5 Ways to Visually Give Your Hair More Volume

Having luscious voluminous hair that shines with health is a dream of many. However, sometimes even with the best care your locks just cannot be that way. But this doesn’t mean that you can’t add volume to them using various styling tricks and other tools.

Give Your Hair More Volume:

In fact, some of the solutions available today will allow you to transform your hairstyle completely, regardless of what your natural hair type is.

1. Color your hair just right

You don’t have to be an artist to know that using colors right gives any object more depth. If one can do this using nothing but a pencil, then a stylist can do the same to your hair. In fact, there are many ways to color the hair to make it more voluminous. You can use a mix of highlights and low-lights. Using a few similar colors that only differ by a shade can also work for some.

Adding a few lighter strands is a great way to give curly hair more volume. And those with very thin hair will benefit from lightening it near the scalp a little.

All in all, an experienced colorist should be able to find a method that will work best for you. They will need to account not only for your natural and desired color but also the texture of your hair.

2. Use tape hair extensions

While all types of hair extensions add some volume, the best option for thin fine hair is tape. This type will sit snugly at the roots of your locks and literally add layers of texture. The result is a semi-permanent yet stunning look that appears natural. If you aren’t looking for super-length, use 16’’ invisi tape hair extensions. They will give you volume and texture and look almost indistinguishable from your natural hair while doing it.

Tape extensions can last for up to six weeks and don’t require any complicated treatment. You should wash them carefully and only use sulfate-free haircare products. You also need to detangle them every morning and evening. Use a wide-toothed comb to do it. Also, avoid messing with the parts of your hair where the tape is bonded to your own tresses.

Otherwise, you can style and wash your extensions and they shouldn’t give you any trouble. If your hair grows fast, you might need to reapply them to lift them up a bit.

3. Choose the right layered haircut

If you want to have volume, you will need to cut layers into your hair. There is some type of layered hairstyle for any length and face shape, so you can definitely find a perfect match for you.

But keep in mind that too many layers will not look good on thin hair. Therefore, if your tresses are too fine, you should focus on layers to frame your face. The rest of the hair should only get a minimal touch. Use color highlights to add more volume there. A combination of a cut and color is the best solution for those with extremely thin hair.

4. Sleep on it

For a much less permanent solution, you can simply pull your hair into a topknot twisting it well. Secure it with a scrunchie and go to bed. You’ll need to do this while your hair is still a little bit wet after your evening shower.

You can also make several smaller twisted topknots. But be mindful of how tight you pull your hair. You don’t want to overdo it and cut off your own circulation. Also, it would be best to sleep on a satin pillow and use soft velvet scrunchies to secure the buns.

In the morning, let your hair down and tease it gently with your fingers and a bit of styling mousse.

5. Master that mess

Messy buns, braids, and updos all make your hair appear more voluminous. However, this type of hairstyles is called “messy” for a reason. If you aren’t careful, your hair will literally look like a mess.

Therefore, you should study multiple video guides for each messy hairstyle you want to try. Then, practice at home so you can find that perfect balance where it’s messy but attractive still.

Be sure not to use too much product in your hair with these styles as they need to be somewhat “soft” to appear more natural.
