Okay, so I wanted to give my hair a bit more oomph, you know, make it look fuller and all. I tried a few things, and I’m here to spill the beans on what worked and what didn’t.
Flipping My Part
First off, I messed around with my hair part. Usually, I part it on the left, so I switched it up and started parting it on the right. It sounds silly, but it actually did make a difference. My hair looked a bit more lifted at the roots.
- Started parting my hair on the opposite side.
- Noticed an instant lift.
- This was an easy win.
Washing Less
Next, I cut back on how often I wash my hair. I used to wash it every day, but now I do it every other day, or sometimes even every two days. Less washing equals less weight on the hair, I guess. My hair feels a bit lighter and has more natural volume.
- Reduced washing frequency.
- Hair feels less weighed down.
- More natural volume appeared.
Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner
I also went out and bought some volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I found some in the supermarket. I started using these instead of my usual stuff, and there was a difference, though not massive. The shampoo makes my hair feel clean without feeling stripped, and the conditioner doesn’t weigh it down. These seemed to give a bit of a boost.
- Switched to volumizing shampoo and conditioner.
- Hair feels clean and not stripped.
- Conditioner doesn’t weigh hair down.
Blow-Drying Upside Down
This one was a game-changer. After washing, I started blow-drying my hair upside down. I just flip my head over and blast the roots with the dryer. Once it’s mostly dry, I flip back up and style as usual. This really amps up the volume at the roots.
- Blow-dried hair upside down, focusing on roots.
- Flipped back up to style when mostly dry.
- Major root volume achieved.
Final Thoughts
So, those are the things I tried, and honestly, they worked pretty well. My hair definitely looks fuller and has more body now. It’s not a miracle, but it’s a noticeable improvement. I’m happy with the results, and I think I’ll keep doing these things to keep the volume up. These were super easy things to change in my routine, and I noticed a difference pretty quickly.
Give these a try if you’re looking for a bit more volume in your hair. You might be surprised at how well they work!
