How do you add body to your hair?

Question

How do you add body and umf to your hair? Myne is really really straight and blah I was just wondering if anyone knew a product way to do it or a certain way to blow dry?

Answer 1

get your hair cut in layers, then dry your hair with your head flipped over until it is slightly damp, then flip your head over and finish drying. that really works!

Answer 2

Try a good quality clarifying shampoo........NOT from Walmart. Also, go with a really light conditioner. When you get the build-up off your hair with the clarifying shampoo and then don't weigh it back down with a heavy conditioner, you'll instantly have more body. Also, tipping your head upside to blow dry will work. When you do this, pull your hair foward as you're bent over. Aside from that, you can try hot rollers on the top or a big curling iron. If you use these, make sure to put them in correctly. Pull hair forward and then roll down making sure when it's down to your scalp that the roller or iron is making the roots come forward. Good luck!

Answer 3

U can use a vented brush an blow dry your hair from the root, but the best way to add volume is to use rollers. Velcro or even the hot roller works wonders. My clients love the Velcro cause all after they blow dry their hair into the style of chose the add the a fee rollers until they are ready to walk out the door spray a little hair spray while they hair is rolled and there u have it ....Good Luck

Answer 4

Try using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner (Matrix has a good line called Amplify that might work) or you could try a thickening spray (Bumble and Bumble makes a good one). Definitely stick to high-quality brands, they truly do work better than the cheap-o stuff.

Blow dry it out, flipping your head over towards the end to really give it volume. You can also try the fat velcro rollers (red is a good size) to create volume, bounce and waves--they are inexpensive and easy to use.

Definitely do not start cutting your hair to get volume and umf unless you talk to a professional stylist who thinks it will work with your hair type. Everyone has different hair texture so layers don't work for everyone.

Good luck!

Answer 5

If you have a good blow dryer, it will have a 'cool shot' button. Either with your head upside down, or if you are able to lift your hair in sections while blow drying, point the dryer at your roots while lifting hair. Once you notice it getting warm ( a few seconds) hit your cool button for just a few more seconds. You will notice a bit of a lift. The key is getting the root hot, then cooling it off before you let if fall back into place.

Answer 7

dying your hair provides chemical components to it as does a perm, & has a tendency to dry out the ends, despite the fact that it extremely is purely hair, attempt going for a wispy form on your hair sort, improvise on what you have already got, attempt some highlights & a wispy common maintenance decrease, ensure you tell them which you fairly choose for the ends "wispy", this might upload volume & swing on your hair! this way you purely dry it & flow, you have greater significant issues to issue your self with than a time eating perm!!!

Answer 8

mayonnaise will just add shine and a tinky smell of vinegar to your hair but if you really want to add volume try using a light weight conditioner. or using a cleansing shampoo i really like paul mitchell cleanse and condition all in one. with samy hairspray that i spray on my roots

try some long layers - then blowdry your hair upside down. bed head makes great volumizing products .. Also coloring/ highlighting your hair roughens up the cuticle giving more volume
