30 Jul The Quick Trick to Add Volume to Fine, Straight Hair
If you have fine, straight hair, you’re probably familiar with the frustration of leaving the house with a perfectly styled look, only to watch the volume disappear a few hours later. While there are plenty of products and techniques designed to add body to the hair, a simple at-home trick has become a favorite among those looking for fast results without spending a lot of time or money.
The best part is that you don’t need to buy any special tools. To try this technique, you only need three items that most people already have at home: a hairbrush, hairspray, and a blow dryer. The method focuses on the roots, one of the most important areas when it comes to creating the appearance of fuller, more voluminous hair.
The process is simple. With completely dry hair, brush it downward from the roots to about ear level. Then, without lifting the brush away from the head, push it back toward the roots to create a small cushion or internal lift. Once this teased section has been formed, spray hairspray directly onto it and set it with a burst of heat from the blow dryer. The result is an instant root lift that adds body and creates the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.
However, it is important to keep expectations realistic. This trick does not provide a permanent effect, nor will it deliver the same results for every hair type. On very fine hair, the volume may begin to fade after several hours, especially in humid weather or during long days. For this reason, many people choose to use a strong-hold hairspray to help maintain the effect for as long as possible.
Although simple, this technique can be a quick solution for anyone looking to give fine, straight hair an extra boost of volume and movement without making major changes to their styling routine.
