Easy ways to add volume to fine hair
Share
While fine hair is easy to maintain, it can be hard to prevent it from looking flat and lacklustre. If you’re looking at ways to transform your hair and give it a new lease of life, we’ve got you covered.
In this article, we’ll be discussing how best to add volume to fine hair using specialist products and styling techniques.
Volumizing shampoo and conditioner
Firstly, we recommend overhauling your shampoo and conditioner routine to give your hair a fresh start. You can purchase volumizing products that help to lift your hair, making it look fuller and thicker.
Your hair will look instantly stronger, providing the perfect base for new styles. Repeated use of specialist shampoo and conditioner will result in a healthier-looking appearance.
Try not to use conditioner directly on your roots. This can weigh the hair down, resulting in a flatter appearance. Conditioner should only be applied to the lengths of the hair to keep it looking shiny and moisturised.
Tease your roots
If you’re trying to achieve everyday volume, consider teasing your roots for a plumper look. You can do this by splitting your hair into sections, then using a comb to gently ‘push’ the hair from the middle section further up towards the root.
You don’t need to go overboard as you’ll want to create natural-looking volume that appears effortless. Too much teasing may result in tangles, so be sure to go slow and repeat several times on each section until you’ve reached your desired volume.
Hair thickening spray
Often used to conceal hair loss, hair thickening spray can give the appearance of fuller hair in just a few simple sprays. The solution is designed to disguise areas of thinning hair, including areas of root regrowth.
Regardless of your hair type, style, or colour, thickening spray is easy to apply and can be implemented seamlessly into your usual routine.
Blow dry hair upside down
If you’re in a rush and don’t have time to tease your roots, try blow-drying your hair upside down after brushing. By drying your hair away from your scalp, you can instantly add volume and bounce without the fuss.
To achieve a smooth finish, blow your hair upside down during the initial ‘rough’ dry while it’s still damp, before styling as usual. Don’t forget to always use a heat-protectant spray and use a low heat to avoid scorching and damaging the hair.
Massage your scalp
Good circulation can encourage healthy hair follicles, resulting in faster growth. Massaging your scalp regularly can increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and improve mood.
To prevent your hair from looking greasy after a scalp massage, try doing it before you wash your hair. That way, you’re allowing some time for yourself to relax while boosting the health of your hair, too.
