Step 1
Wash the hair with shampoo and conditioner that are specifically made to add volume.
-
Step 2
Start with curlers if you have naturally straight or lightly wavy hair. A curling iron adds waves but will not make the hair curly. The curlers should be put into wet hair. Once the hair is set in curlers, spray the hair lightly with hairspray or spray gel. Don't spray enough to make the hair stiff, which can weigh it down, but just enough so that the curls will last.
-
Step 3
Let the hair out of the curlers once it has dried. The curls will look a little unnatural at first, so they should be brushed slightly for a more natural look and more volume. Brush the curls upward to gain more volume. Brushing them downward will make the hair limper. Use a brush with widely set bristles or use a wide-tooth comb or pick.
-
Step 4
Use a blow dryer on hair that is already curly to give it more volume. To do this, hold sections of the hair up and point the dryer upward. This will set the roots in a higher position, keeping the hair higher and making it look fuller.

Step 5
Try a volumizing product. There are various gels and hair tonics on the market that are made to give hair more volume. Try putting one of them onto the hair while styling it for a volume boost.
