How to add volume to hair?

To add volume to your hair, consider the following tips:

1. Use volumizing shampoo and conditioner: Look for products specifically formulated to increase hair volume.
2. Skip conditioner on the roots: Apply conditioner to your mid-lengths and ends rather than the roots to avoid weighing down the hair and reducing volume.
3. Blow-dry with volume in mind: a. Start with damp hair and apply a volumizing product, such as a mousse or lightweight cream. b. Blow-dry hair upside down, focusing on the roots for initial volume. c. Add in roller setups or use a diffuser for curly hair to enhance volume.
4. Experiment with styling techniques: Tease roots gently using a fine-tooth comb for fuller-looking hair. Massage the scalp to improve blood circulation and promote hair growth, and try an old-school styling method like velcro rollers for volume and curls.
5. Adjust your diet: Consume foods rich in vitamins and minerals like Vitamin D, Zinc, Fatty acids, and Biotin to support hair health and growth.
6. Dry shampoo: Use a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil, add texture, and lift the roots, all of which contribute to volume.
7. Change your hair parting: Switching up your part can create new patterns in hair growth and texture, resulting in more dynamic volume.
8. Overnight waves without heat: Use slightly dirty hair to create overnight waves by splitting your hair into sections and securing it in your preferred styles, then allowing your hair to dry naturally overnight.
9. Avoid thermal damage: Minimize the use of heating tools, and when blow-drying, use a medium setting and a cool shot to prevent damage that can reduce hair volume over time.
10. Coloring: Highlights or a full head of color can add volume by roughening the cuticles, leading to better hold for styling and lift.

Remember to be gentle with your hair, as over-manipulation or vigorous styling can lead to hair damage, reducing its ability to hold volume.
