Switch shampoos
Try incorporating a volume-boosting shampoo, like John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Shampoo ($7) into your hair regimen. This will help pave the foundation for full-bodied, bombshell tresses.
Avoid heavy conditioners
Make sure to apply a lightweight conditioner only to the ends of your hair so it doesn’t weigh down your roots. Try Pantene Fine Hair Solutions Volume Conditioner ($4).
Strengthen weak strands
Thin strands are fragile and tend to experience breakage easily. So to keep them strong and healthy by applying a lightweight conditioning hair mask like Moroccanoil Weightless Hydrating Mask ($55) to your strands at least once a week. This argan oil-rich formula will deeply hydrate and condition your hair without weighing it down.
Spray on some hairspray
Before blow-drying, spritz a thickening spray throughout damp hair, from roots to ends, to add some body and texture. Try Bumble and bumble Thickening Hairspray ($27). Use a medium sized boar bristle brush and blow-out hair, section by section.
Bring out the hot rollers
Once your hair is dry, set it with some old-school hot rollers to help add some life and create volume. I love Remington Ionic Protective Hot Rollers Set ($27).
Refresh with dry shampoo
Liven up second day hair with a volumizing dry shampoo, like Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Shampoo ($25). This amazing formula not only adds volume and thickness to the roots but also absorbs excess oil from the scalp and hair.
Back-comb strands
Back-combing (also known as teasing) adds instant body, especially at your roots. For mega volume, tease hair at the crown using a teasing brush, like Spornette Little Wonder ($5). Spritz hair with a light-weight hairspray to hold the look.
