Have you ever dreamed of that magical Hollywood hair with tons of volume? We’ve all been there—you’ve washed and styled your hair, but despite all your efforts, it looks flat before you even leave the house. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! In this article, we’ll talk about how you can add volume to your hair in a simple and long-lasting way. Spoiler alert: There are no magic tricks, but we have a few tips that work every time.
Why can't I get any volume in my hair?
Do you feel like no matter what you do, you just can't seem to get that much-desired volume? There could be several reasons for this:
- Hair type: Fine, thin hair often struggles to maintain volume because it doesn't have the same structure as thicker hair.
- Humidity: Humidity can make your hair flat and frizzy, which ruins the volume.
- The wrong products: Using products that are too heavy can weigh your hair down even more.
But don't worry—there's hope! With the right techniques and products, even the flattest hair can be transformed into a voluminous masterpiece.
How do I add volume to my hair? A step-by-step guide
1. Choose the right shampoo and conditioner
The first step to creating volume starts in the shower. A good shampoo and conditioner are essential, but for extra volume, we recommend mixing in VOLUME INFUSION into your hair care routine. It’s a concentrated infusion that you simply mix with your shampoo or conditioner to boost volume. It’s enriched with provitamin B5 and provides instant fullness without weighing your hair down.
Use a shampoo and conditioner like ours Caring Shampoo and Caring Conditioner to create a good base, and then enhance the effect with Volume Infusion. Just mix two parts shampoo or conditioner with one part infusion in your hand, apply as usual, and rinse out. You’ll notice the difference right away!
2. Dry your hair upside down
When drying your hair, try doing it upside down. It might sound a little strange, but gravity actually helps create more volume at the roots. Use a hair dryer on a low heat setting and keep your head down while massaging your scalp with your fingers. For an extra volume boost, spray on a little Volumizing Dry Shampoo Blonde at the roots before blow-drying your hair.
3. Use a round brush and a hair dryer
Once your hair is almost dry, grab your round brush. Divide your hair into sections and start blow-drying from the roots, lifting the hair upward with the brush. This will help create extra volume and lift at the roots. Don’t forget to use a heat protectant, such as Nourishing Heat Protection, to protect your hair from heat damage when using hot tools.
4. Dry shampoo is your best friend
We can’t talk about volume without mentioning dry shampoo. If you want that “freshly washed” feeling and lift without actually washing your hair, dry shampoo is worth its weight in gold. Spray the dry shampoo onto your roots and massage it in with your fingers for an instant volume boost. Our Invisible Dry Shampoo is perfect for all hair colors and leaves no visible residue.
5. Finish with a texturizing spray
To keep your hair voluminous all day (and all night, if you’re in the mood!), spray a little texturizing spray on your hair to set it. Texturizing spray helps create a tousled, voluminous look and keeps your curls in place. Try our Texture Spray for a messier, more relaxed result.
Common mistakes when trying to add volume to your hair
It's easy to make mistakes when trying to add volume to your hair. Here are a few things you might be doing wrong—without even realizing it!
- Using too much product: Less is more! If you use too much product, it can weigh your hair down.
- Don't forget your scalp: Volume starts at the roots, so be sure to massage and lift at the scalp when styling.
- Skipping heat protection: Heat protection is a must when using heat styling tools; otherwise, you risk damaging your hair, which can make it difficult to maintain volume.
