Hair SOS: 10 Simple Secrets to Boosting Hair Volume

DITCH THE FLAT HAIR FUSTRATION: UNLEASH YOUR HAIR'S NATURAL BOUCE!


Dreaming of bouncy, voluminous hair like the ones you see on celebrities and influencers? You're not alone! While their picture-perfect styles might seem effortless, the truth is, even hair icons face flat hair struggles. But don't despair! We've got a treasure trove of professional tips and tricks to help you achieve voluminous, bouncy hair that will put a smile on your face! This guide will teach you exactly how to add volume to flat hair and transform your look.


Voluminous Hair Starts in the Shower

Forget blasting your favorite tunes (although a good playlist never hurts!). The real secret to voluminous hair starts with the right products in the shower, especially for those with fine hair. Ditch heavy formulas and swap them for the best volumizing shampoo for fine hair. These specially designed products cleanse your hair without weighing it down, leaving it bouncy, hydrated, and full of life.


Condition Smarter, Not Harder

We all love conditioner, but where you apply it matters! Here's a secret stylists swear by: focus conditioner on your mid-lengths and ends, skipping the roots. Your scalp naturally produces oils, and overloading it with conditioner can weigh things down and lead to greasy, flat hair. Think of conditioner as a thirst quencher for your hair strands – they need it most towards the ends, which tend to be drier. By using conditioner strategically, you'll achieve gorgeous volume and save precious product!


Wash and Blow-dry

Blow-Dry for Volume: Technique is Key

Does your flat hair air dry limp and lifeless? Don't ditch the blow-dryer just yet! The right blow-drying technique with a volumizing spray can be your secret weapon.


Here's a simple trick to get you started:


  1. Flip It: Start by flipping your head upside down and blow-drying at the roots. This loosens the hair and creates lift. No brush is needed yet – we just want to focus on volume at this stage.

  2. Smooth It: Once your hair is about half dry, flip your head back to its normal position. Now, focus the blow-dryer on the mid-lengths and ends with a brush to smooth and soften those areas without flattening the volume you just built at the roots.

Pro Tip: Consider using a volumizing spray before blow-drying for an extra boost. Products like J Beverly Hills Bodifier Thickening Styling Spray can give you a boost of volume, hydration, and overall hair health.


Want to Lock In That Volume? Try These Tricks!


  • Velcro Rollers: After blow-drying, section off flat pieces of hair near your crown and roll them up in Velcro rollers. Heat them with your hairdryer (let them cool completely for a long-lasting boost) to create a beautiful, voluminous crown!

  • Highlights: Want to take your volume game to the next level? Consider adding highlights! Highlights can slightly roughen up the cuticle, giving your hair extra lift and allowing it to hold styles longer. However, for the best colour results with minimal damage, we recommend visiting your local hair salon in Calgary.


Dry Shampoo: Your Flat Hair BFF

Dry shampoo is your best friend when it comes to adding volume to flat hair! Not only can you achieve volume, but the powder can also make hair appear thicker and fuller, prolong your styling, and cleanse your scalp between washes. Opt for a high-quality dry shampoo, like the J Beverly Hills Dry Shampoo, to refresh your hair and maintain volume throughout the week.


Less is More: Shampoo Strategically

We all know daily shampooing isn't ideal, but for flat, fine hair, consider extending washes even further! Opt for a high-quality dry shampoo to refresh your hair between washes. This simple switch can make a noticeable difference in volume within a week!


Tame Flyaways with a Soft Touch

When you do need some hold, ditch the heavy hairsprays that weigh down your hair. Opt for a soft-hold hairspray like J Beverly Hills Hold Me Lite. It provides the perfect balance of control and volume, leaving your hair soft, shiny, and (bonus!) smelling amazing!


Mousse: Your New Volume-Boosting BFF

Forget the crunchy mousse of the past! Today's mousses are lightweight, hydrating, and fantastic for adding volume. Apply a small amount of the J Beverly Hills Styling Mousse Up to wet hair, comb it through to the ends, and blow dry for a serious lift. This mousse adds body, elasticity, and that extra "oomph" your hair craves.
