How to add volume to fine hair
The main problem with thin strands is the lack of volume, when thin hairs, under their weight, adhere to the head and the hairstyle looks slick. Different methods can be used to give the desired volume and make the styling more luxurious.
How to achieve root volume
The increased splendor of the strands at the roots looks beautiful in any case. It is needed to create voluminous curls and just for daily live styling. To achieve this effect, a variety of techniques are used.
At home, you can create volume in the root part of the hair with a minimal set of brushes and combs, using the simplest styling tools:
- Comb the strands at the roots. To do this, you just need to separate part of the strands in the area of which volume is needed, lift up and comb them with a frequent comb from top to bottom to a length of about 15 cm from the roots. Then the strands are lowered, masked with other uncombed curls and the hairstyle is fixed with invisibility and varnish. The disadvantage of this method is that the hairs become tangled and can be damaged. Therefore, it is often impossible to do fleece.
- Medium length hair can be simply styled with the round brush. Wet strands are treated with styling mousse and dried with a hot hairdryer, winding on a round brush and thereby lifting at the roots. To keep the volume longer, the final styling is fixed with varnish.
- A way for the lazy is to simply collect wet curls in a high ponytail and dry naturally. Some girls generally go to bed with this hairstyle. In the morning, you are guaranteed a lush volume at the roots. But it will almost certainly be sloppy.
In the salon you can make a special perm called Boost Up. During this procedure, a special gentle composition is used, and the perm itself is performed only on the root area of the strands. As a result, the hair at the roots is lifted and the hairstyle looks more luxuriant. The Boost Up result lasts up to six months, so as the strands grow, the curled area will gradually move down to the ends of the strands. To correct this, you have to straighten the hair with special compounds or do leveling lamination for the entire length of the curls.
