Is your hair looking a bit flat? This can be an issue, especially in the dry winter air. Don't worry, there are great products and styling tools designed especially to add volume and bounce back to flat hair. Here are the easy steps for adding volume to your hair!
It is best not to wash your hair the day you're going to be styling. Hair that has not been washed for a few days tends to have more hair volume. If you must wash your hair that day, use a shampoo and conditioner designed to add volume.
Apply a volumizing mousse or root spray to damp hair. Work the hair product through the hair thoroughly with your wide toothed-comb.
Flip your head upside down and blow dry your hair on a medium setting. Massage your scalp with your fingers while drying your hair to give extra lift at the roots. If you have curly hair, scrunch the hair in your hands while aiming the nozzle at the section of hair you're scrunching.
Flip your head right side up again while your hair is still slightly damp if you plan on wearing your hair straight, and finish drying using a large vent brush or round brush to continue with the styling process.
Use your brush to lift the first one to two inches of your hair straight up away from your scalp. Point the nozzle of the dryer under the section directed upwards for more hair volume at the roots of your hair. Leave the dryer there for a few seconds and then move on to the next section using the same technique with the dryer. Use the brush to smooth the shaft and ends of your hair and finish drying your hair completely.
If you are wearing your hair curly, scrunch the hair and leave it slightly damp. Let your hair air dry the rest of the way to avoid frizz. Use a dime to quarter-sized dollop of pomade or styling wax to tame any frizz. This will also define the ends of the hair or any layers you may have if you apply it there with your fingers.
For a final burst of hair volume, flip your head upside down again and lightly mist your hair with a light-hold hair spray. Bring your head right side up again and use your fingers to fix any stray hairs.
Wow! Now your hair is out to there! Speak with your stylist about how to perfect your technique, and you can also ask them which volume products they would suggest for your particular hair type and length.
