Oh how it must feel to adorn a thick mane of hair that looks lush and glossy from top to bottom and reaches below your shoulder without losing its thickness! Having such gorgeous tresses is what all our dreams are made of. But you can make this your reality because we are here with a brand new guide on how to get volume in your hair and woo the world with your locks!
Understanding Fine Hair:
Before we dive deep into some of the easiest tips and tricks on how to get natural volume in hair, let us first understand the difference between fine and thin hair, shall we? The simplest way to explain this would be this: the fineness of your hair can be measured with the help of the diameter of your hair, whereas the overall thickness of your tresses defines how thin your hair is. The reasons may differ as to why your hair is fine-it could be genetics, your diet, how well you take care of your hair, and what kind of products you use to keep them healthy.
Now that we have established the difference between fine and thin hair, let us ponder over the steps on how to add volume to hair, shall we?
1. Choosing the Right Products
One of the most important steps one should take to add volume to the hair is to opt for products that are right for your hair. Always opt for shampoos, conditioners, and hair serums for women that volumize your hair and make it look fluffy. There are also hair sprays that do that to your hair without making it look rough or greasy. Wondering how to apply hair serum? Simply take a small amount and apply the serum throughout your lengths, focusing on the ends.
1. Choosing the Right Products
One of the biggest mistakes people make is using extremely heavy and creamy conditioners that make the hair greasy and sticky. This robs the natural volume of the hair and makes it flat. What one should do is use lightweight conditioners for maintaining the volume and use an ultra-light hair serum to keep the hair supple and fluffy, and for styling your locks.
Styling Techniques for Volume
Now that we know what kind of products one should use, let us understand some techniques that can help create volume in our hair while styling it regularly.
1. Blow-Drying for Lift
If you are someone who is used to blow drying your hair, instead of drying it the usual way, switch the pattern and do it upside down and reduce the temperature of the air. This immediately helps add great volume to your hair, and the roots also dry up quickly. Apply a heat protection serum, such as the Livon Style Pro Keratin Serum, before you blow-dry your hair.
2. Teasing or Backcombing
Teasing or backcombing is the simplest hair styling hack to add volume to your hair. What it essentially means is taking portions of your hair and combing them backwards so as to separate your hair and add thickness to them. You can also change the parting of your hair from left to right or from centre to side and vice versa because that will give your hair some texture. If you have spiky straight hair, apply a serum for straight hair after backcombing to ensure your hair retains its texture and shine.
3. Layered Haircuts
Sometimes, all we need is a spunky and cool haircut with either layers, steps, or bangs so that the haircut can add bounce to our hair and get rid of the thinning portion from the bottom, to give it a rounded and thick look. These hairstyles also add movement to our hair, which sort of makes it look thick and complements our face well. So getting in touch with a good hairstylist who understands your requirements is key.
Now that you have gone through these easy hair styling tips and tricks on how to volumnise your hair, say goodbye to flat hair and say hello to your magnificently thick and glorious mane!
