How to: Add volume to fine hair
“My fine hair can fall flat by noon if I’m not careful. Since I consider even a round brush high-maintenance, I use these tricks to get volume with less work.” Kate Stinchfield, Health.com Editorial Assistant
Boost the roots.
“After I shower, I let my hair air-dry a bit while I do my makeup and get dressed. Then, I saturate my roots with Kiehl’s Super Thick Volumizer ($18.50), concentrating most of the spritzes on my crown area.”
Flip and dry.
“The more I touch my hair with round brushes, the flatter it seems to fall. So I just flip my head upside down and blast away on the hottest air setting. When it’s almost dry, I flip up, turn the setting to cool, then use a small brush to smooth the ends while blowing them with cool air.”
Clip it up.
“After drying, I pull the front section of my hair back to create a mini-pompadour then secure it with a clip. I leave it up as long I can, and when I take it down I have volume that lasts.”
