Shampoos labeled as “clarifying” are also a good choice when it comes to getting more volume. They’ll clean away conditioning agents and oils that might be weighing your hair down. Don’t use shampoos that are made for dry hair if what you want is volume. These contain conditioners that might make your hair flatter. However, if you have dry or damaged hair, use a moisturizing shampoo.
Use a deep conditioner if your hair is dry or damaged.
Use a low temperature setting to add volume but prevent heat damage from occurring. Using a diffuser is a way to preserve some natural wave and volume.
A lot of people like to start with the section of hair on top, right above the forehead. Adding a little lift right there can make a dramatic difference.
At this point your hair will look wild. That’s totally normal! If you backcombed it correctly, your hair should look like you haven’t combed it in days. You can smooth out the top layer to hide the tangles later.
Backcombing can be used to create gorgeous dreads. Backcombing is the first step to creating the classic French twist.
