Only Apply Conditioner To The Ends of Hair
Let’s start with the simplest hair change of all: the next time you shampoo and condition, take care to shampoo the roots of your hair to remove dirt and oils (with less focus on your strands to avoid drying your hair out). But when it comes to conditioner, keep the reverse rule in mind: only condition your strands and avoid applying heavy conditioners to your roots. conditioners can be too heavy for your roots and may result in weighing your hair down and making it look more limp.
Apply Root-Lifting Sprays
Root-lifting sprays do exactly what you think they might: when applied to the roots of your damp hair, they create volume and lift that is then activated by your blow-drying while you’re styling your hair. You might be surprised at how much volume you can create in thinner hair by simply incorporating this one product into your hair.
One to try: Living Proof Full Volume & Root-Lifting Spray. One reviewer raves: “I have very fine, thin hair that gets flat very easily, especially in humid hot heat. I normally use dry shampoo or texture spray to help, however I don’t always love how they make my hair feel. This spray is supposed to be applied on damp hair , so I have been using it every time I shower. It does a great job at making my hair look healthy and voluminous all day long!”
Use Mousse
This eighties hair staple was forgotten for so long, but now hair mousse is back in a big way as we rediscover its potential to give your hair life and body. Apply it all over to damp hair and then scrunch your hair and dry with a diffuser to give it a wavy finish or blow it straight for a voluminous blow-out that would make Cindy Crawford proud.
One mousse to try: Drybar Southern Belle Volume-Boosting Mousse
Get a Blunt Haircut
Whether you prefer your hair at a longer length or welcome the change that a bob haircut might bring, one constant remains with both lengths: blunter ends can make your hair look fuller and healthier. Have stringy layers can thin out the ends of your hair, which isn’t what you’re likely going for. You can keep the ends blunt and your stylist can still add layers to the top that provide movement.
And if you are ready to try a bob, you won’t be disappointed: of all of the haircuts out there, this one rises to the top when it comes to cuts that can automatically make your hair look and feel fuller.
