How to Add Lots Of Volume To Your Hair

Boost volume for any length hair.

Hair with lots of volume is a trend even for those with straight hair. If volume doesn't come naturally to your locks, you'll find plenty of tools and products to help you out. As long as you've got the time, you can pump up the volume and keep it there.

Things You'll Need

• Volumizing spray
• Hair dryer
• Hot rollers
• Paddle hair brush
• Hairspray

Instructions

1. After you have washed your hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner, apply a volumizing spray to your roots.

2. Dry your hair with a hair dryer either with your head upside down or lifting your roots upward with your fingers as you dry.

3. Divide your hair into 2-inch sections. Set each section in large hot rollers as close to the roots as possible. Take the hot rollers out of your hair after five to 10 minutes.

4. Let hair cool slightly. Then flip your head upside down, and break apart the curls using your fingers.

5. Raise your head back up, and tease the roots of your hair with a paddle brush. Go ahead an tease it well. Your hair may look a little wild but will calm down after a few minutes.

6. Smooth out flyaways and the top layer of your hair. Then spray it with hairspray. For a more touchable hair style, use a flexible hold hairspray.

Tips & Warnings

• If you find that your hair has too much volume now, just use the paddle brush to flatten it out a little more.
