As the echoes of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Singapore still linger, the excitement among fans remains. But why stop at just reliving the magic of her iconic songs? Let’s dive deeper into each era, recreating Taylor’s signature hairstyles with the help of Dyson’s Hair Care range.
Prepare to elevate your Raya look with a step-by-step guide curated by Professional Stylist Issac Ng, to help you embody Taylor’s timeless hairstyles.
1. Taylor Swift
Any OG Swiftie will remember the days of the singer’s signature long ringlets. To recreate Taylor’s classic curls in a low ponytail, arm yourself with the Dyson AirwrapTM Multi-Styler. Begin with clean, dry hair, using the Round Volumising Brush attachment to build volume around the crown area. Then, with the 20mm barrel attachment, divide your hair into manageable sections and curl the tresses around the barrel for voluminous curls. To set the curl in place, use the Cold Shot for approximately 5 seconds. Complete the look with a low ponytail securing at the nape of your neck and using the Coanda Smoothing Dryer attachment to tame flyaways around the crown area.
2. Fearless
Transport yourself into the pages of a ‘Love Story’ as you recreate Taylor’s soft romantic updo. Start with clean, dry hair, using the Dyson AirwrapTM Multi-Styler to create soft curls. Swap the barrel for the Round Volumising Brush attachment to add volume around the crown area. Sweep your hair back into a loose ponytail, leaving out some face-framing strands for a soft, romantic look. Twist the ponytail into a soft bun, using bobby pins for secure hold. Use the 30mm barrel attachment to add cascading curls, framing your features with elegance. For a more voluminous look, switch to bi-directional barrels to create curls in different directions. Seal the look with a light mist of flexible-hold hairspray or finishing spray to ensure the style stays in place while maintaining its soft, natural flow.
3. Speak Now
Transitioning into Speak Now era elegance, opt for structured hairstyles and larger, bouncier curls. Begin with the Round Volumising Brush attachment for volume around the crown area, then change to the 40mm barrel attachment for loose, bouncy curls. Secure your hair into a ponytail, leaving out a few curls to frame the face and tame any flyaways or frizz with the Coanda Smoothing Dryer. A light mist of hairspray will keep your style intact while maintaining its natural movement.
4. Red
During this era, Taylor Swift bids adieu to her signature curls, embracing voluminous tousled waves—a shift that naturally calls for the Dyson CorraleTM Straightener. Begin by sectioning your clean, dry hair into manageable sections using Dyson Hair Clips, expertly designed for a secure yet gentle hold on both hair and scalp. Glide the straightener down to each of your hair sections, from the roots to the tips, ensuring even heat distribution for a sleek result. Flick the ends outward slightly for a layered effect. Use the Dyson SupersonicTM Hair Dryer with Gentle Air to boost root volume by flipping your head down and blow dry your hair in sections, focusing on the roots. This will add dimension to your layered hairstyle. Finish with hairspray for sleek, straight locks with a touch of volume.
5. 1989
This era sees Taylor embracing shorter hairstyles—a lob with gentle waves and iconic side bang—symbolising her transition to pop music and a new career chapter. To create this look, apply a smoothing serum or cream to damp hair and add shine. Use the Dyson AirstraitTM Straightener to effortlessly dry and straighten your hair. Part your hair to the side, allowing a section of hair to fall across your forehead as side bangs. With the Dyson CorraleTM Straightener, straighten the bangs and gently curve to the side for a soft, face-framing effect. Finally, set the look with hairspray to keep everything in place for a longer period.
