How to Pump Up Flat Hair

No one wants flat, lifeless locks when the temperature drops, but this doesn’t have to be an issue with cold, dry weather. There are several techniques you can try to revive volume in your strands. Avoid products that weigh down your strands by opting for hair mousse, texturizing sprays that won’t clog up your scalp, and using a scalp mask to clear away the buildup.

Flat irons can do much more than straighten hair; with some practice and know-how, they can also create beautiful curls. For optimal curling results, look for flat irons with ceramic plates that heat evenly and last longer than metal models. Create a “C” shape with your flat iron at your roots for beachy waves. As you work down through each section, twist it half-turn until an elongated C shape forms, featuring more rounded curves on its inner side. Repeat until you reach the ends, then spritz with hairspray to maintain this style.

hair mousse can add serious volume and lift to flat hair, provided it contains low alcohol levels that won’t dry it out. Apply the mousse liberally onto damp locks and work it through using your fingers. Start with a golf-ball-sized dollop of mousse and distribute it evenly throughout your hair, then blow dry for a full, voluminous effect. Mousse may also help define loose ringlets while giving roots some lift.

A practical haircut can do wonders for flat hair. A shoulder-length cut with a side part can give the impression of fullness in thin locks. This style works particularly well on oval faces and adds old Hollywood glamour. The middle part is an ideal style to suit most facial structures. This classic hairdo subtly slows down facial features while drawing attention to cheekbones that may otherwise go undetected. To create an ideal middle part, start your style inside one eyebrow’s peak and comb to the opposite side for natural-looking results.

Hair rollers can be your secret weapon for adding volume. They work exceptionally well when applied to damp locks, creating curls or waves as desired. For optimal results, your hair must be prepared by washing and using heat protectant spray before dividing it into manageable sections and rolling! For best results, start moving! When rolling your hair, keep this in mind: smaller roller sizes create tighter coils. To achieve more volume and texture in your locks, we suggest using small rollers on your forehead, medium rollers on the sides, and large ones at the back of your head.

Hairspray can help preserve volume. Look for a flexible hold to run your hand through your strands as necessary. Use this light formula before styling to add texture and workable hold or boost lift and grip afterward. In either instance, its non-drying formula won’t leave your strands feeling crunchy; even braids can benefit from this for a surfer-hair-don’t-care texture! To apply, flip your hair upside down and lightly spray some layers throughout. For optimal results, choose a volumizing hairspray with heat protection features; do not try to cover all your locks simultaneously, as doing so could leave too much product and result in stiff, crunchy locks.

Dry shampoo can be an invaluable aid on days without access to showering facilities, providing extra volume in your locks while giving you additional flexibility and control of styling options. But for maximum effectiveness and value, it must be used correctly! To make sure it has maximum effectiveness. Start each application by vigorously shaking the bottle – giving it a good shaker-shaker! – to evenly disperse powdery goodness throughout. Next, section your hair into small sections and spray in short bursts to not oversaturate one area with too much product. Next, gently rub the product into your roots and strands – we recommend doing this before bed to give your hair plenty of time to absorb the product thoroughly.
