Tired of limp, lackluster locks? Want hair that is bouncy full of volume and body? Here are a few tips to help you create big hair at home. All you need is a blow dryer, some texturizing spray and patience.
Pick The Right Hair Dryer
Ionic blow dryers are quite popular right now and great if you want super smooth locks but if you want to create volume you’ll need to create a rougher texture by turning the ion button off. For example, you may want to select one of the Babyliss hair dryers which all come with an ion on/off switch. If you have thicker or longer hair use a blow dryer with at least 1800 watts in order to dry your hair effectively.
Blast At The Roots
Creating big volume all starts with the right blow drying technique. Start blow drying your hair with your head upside down while running your fingers through your hair until it’s almost dry. Flip your hair over and use a round ceramic brush to tautly pull on hair while you aim the airflow at the roots. Use the cool shot button once you’ve finished drying your hair in order to set your style in place.
Use Texturizing Spray
One of the easiest ways to create instant volume is to use a texturizing spray as a finisher once you’ve finished styling your hair. A texturizing spray adds instant body and volume. Another trick for full hair is to apply dry shampoo between washings. Dry shampoo will immediately absorb oil leaving hair looking full and lush.
