More Volume
No matter how much styling or product I put into it, or how long I spend blow drying, it will inevitably fall flat and look limp.
How many times have you heard this line in your mind???
But you are not alone in your hair woes. Over 70% of women fall into the fine – hair camp and, not surprisingly, “more body” sits at the top of their beauty wish list. So, in endeavour to boost your hair I could give you some tips.
First of all, good cut is essential. Don’t forget everyone has different hair structure and thickness. Growing your hair too long, missing trims and one length styles can weight it down. Soft layers will add texture and make it easier to boost volume. Body-building shampoo and conditioner should be bathroom staples.

Don’t skip conditioner because you think it weights your hair down, just don’t apply it at your roots. After shampooing I use a leave-in thickening treatmen, try Trevor Sorbie- Beautyful Volume, it adds volume by coating the hair, giving an illusion that it is thicker than it is without making it lank. But the biggest difference has come from tipping my head forwards while blow-drying. Do this until it’s almost dry (especially the roots), then continue blow-drying as normal. To finish, use styling product:
L’Oreal Elnett medium hold hairspray.
To keep better volume you can apply the hair spray, section by section closer to the roots. It is perfect and you have volume all day!
Aveda Pro Stylist Tips: Everyday Volume for Fine Hair
Just a few words about this video clip:
There is a product Aveda uses – “Brilliant damage control”, but as a professional I would recommend to use it as little as possible or not at all if your hair is really fine. From my experience I find that this product might be too heavy for really fine hair.
Volumizing tonic – this product is proven many times as a great product for adding volume to any type of the hair. I love it, and my clients love it.
Aveda pure potion – by using this product you definitely will give you more volume and it will stay longer. But I find it difficult to apply on your hair and use it at home and after few hours you may start feeling the product which personally for me – is irritating. If your hair colour is dark, than you have to remember that the powder is white and you will have to massage it into the scalp till it is unnoticeable.
To finish I would advise to use L’Oreal Elnett hairspray normal hold or stronger. It keeps the hair flexible, which gives you natural looks. Oh, by the way – there is a small package you can always keep close to you in your bag.
That’s it, just give a try
