If you have fine, thin hair, you might be jealous of the sky-high hairstyles you see on runways. Cindy Crawford, Gisele Bündchen, Blake Lively—when you think of who has the best thick, voluminous hair, these are some of the names that come to mind. But how do you get volume like that in real life without a pound of extensions and a 24/7 glam squad? Fret not, Wedding Affair brings to you some really effective tips to get more volume in your hair for the next summer party.
Washing Your Hair
Ideally, use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner for that extra volume. But if you don’t need the latter and volume is truly your goal, skip it. Next, you need to quickly dry your roots with product. If you don’t apply a volumizer or dry your roots from wet to dry, you’ll never get the lift back in. The only way to manipulate the roots is while it’s wet.
If you really want the lifting effect, you need to look for a root lifter with a high alcohol content. You want things that contain zero moisture that promote stiffness and hardness. That’s what makes it pliable and what keeps the volume going all day long. If you’re in a hurry, pull your hair as far forward into a bun as you can get it. As it dries, the roots will hold their shape, so when you pull it down, you’ll have extra volume.
Blow-drying
If you have a little more time in your hands boost the volume by adding mousse to the lengths of your hair. If you add a mousse, when you blow dry it or rough dry it, it makes your strands huge. So, it increases volume and allows for more pliability. After that, you’d blow-dry as normal. Don’t forget the root lifter. Finally, pop in the hot rollers on the front section of the head to get the lift at the root.
Put the diffuser attachment on your dryer and then blast the rollers with heat to create the volume and then blast it with cold hair to set it. Larger curling irons create soft curls that are perfect for adding volume. You can style the curls with your fingers or brush them out with a soft brush for a glamorous Old Hollywood style. You can also part your hair further to one side, you bring more hair onto the top of your head. This will create the illusion that your hair has more volume.
Extra Tips
While it’s rare, sometimes fine, thinning hair can be caused by a medical condition. If you’re noticing an unusually large amount of hair in the shower drain, if your part is getting wider or you’re experiencing patches of hair loss, it could be due to a condition called androgenetic alopecia. While this genetic condition can begin as early as your ‘20s, it’s most common after menopause.
Healthy hair growth starts on the inside. Good edible choices include iron rich foods like spinach, kale, chard, beans and tofu. All of which are great sources of iron as well as biotin and zinc, which are two elements that may support healthy hair growth. Biotin is also found in bananas, beans, cauliflower, eggs, peanuts, lentils and salmon. Protein is also essential for thick and healthy hair.
Get yours from chicken, lean red meats, eggs, nuts, whole grains, soybeans, seafood and low-fat dairy products. Avoiding coffee, alcohol and tobacco; and limiting the consumption of processed and refined foods. Drink plenty of water.
Healthy circulation can nourish the hair follicles in the scalp where hair growth begins, and massage is an easy, excellent (and delightful) way to rev up circulation. Treat yourself to regular scalp massages to stimulate blood flow into those follicles and plump up your fine, thin hair. Simply work a few drops of any oil into your fingertips and rub all over your scalp in a circular motion for a few minutes before you shampoo.
