Add volume to your hair with these simple steps. No more flat, boring hair!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • comb
  • hairspray
  • brush
  1. Step 1

    Take a wide but thin section of hair from the crown of your head and hold it straight up in the air.

  2. Step 2

    With your comb, back comb the section of hair downwards toward the root of you hair untill you have a ratty-like clump of hair (sounds bad, I know but trust me here).

  3. Step 3

    Spray the underside with hairspray at the roots.

  4. Step 4

    Section another piece of hair the same way, right below the first and repeat the steps. Continue to do this until aobut one thirs of the way down your head on all sides.

  5. Step 5

    Once the hairspray has dried, take your brush and gently drag it along the top of you head (hair) to smooth out the top visible layers of hair. Style as you wish and now you have volume to work with!

Tips & Warnings
  • This method may take a while to brush out.
  • Be gentle brushing it out and work in small sections as to not break the hair while brusing out the knots.
