When you\u2019re as booked and busy as Nikki Glaser \u2014 Emmy, Grammy, and Golden Globe-nominated stand-up comedian, Golden Globes host, podcast queen, and sold-out touring headliner \u2014 every second counts. Whether she\u2019s working out new material backstage or hitting the road on her Alive & Unwell<\/em> national tour, one thing\u2019s for sure: Glaser is going to show up with sharp wit, undeniable presence, and great hair.<\/p>\n

That last part, as it turns out, is no coincidence. Enter: the AirLight Pro by L\u2019Or\u00e9al Professionnel<\/a>. Equal parts science and style, this multi-award-winning, infrared-powered hair dryer has become Glaser\u2019s must-have beauty tool<\/a> \u2014 not only for its elite-level performance but for the way it seamlessly fits into her unconventional and fast-paced life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a blow dryer connoisseur because I travel on the road and I have blonde hair that does not air dry well,\u201d she explains to GRAZIA USA<\/em> in an exclusive interview. \u201cI’ve rarely ever found one that really feels like, \u2018Oh, this is one that I can keep forever.\u2019 \u2026 This one, it’s just next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Natural Partnership: Where Beauty Meets Brilliance<\/h3>\n

The collaboration between Glaser and L\u2019Or\u00e9al Professionnel was never about slapping a celebrity face on a product. It\u2019s a natural alignment rooted in innovation, integrity, and a shared refusal to play by outdated rules. \u201cComedy is all about timing, and so is great hair,\u201d she shared in the partnership\u2019s official press release. \u201cI\u2019m always on the go, and AirLight Pro lets me get that perfect look for on and off-camera performances quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AirLight Pro is L\u2019Or\u00e9al Professionnel\u2019s first professional hair dryer powered by infrared light. It dries hair up to 14% faster, uses 11% less energy, and helps lock in hydration to prevent heat damage. For someone like Glaser, who often gets ready solo before stepping on stage, the tool has been a game-changer. \u201cIt\u2019s quieter than most ones, and I can still listen to music. I can think about my jokes because I\u2019m usually blow-drying my hair right before a show,\u201d she says. \u201cIt just feels so elite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Glaser Swears by the AirLight Pro<\/h3>\n

For a woman who used to panic-shop for whatever dryer was available at Target, Glaser has now discovered her gold standard. \u201cIt travels really well because it is so durable. I mean, it’s lightweight, but you can just feel it’s really made well,\u201d she says, noting the attention to detail, especially in the concentrator nozzle. \u201cThe little nozzle part \u2014 that is essential for me \u2014 magnetizes on in such a way that it\u2019s not flying off or getting lost in my luggage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The advanced tech in the AirLight Pro hasn\u2019t just impressed her \u2014 it\u2019s elevated her beauty routine in ways she didn\u2019t expect. \u201cSometimes you use a piece of technology and you’re like, whoa, this is from The Jetsons,<\/em> and that’s how it feels,\u201d she shares. \u201cIt’s like you’re driving an electric car\u2026 It just feels like that next level of technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tour-Tested Beauty Hacks That Actually Work<\/h3>\n

While the AirLight Pro is her backstage beauty hero, Glaser also shared a few of her essential tour survival tips \u2014 many of which revolve around getting quality rest. \u201cI am obsessed with eye masks\u2026 If I don’t have one, I’ll wrap a T-shirt around my head,\u201d she says, pointing out that light is just as disruptive as noise when you\u2019re trying to sleep. She also swears by brown noise (via YouTube), melatonin, and her Flawless Face Pillow<\/a> (of which she notes you can find \u201cknock-offs on Amazon that are just as good\u201d). \u201cMine is stained from bronzer\u2026 But it’s an essential part of my beauty regimen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another current favorite in her beauty routine? Minoxidil for her hair. \u201cI thought it was just a pill that guys take for hair loss, but I heard a woman talking about it at my salon when she was getting her hair washed in the sink next to me,\u201d Glaser admits. \u201cI got mine from the company Hers<\/a>, and my eyelashes are growing like crazy\u2026 I don\u2019t need to use a serum anymore, which is good because that was causing me dry eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

Embracing Imperfections in the Spotlight<\/h3>\n

Despite her rise to global fame<\/a>, Glaser is refreshingly grounded \u2014 and that\u2019s intentional. She\u2019s chosen to disconnect from the part of fame that weighs heavily on many women in the public eye. \u201cI don\u2019t look at the likes. I don\u2019t look at the comments,\u201d she says, adding that she\u2019s been \u201csober\u201d from reading online feedback since 2018. \u201cI post something, I heart some stuff if I see it, but I will never go digging for comments\u2026 I don\u2019t really want feedback on my looks, and that\u2019s protected me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also isn\u2019t caught up in the perks of celebrity. In fact, one of the most surprising things Glaser has learned about herself this year is that fame hasn\u2019t changed her at all. \u201cAlthough it\u2019s been a year where [fame] has happened to me\u2026 it hasn\u2019t changed me,\u201d she reflects. \u201cI don\u2019t feel like a famous person, even with the little amount of fame I have.\u201d Her boyfriend often tells people how little she cares about being seen or rubbing elbows with other stars, something Glaser takes pride in. \u201cI\u2019m not capitalizing on it in a way that I\u2019m grateful for because\u2026 I would have expected me to be more gross about it, but I\u2019m happy to hear feedback from my friends and family that I have not changed. I feel like the same person.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s off duty, she embraces looking unglamorous \u2014 and even prefers it. \u201cI like being incognito and not looking hot sometimes because you can just fade away and kind of people watch. You can see how the guys check out girls and how they react around hot girls when you’re just blending into the furniture around you,\u201d she laughs. \u201cYou feel like you have an invisibility cloak on.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of her favorite low-key disguise hacks? \u201cA baseball cap changes everything,\u201d she tells us. \u201cA baseball cap\u2026 Sunglasses\u2026 Airpods\u2026 That’s like my isolation tank when I\u2019m out in public. It\u2019s so fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Redefining Sexy \u2014 and Success<\/h3>\n

Glaser\u2019s journey with confidence and style has evolved. She\u2019s learned that she can still be taken seriously on stage while embracing her femininity. \u201cI used to really hate my legs because they were muscular\u2026 Then one day, someone was like, \u2018You\u2019ve got great legs,\u2019\u201d she recalls. \u201cAnd I just started embracing showing off my legs more and more, especially on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

That shift in mindset also helped her embrace dressing sexy without sacrificing her voice as a comedian. \u201cI can still be a cool comedian with stuff to say and to be taken seriously and also sexy,\u201d she says. \u201cThat was hard to balance for me for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nikki\u2019s Final Word? Be the Pop Star of Your Own Life<\/h3>\n

Glaser leaves us with a reminder to find joy in self-expression \u2014 even if you\u2019re not living out your childhood dream in the way you imagined. \u201cI always wanted to be a pop star, and I\u2019m not going to be a pop star, but it doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t dress like one,\u201d she says. \u201cIf you can\u2019t be the full thing, dress the part and work it into whatever job you do. So you are an accountant, dress like a pop star as an accountant. Who cares? Find ways to make those lofty dreams come true in whatever way you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether she\u2019s delivering punchlines in stilettos or blow-drying her hair with cutting-edge tech, Nikki Glaser is redefining success on her own terms. With the AirLight Pro by her side \u2014 and in her suitcase on tour \u2014 she\u2019s living proof that you can be funny, fashionable, and fierce all at once. And we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42686,"featured_media":102400,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[30,23,16],"yoast_head":"\nNikki Glaser x
