Volume adds glamour to your look. It makes you look attractive and youthful. There are a few people who find it difficult to achieve voluminous hair. Reasons for limp hair include hair type, scalp issues, and styling damage.
What Is Hair Volume?
Hair volume is the amount of fullness or body that your hair has. Learning how to volumize hair can give you the fuller look that you desire. Many factors can affect hair volume, including genetics, scalp health, hair care practices, and products.
Root Lift vs. Hair Density: Here’s the Difference
Understanding root lift and hair density lets you fully realize your hair's capabilities.
Essentially, it measures the distance your hair is raised from the scalp. Temporary, style-induced (via blow-outs/caning ), and that extra lift makes thin hair appear fuller right away.
Hair density, on the other hand, is structural. It’s the number of strands and how thick they are. Mostly genetic, but you can help maintain it with strengthening products. It’s what affects how dense your hair appears overall.
How Volumizing Products Physically Alter Hair
If you’re curious about how to add volume to hair, you should first understand exactly what hair volumizing products are doing to your strands.
Opening Up Strands:
Flat hair lies directly on your scalp with little space between strands. When this happens, your hair appears dense with no body or movement. Volumizing products help push strands apart and hold them there with air pockets and space between hairs.
What GK Hair’s VolumizeHer Spray Does:
VolumeHer Spray has special proteins and polymers that surround each strand of your hair. When sprayed onto damp hair, VolumeHer Spray distributes evenly across each strand. As the hair dries, polymers form a lightweight, flexible microfilm around each hair shaft. It contains Juvexin V2 keratin anti-aging protein blend that helps nourish and strengthen hair from within. Hair feels smooth and soft with no frizz. Make this formula your go-to voluminous spray for hair.
How Our Styling Mousse Works:
Our styling mousse is foam-based, and that is by design. Apply your hair mousse to your hair. When you dispense hair mousse into your hand, you’re not squirting liquid onto your hand; you are pressing out a foam made of millions of tiny air-filled bubbles. Those air-filled bubbles allow the volumizing ingredients to be carried to your hair.
Our formula is infused with nourishing ingredients, including weightless, natural coconut fruit conditioners and seed extracts that help you achieve voluminous hair seamlessly.
This formula also:
-
Conditions and moisturizes hair instantly.
-
Helps combat frizz & flyaways.
-
Helps prepare hair for easy styling.
-
Adds gentle hold to your style.
How to Add Volume to Fine Hair
Fine hair has the smallest diameter of each hair strand. The reason you may struggle with volume is that fine hair appears flat and lifeless. Fine hair's advantage lies in its minimal weight compared to other hair textures. Which means when volumized properly, your hair will fluff up beautifully.
Tips for Fine Hair
Don’t wash every day: Fine hair may go oily quickly, but washing it every day will dry it out and make it look flat. Wash your hair every 2-3 days only with our Moisturizing Shampoo.
Apply products only at the roots: Fine hair cannot hold heavy products along the lengths of the hair. Apply our VolumizeHer Spray only where you need it at the roots. Brush through the lengths and ends one more time. You want to make sure there isn’t any product build-up as this will weigh your hair down.
Blow-dry upside down: Flip your head down and blow-dry your roots. As you blow-dry, lift with your fingers or a round brush.
Sleep in a loose bun: Fine hair will flatten out while you sleep if you don't sleep in a loose bun.
Don’t use heavy oils and serums: Fine hair is quick to reveal any product buildup. Ditch the heavy products altogether.
Adding Volume to Medium Hair
Medium hair is gorgeous and totally poised to be voluminous. It has much more “texture” than fine hair and isn’t so heavy that styles get weighed down, as some thick-haired ladies experience. Here are some tips that work with the natural volume potential of medium hair.
Tips for Medium Hair
Apply volumizing products from roots to tip: One thing you don’t want to do if you have medium hair is use volumizing products only at the roots. Our VolumizeHer Spray can be used from roots to ends because medium hair can create lift at the roots and body throughout your lengths.
Blow-dry with a round brush in sections: Blow-drying your hair section by section can really help add volume to medium hair. Take a large round brush and scrunch your roots up while smoothing down lengths. You’ll achieve volume and polish together!
Try voluminous curly hair techniques: Curly hair has volume, even if you have straight hair. Get waves and curls for instant volume: For an instant boost, just curl your hair with a curling iron or hot rollers. Curled hair occupies more space than straight hair.
Adding Volume to Thick Hair
Those in the thick category naturally have voluminous hair, but its weight often causes it to flatten down. Trying to volumize thick hair can be difficult because you need lift at the roots, but also need to lighten the weight throughout your hair.
Tips for Adding Volume to Thick Hair
Get the proper haircut: Thick hair needs layers. Internal layers will lighten your hair without taking away too much length. Avoid heavy, one-length cuts that make your thick hair shape into a triangle.
Apply volumizing products only to your roots: Thick hair doesn't need more body all over. There's already plenty of volume there! Apply the volumizing product to your roots and crown to target the extra weight.
Precision blow drying: Use a concentrator nozzle when blow-drying to direct heat to the roots of each section. Pull your hair up while blow-drying with your fingers or a brush to “train” your hair to lift away from your scalp.
