Achieving envy-worthy volume doesn't always require a professional hair team on standby.

(although that certainly helps!)

Here are three simple yet effective steps to infuse your hair with that much-desired lift and volume.

Shampoo and Conditioner from a Volume Range

The first step to achieving voluminous hair is choosing the right products in the shower.

How often should you shampoo?
It's essential not to over-wash, as this can strip your hair of its natural oils. For most people, washing 2-3 times a week is ideal. If your hair gets oily quickly, consider using a dry shampoo in between washes.

Temperature of the water:
Warm water is best for shampooing as it opens up the hair cuticles, allowing the shampoo to cleanse effectively. However, always finish with a cold rinse to close the cuticles, which adds shine and helps in creating volume.
Massage strategy:
Instead of just slathering on shampoo, use your fingertips to massage your scalp in circular motions gently. This not only helps in removing dirt and oil but also stimulates blood flow, promoting hair health and growth.
Conditioner tip:
While conditioner is great for adding softness, avoid applying it to your roots as it can weigh the hair down. Focus on the mid-lengths and ends for best results.

Thermal Moulding & More

To maximise volume post-shower:

Thermal moulding products:
Consider using volume foam or a medium hold styling cream. These products add structure and volume, especially when heat is applied.

Blow-drying strategy:
Blow-dry the roots in the opposite direction of hair growth. This lifts the hair at the root, creating instant volume. And for that extra 'va va voom', use rollers to set your hair, allowing it to cool and set in that voluminous shape.

Final Styling Products

Hairspray & Volume Powder:
Once your hair is styled, reinforce that volume with some hairspray. For added lift, sprinkle some volume powder at the roots and massage it in.

If you've tried everything and still crave more volume, consider investing in discreet hair extensions.

Not only can they add length, but they can also provide that additional volume to fine or thinning hair.

Creating volume doesn't require magic – just the right techniques and products.

Experiment with these steps and find what works best for you.

Remember, big hair, don't care!
