How To Get More Volume In Straight Hair

by Les Marjan social

Is it true that straight hair doesn't have any volume? Well, the answer is no. Yes, straight hair can be flat and lifeless — especially when it's long. But there are ways to get beautiful volume in your tresses without changing your cut or color. These tips can help you achieve gorgeous locks that are both bouncy and gorgeous:

Wash hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner.

Get frequent trims — yes.

To increase the volume of your straight hair is to get regular trims. Trimming helps keep your hair healthy and strong so that it grows more easily, resulting in a healthier head of hair overall. Additionally, trimming will help maintain the shape of your style by reducing split ends, which can cause damage and breakage if left untreated (and are generally unattractive).

Condition the ends, not the roots.

Conditioner is one of the most suitable products for straight hair, and it can help you add volume by moisturizing your hair and making it more malleable. Apply conditioner from midshaft to ends, focusing on the hair's driest parts (usually near the scalp). Massage gently to avoid tugging or pulling at any point on your head or face. When you do it right, you'll feel this: If a strand feels stiff or brittle while you're massaging in conditioner, wash it out and try again with less pressure.

Blow-dry with a diffuser.

Using a diffuser extension on your hair dryer is the best way to get more volume in straight hair.

A diffuser attachment is an attachment that clips onto the end of a regular blow-dryer, designed to diffuse and disperse air flow evenly through your hair, preventing damage to your strands while still giving you control over how much volume you want. Its bristles are usually made of plastic or nylon and come in different sizes, which means they'll work with varying lengths and thicknesses of hair: short, medium, long; thin, medium-thickness; thick with lots of body.

Avoid using hot tools every day.

Using hot tools on your hair can cause serious damage and lead to breakage, frizz, and premature graying. To reduce the risk of heat damage, use a heat protectant spray or serum before you turn on your flat iron. It's also necessary to remember that any product with alcohol as an ingredient will dehydrate your hair, so try to avoid products that include it.

If you're going for a straight look but want more volume in the process (and are worried about damaging your precious locks), try using a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush or comb with plastic teeth. This will help eliminate tangles and knots without damaging your ends as much as traditional combs could.

There are many other ways you can add volume without subjecting yourself to damaging heat tools daily: try using heat protectant masks, oils, creams, and serums after washing your hair!

Use a volumizing spray or powder before styling.

When it comes to long sleek straight hair, one of the key ingredients for achieving body and bounce is the product. A volumizing spray or powder will help you get that extra boost in volume by lifting the roots as you blow dry your hair. You can also use a root lifting spray before curling or ironing your hair to give it an extra boost of volume.

With these tips, you can have voluminous straight hair all the time.

With this information, you will be able to have voluminous straight hair all the time.

Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner.
Get frequent trims.
Condition only the ends of your natural hair, not the roots (you should avoid applying conditioner at the roots because that makes it look flat).
Blow-dry your straight hair with a diffuser, which creates volume in any hair.
Avoid using hot tools daily; use them sparingly and always on low heat for less damage! Also, try not to brush too much or comb through wet hair - both things can break down healthy protein bonds in your strands over time, cause breakage/frizziness, and cause split ends that look awful.)
