If your hair is limp, flat, and clinging to your scalp it’s time to learn some tricks to give your mane some much-needed volume. For those with sleek, straight strands, volume can be hard to achieve, but today we are spilling some secrets to help you conquer this challenge and achieve bouncy, voluminous hair.
Why Does My Hair Lack Volume?
Common causes for lack of volume are having naturally fine hair and product buildup weighing your hair down. Your leave-in or styling products could be weighing your strands down as well, or perhaps you’ve trained your hair to lie flat by styling it the same way every day. No matter the cause, there is an easy trick to fix it.
Remove Buildup
You’ll never create volume if your hair is being weighed down by buildup. To remove the product and oily buildup, scrub well with a clarifying shampoo like pH+ Clarifying Shampoo and use it once a week to keep buildup at bay. For shampooing on other days, be sure to use volumizing products like Repower Volume Shampoo and Volume Foam Conditioner to add more body.
Change Up Your Style
When you wear your hair the same every day your hair gets accustomed to laying that way. If you change your part or flip it to the opposite side it will lift your roots for more volume. You can give your hair more substance by applying R+Co Dallas Thickening Spray to towel-dried hair. It will give your blowout mega volume. Some retro styling tools can be helpful as well. Rollers can be used to give roots even more lift, and you can boost the volume of any style with a simple Teasing Comb, a bit of gentle backcombing, and a spritz of Voluxious Volumizing Hair Spray.
