Preparing Your Hair for Volume


When you want to put a little more “oomph” in your 'do, it all begins in the shower when you wash your hair. What you use to prep your hair will make all of the difference when it comes to your end result.

So, start by choosing an appropriate volumizing or thickening shampoo and conditioner. These typically are very light and will give your hair the moisture it needs without weighing it down. No matter your budget, these shampoos and conditioners can be found either at your local drugstore or your favorite salon.

Once your hair is clean, the next step is to add a styling agent. Products like mousse, volumizing gels or creams, and thickening creams will help to prep your hair for the styling that is yet to come. When applying these products, it is best to mainly apply them to the roots of the hair, as this is where your volume will come from.

Avoid adding products to the ends of the hair as this my inadvertently weigh the hair down. If you need to detangle your hair, be sure to comb (not brush) from the bottom of the hair, working your way up to the roots. Avoid pulling or tugging on the hair.
