Tricks & Tips for Adding Volume to Your Hair

If you’re like most women, you probably want thicker, fuller hair. Unfortunately, not everyone is born with thick hair. That doesn’t mean that you can’t achieve the look you desire. The good news is that there are plenty of ways to add volume to your hair without resorting to costly treatments or expensive products. Here are some tricks and tips for adding volume to your hair.

Use a Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner

Usually, volumizing shampoo and conditioner are specifically designed to add fullness, body, and bounce to hair. Look for ones that contain ingredients such as panthenol, hydrolyzed wheat proteins, and natural oils. Panthenol helps to thicken and add shine, while hydrolyzed wheat proteins strengthen the strands. Natural oils, like jojoba oil, help to nourish and protect hair from damage.

To get started, use the volumizing shampoo and conditioner as directed. Typically, you’ll need to massage the product into your scalp and leave it in for a few minutes before rinsing it out with warm water. Next, apply a generous amount of the conditioner, working it through your strands from roots to ends. After rinsing out with cool water, you’ll notice an immediate difference in volume and body.

Blow Dry Your Roots With a Round Brush

Sometimes, a bit of extra styling is needed to add volume to hair. To get this result, you’ll need to use a round brush and blow dryer. Start by separating your hair into sections, using clips to hold them in place. Take one section at a time and lightly spritz with heat protectant spray before rolling the round brush

Using a round brush, lift up sections of your hair at the roots as you dry it. This can help to strengthen the hair shaft and add lift. That means that your hair will look and feel thicker.

Try a Root-lifting Spray

Root-lifting sprays are designed to give your roots an extra lift, making them appear fuller. It’s an easy way to add volume without having to use a blow dryer. To start, separate your hair into sections and apply the spray directly onto your roots. Once you’ve finished applying the product, take a comb and gently lift up each section at the roots. To finish, lightly mist the entire head with a light-hold hairspray.

Tease Your Hair

Another trick for adding volume to your hair is teasing it at the roots. To do this, backcomb each section of your hair using a fine-tooth comb or brush. Start by lifting up a vertical section of your hair at the root and gently backcomb it. Repeat this process until you’ve achieved your desired level of volume. This technique is a great way to add body and texture without using any heat-styling tools.

Try Rollers

Using rollers is another great way to add volume and body to your hair. Choose ones that are made for adding volume, such as hot rollers or foam rollers. Start by separating the sections of hair and clip in the roller. Once you’ve finished rolling all of your hair, let it sit until it’s completely cool. Then, remove the rollers and brush through your hair to create a full, voluminous look.

Add Extensions

Finally, if you’re looking for a longer-term solution, consider adding hair extensions. Extensions are a great way to add thickness and length without damaging your natural hair. The first step is to consult with a stylist who is experienced in extensions. They can help you decide on the best type of hair extensions for your desired look and recommend how to properly care for them. Next, they’ll professionally attach the extensions to your natural hair. The result is a fuller, longer look that you can enjoy for months.

Use Finishing Products

To finish off your volumized style, use finishing products such as mousse, hairspray, and texturizing spray. Mousse helps to add body and bounce without weighing down the hair. Hairspray is used to secure the hairstyle in place and provide a long-lasting hold. Texturizing sprays are great for adding grip and texture to hair, which can also help to add volume.

Use Hair Toppers

Do hair toppers damage your hair? Unfortunately, many people think that adding hair toppers will damage their natural hair, however, this is not true. Hair toppers are a great way to add volume and fullness without causing any harm. They come in various sizes and can easily be clipped into your hair for a natural-looking boost of volume. You can easily style them just like you would your natural hair to get the look you want.

Bottom Line

Adding volume to your hair doesn’t have to be a difficult task. With these tricks and tips, you can easily create voluminous, bouncy hair without damaging it. Whether you choose to use rollers, root-lifting sprays, or extensions, you’ll be sure to get the look you desire. Don’t forget to complete your hairstyle with finishing products to help keep your hair looking full all day long.
