How to Get Big Hair Without Hairspray

Big hair is a must for beauty pageants, proms and special occasions. Big hair was very popular in the the past for celebrities like Farrah Fawcett and Priscilla Presley. Carmen Electra and other contemporary celebrities continue the big-hair tradition today. Big hair is sexy, feminine and red hot. With a few simple steps, you can get your own big-hair look without even using hairspray.

Things You'll Need

• Teasing comb
• Wide-tooth comb
• Volumizing shampoo
• Conditioner
• Mousse
• Hot rollers
• Hair dryer
• Towel
• Round brush

Instructions

1. Wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo. Focus on massaging and thoroughly cleaning your scalp with the shampoo. A clean scalp is crucial to bouncy, big hair.

2. Apply a small amount of conditioner to the ends of your hair. Conditioning the roots will make your hair limper.

3. Towel-dry your hair and squirt mousse in at the roots of and underneath your hair. Use a wide-tooth comb to comb through your hair.

4. Blow-dry your hair. Focus on lifting the hair up and out. Use a large, round brush to add volume. Then flip your head upside-down and blow-dry the roots. Blow sections in the opposite direction to add even more volume.

5. Use hot electric rollers to curl your hair. Remove them and let your hair cool.

6. Take a teasing comb and backcomb your hair in individual sections. Continue over the entire head.

7. Very lightly brush your hair or comb it to keep the volume full and big but even out the look of the hair.
