Create Volume in Your Hair

Want great volume in your hair like the celebrities? Follow these easy steps to sky high, stay put hair.

Steps

  1. Scrunch your hair.
  2. Tease your hair.

    • Create a zig-zag parting to the side of the centre. This can be achieved by using the reverse end of a teasing comb. Simply draw a zig-zag pattern on scalp and separate the hair.
    • Select a small selection of hair on the crown of your head, approximately {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} by {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}.
    • place the comb underneath the section, {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} from the root.
    • In strong, firm motions, drag the comb towards the root of the hair. Repeat this numerous times until the section looks messy and big.
    • Spray the section with a strong hairspray
    • Repeat steps 3- 6 around the parting
    • Gently comb your teased hair with a paddle brush. Ensure you don't flatten your creation, brush the hair enough to just look neat.
    • Style your hair around your face as desired
  3. French braid your hair when it's wet and leave it that way through the day. You can sleep with it, too. Undo your braid the next day and you'll have lots of volume to work with.

Tips

  • Don't be afraid if your hair looks very messy when you tease it. Its the point, its the teasing that creates the volume. You can neaten it later by lightly brushing it
  • Teasing can make your hair appear to be thicker
  • This style works best on medium to long hair
  • Tease the hair on one side of your head slightly more than the other to achieve a sultry just- out- of- bed style

Warnings

  • Don't tease your hair everyday as it will weaken the shaft of your hair, causing it to break
  • Volume can look stylish and sexy, but too much can make you look a bit tacky.
