When your stylist texturizes your hair, she is cutting it so it has the appearance of more volume. This is a great option for anyone with thin, fine hair, and the approach works wonders for both straight or curly hair. Using scissors or a straight razor, the stylist removes hair in what looks like a jagged technique. Texturizing adds body to your hair and can make it easier to manage.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Volumizing shampoo
  • Volumizing conditioner
  • Hair dryer
  • Round or vent brush
  • Styling cream
  1. Step 1

    Use volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Volumizing shampoo and conditioner will add more lift to your hair. Find products that suit your budget; they do not have to be from the same line. Work shampoo into your roots only, and work the bulk of the conditioner into your ends. Rinse thoroughly and pat hair dry with a bath towel.

  2. Step 2

    Use a deep conditioner 1 to 2 times a week. Because the texturized haircut requires a specific technique to cut ends, keep your hair well moisturized and healthy. A regular conditioner can be used in conjunction with pinning hair up and wearing a shower cap for about 20 minutes, allowing the conditioner to saturate the hair, achieving the same effect as a deep conditioner.

  3. Step 3

    Pat hair dry with a bath towel. This will allow your texturized hair to dry smooth and will cut down on frizz. Wrapping your hair turban-style with a bath towel will extract water, but will still leave the hair cuticle smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Do not excessively brush hair. You don't want to brush too often, as it can lead to breakage, which counteracts the texturizing. A brush with natural bristles will give your hair the most voluminous look. When you're done washing your hair, towel it dry, and allow hair to air dry at least halfway before you blow it dry. Section hair off, and move swiftly with a round brush, which will also enhance volume.

  5. Step 5

    Use a styling cream. Texturized hair looks great with that bedhead hair that so many celebrities enjoy. Use a styling cream to separate your hair into messy waves. The process will take little effort. This works for both clean hair and day-after hair (meaning the day after you wash), making texturized hair a good idea for someone who has little time to devote to her beauty routine.
