Hey everyone! With it being a rainy night, I reached out to my audience and asked them what they wanted to see from me and a reply was "How to get volume to stay in thick hair". And Im over here, like "heck ya, that's my specialty" . So here we are! I have naturally thick heavy hair, so this is all from experience. Everyone is different but these are some general tips.
1. Get the right hair products.
The products you use in the shower is also incredibly important, because shampoos and conditioners (especially conditioners) can weigh your hair down and make it look even more flat and limpy, I’ve found that volumizing shampoos do work, but they are bit tricky. If you have colored your hair, beware – some formulas can strip or fade the color. And because volumizing shampoos give volume and are formulated not to weigh hair down, it does not contain so many conditioning agents; so it can dry out your hair a lot.

2.Try volumizing styling products.
Hair products that I feel really make a difference e are styling products. A volumizing mousse or rootboost, in my opinion, works just as well as volumizing shampoo without drying out your hair. I get asked all the time how I get my hair so big and what I use. Well its all right here in this video!

3. Use that blowdryer- the right way.
. A tip all the pros use is to blow dry your hair upside down – flip your head and blast the hot air from the nape of your neck to the crown, working backwards. Also, focus on blowing your roots. My favorite trick is blow drying the hair in the opposite direction at the roots. Pushing your hair on the left side of your head, to the right side of your head will create volume! This technique works really well with a rootboost foam or a volume moose.

4. Teasing & backcombing.
Backcombing or “teasing” your hair at the crown and smoothing some hair over it will lift hair and not make it so flat. If you don't know how to do it, check out my video here. Beware though, backcombing can be very damaging, but if you want some extra height at your roots, this works very well. Instead if a comb, I use my nylon brush from Sally beauty.

5.Heat it up.
Styling tools can give your hair some volume, especially curling irons. As you know, wavy hair always look more voluminous and fluffy. This takes practice though, and it can damage your hair if you do it too much. Always use a thermal protectant.

6. Stock up on dry shampoo.
Ive said it once, I'll say it again: MAKE DRY SHAMPOO YOUR BEST FRIEND! Here’s a general hair tip: Don’t wash it everyday! Use dry shampoos for the days you don’t wash your hair. I love my Redken Pillow Proof Dry Shampoo and my favorite part about it is that it gives a great start to teasing!
