7 Hairstyling Tricks Every Woman Should KnowThe expert techniques you need to get beautiful hair every time you style |
11 of 13
Tip 1: Shower the night before you want to wear a voluminous style and while hair is still wet, add a bit of light hold, non-stick gel like Herbal Essences Body Envy Weightless Volumizing Gel, $3.99. Then twist your hair up into a high bun on top of your head and bobby pin in place. In the morning before taking out your bun, blast it with heat from your hair dryer for a few minutes. Once it's completely dry, let hair down to reveal bouncy movement.
Tip 2: To add volume the day you want to wear it, spray clean, damp hair roots with a volumizing spray like Sebastian Shaper Root Raise Lifting Spray, $28.95, making sure to hold the bottle three inches away from your head, warns Buckett. Blow dry your hair, starting at the roots. Blast them with downward heat as you lift and roll hair under with a large round brush. To get mega volume, Buckett says to make sure your roots are 100 percent dry before moving on to the mid shaft and ends. Avoid touching your hair when styling too, the oil from your fingers will weigh down your style.
Bonus Tip: Need even more volume? Dickey suggests using jumbo hot rollers to add instant oomph and glamour. Try Conair Instant Heat Travel Hairsetter Jumbo-Sized Soft Velvety Rollers 1 �, $20.99, which are made of fabric that won't kink hair, but will still create big, bouncy waves.

Good tips, I have thick coarse hair, and I always towel dry, BUT not anymore...

I'll definitely use the tips for cutting bangs and texturizing them. My bangs get long quickly after a haircut.

I use the blow dry your hair... Coarse or curly hair. And it really works... Especially if you can get a straightening brush... Your hair will practically straighten. Good advice here!

what was with the hair type test? according to this really nobody's hair would be thick, because who can only get the elastic around their hair only once?
