxury Blowouts

Yes — the blowout is back, but softer and more luxe than ever. Think rich volume, soft root lift, and sleek ends that feel salon-fresh from morning to night. 

Kevin Murphy Product Pick: SMOOTH.AGAIN

This anti-frizz blow-dry crème fights humidity, adds shine, and protects from heat. Follow with a round-brush blowout and finish with SESSION.SPRAY for hold that survives commute and cocktails alike.

Trend 3 — Strong Form Cuts: Bobs & Lobs

2026 is seeing a surge in sharper, intentional cuts. From the modern British bob to the classic long bob (lob), these shapes frame faces beautifully and highlight texture and color. 

Kevin Murphy Product Pick: PLUMPING.WASH & RINSE

Clean, lightweight support for fine hair that needs body and movement. When paired with a slight blowout and FRESH.HAIR at the roots, your bob will pop with dimension and presence.

Trend 4 — Espresso Brown & Dimensional Colour

While Kevin Murphy doesn’t offer hair dyes, the brand’s color-protecting regimen strongly complements 2026’s rich, low-maintenance colours like espresso brown and subtle root melts. 

Kevin Murphy Product Picks:

• HYDRATE-ME.WASH & RINSE — adds moisture and shine to colored hair without heaviness.
• ANGEL.WASH & RINSE — great for fine, color-treated hair needing softness and shimmer.

Mitigating dryness and keeping tones rich and glossy is key this year — and these formulas help protect pigment while strengthening hair.

Trend 5 — Sculptural Updos & Statement Styles

From power ponies to sculptural updos and sleek retro attitudes, 2026 hair often mixes statement shape with shine. 

Kevin Murphy Product Pick: EASY.RIDER or SESSION.SPRAY

Perfect for locks that must hold shape all day, from office to evening events. Easy Rider is strong without flakiness; Session Spray gives you that polished, enduring finish.

Pro Stylist Tips for 2026 Trends + KM Routine

✨ For texture lovers: Dampen hair, apply Bedroom.Hair, then diffuse or air-dry — you’ll get natural-looking wave with hold.

✨ For blowout revival: Protect with Smooth.Again, blow-dry with root lift, set with Session Spray.

✨ For vibrant color: Use hydrating wash & rinse formulas that support longevity and gloss.

Bottom Line — 2026 Is About Hair That Feels Alive

Hair Resort Spray — Beachy Waves Made Simple

One of Kevin Murphy’s most versatile products for texture is Hair Resort Spray. Designed to emulate that sea-salt, breezy feel, it works on damp or dry hair to reveal effortless wave and body. 

How to use:

• Spray into towel-dried hair.
• Scrunch sections with your fingers.
• Blow-dry with a diffuser or air-dry for natural movement.

Because it’s infused with nourishing extracts, Hair Resort doesn’t dry out strands like traditional salt sprays — texture without sacrifice. 

Doo Over — Texture + Light Hold

Want your waves to last past lunch into happy hour? Doo Over is a finishing spray that’s part dry shampoo, part texture-booster. It absorbs oil while creating separation and definition.

Pro tip: Use Doo Over mid-day to refresh your texture after straightening or curling. 

Fresh.Hair — The Everyday Bouncer

If your hair tends to fall flat, Fresh.Hair dry shampoo brings bounce with oil control built in. Great for second-day hair refresh, it adds body and lifts roots instantly.

Curly & Wavy Hair? Kevin Murphy Has You Covered

The 2026 trend cycle is elite natural texture — that means loosening frizz and refining curls, not masking them. Products like Killer Curls define and nourish natural curl patterns, keeping them soft and springy rather than frizzy and tangled. 

Killer Curls tip: Scrunch into damp hair and let air dry or diffuse on low heat to bring out your best coil.

Texture Trends to Know in 2026

Beach and surfer-inspired waves are making a major comeback. 

Natural curls, loose and defined, are taking center stage. 

Low-maintenance, lived-in looks are replacing overly styled hair. 

With these trends comes a need for products that do more than just hold hair in place — they should enhance quality and shine. Kevin Murphy fits the bill, delivering texture with a salon-grade feel.

Final Thoughts

This year is all about embracing the beauty of movement and individuality. Use Kevin Murphy’s texture-boosting heroes to craft looks that feel effortless, natural, and photogenic — from beach day to evening out.
