In a world full of complicated hair tricks, getting your hair to look fuller is as simple as, well, washing your hair and plugging in your hair dryer.
You Will Need
- A head of wet hair
- A heat-protective serum
- A volumizing product
- A blow-dryer with a diffuser and nozzle
- A few hair clips
- A large rounded hairbrush
- And some hair spray
- A volumizing shampoo (optional)
- And a volumizing conditioner (optional)
Step 1: Blot hair dry
Gently blot your hair dry with a towel.
Wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo and a little light conditioner for the best results.
Step 2: Apply serum
Apply a heat-protective serum to your hair according to the product directions.
Step 3: Work in product
With your fingers, work in a volumizing product according to its directions.
Choose a volumizing product based on your hair type or the look you’re trying to achieve.
Step 4: Attach diffuser
Attach the diffuser to your blow-dryer, and bend over to dry the roots of your hair upside-down for a moment, on a medium heat and speed.
For an extra boost at the roots, massage your scalp in small circular motions, clockwise and counter-clockwise.
Step 5: Part hair
Stand upright and part a line around the back of your head from ear to ear, and clip the top section of hair up.
Step 6: Attach nozzle
Replace the diffuser with a nozzle.
Step 7: Position brush
Pull a lock of hair from the lower section and place a large rounded brush under it near your scalp.
Step 8: Blow-dry hair
Blow-dry the hair from just above the brush as you rotate it, pulling your hair out and away from your scalp.
For extra volume, “over-direct” your hair
Step 9: Continue drying
Continue drying one lock of hair at a time until the lower section of hair is completely dry, then repeat with the top section.
Step 10: Use hair spray
Spritz your hair with hair spray, concentrating at the roots. Now you
Aerosmith’s 1987 hair-metal hit “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)” was inspired by the long tresses of fellow rockers Mötley Crüe.
