Volume and body in the hair makes it appear thicker and fuller, and thus healthier. Maybe you want to really amp up the volume of your hair for a Halloween costume or an '80s party, or maybe your hair just needs an extra lift. There are a wide variety of tools that you can use to add fullness to your hair.
Instructions
1. Get a layered hair cut. This adds texture and depth to the hair. The shorter strands on top are lighter so they won't fall so flat onto the scalp.
2. Wash your hair with volumizing or clarifying shampoo and conditioner. Either version of these products help add volume by eliminating some of the residue left by most shampoos that weigh hair down. You can also try adding a teaspoon of baking soda to any shampoo to wash away excess residue and buildup.
3. Run a comb through your hair to get out knots and tangles. Flip your head upside down and comb gel or mousse (mousse is preferable for curly hair) through your hair. Blow dry your hair upside down. This will dry the roots away from your scalp so your hair doesn't fall flat. If you're satisfied with the hair, apply hair spray to hold it in place.
4. Use large rollers or another heated hair-styling device (either a large-barrel curling iron or straightener) to make the roots of the hair stand further away from the scalp. Experiment to determine what device works the best for you, depending on hair texture and length. Apply hair spray to hold hair in place.
