8 Simple ways on how to make your hair look fuller and thicker

Some women are lovers of big, fluffy hair. They may be fortunate to have hair that is naturally full of volume. You may also have witnessed red carpet events where big-haired beauties graced the events. If you, however, are one of the women who have thin hair and yearn to add extra volume, there are ways you can do it. Below are some tips to achieve the mega volume look.

Hair extensions:

They say fake it till you make it. But with hair, you just have to fake it and continue doing so. Hair extensions and weaves come in varying qualities and prices. Get what suits your pocket and achieve a temporary voluminous look. Ensure what you get matches with your hair and you have an instant glamorous and voluminous look.

Layering:

Get a professional hairdresser to cut your hair so that it is layered. When your hair is one length, it looks beautiful; layering, however, gives it drama and volume.

Use rollers:

Using rollers to set your hair lifts hair from the roots and adds volume. Setting with rollers, even if not for curls, boosts the body of your hair. The hair should be dry when you put the rollers. Use medium size or large rollers from the ends to the roots. Remove the rollers, loosen your hair then rock your mega volume hair.

Holding spray:

 Once you have set your hair and it has the volume you desire, give it lasting power by using styling products like holding spray. Hair spray keeps the hair intact and in place. Ensure the spray is alcohol-free so that it does not dry out your hair. Hold the spray six inches away from your hair and gently spray. Do not apply too much spray as this might be counter-productive since it flattens your hair instead.

Blow dry:

 Know how to blow dry professionally. You can do this by blow drying your hair in sections. Lift the sections upwards while directing the hot air at your scalp. Flipping your head upside down when blow drying results in your hair getting bigger outwards instead of upwards; so avoid it.

Right products:

Not any hair product will help you add volume to your hair. Some products have the tendency of weighing down your hair and flattening it. Use products like volumising shampoos and conditioners; these are designed to make your hair bigger and better.

Avoid parting:

 Do not part your hair as this tends to flatten your hair faster. You should, instead, brush your hair back. If you must part your hair, you could flip it to one side to boost the volume.

Dry shampoo:

Apply dry shampoo at the roots of your hair, not at the top, for extra volume.
