3 Ways to Add Volume to Your Hair

Volume can be a hard thing to achieve for those who don’t come by it naturally. I love volume and here are a few tips to getting some extra “oomph” in your do.
The first step to volume can be as simple as the products you are using. Products are some of your best friends! 

Using an Kevin Murphy Anit.Gravity, an oil-free volumizing agent is a great first step!

You can also combine it with other products like Maroccan Oil to add more body

The Kevin Murphy Powder puff is also great to use as a finishing product and to add definition to the texture of the hair.

Blowdrying can help you as well. Volume is mostly created at the root of the strand. When you blowdry your hair, dry it the opposite way you want it to fall. For instance, when you want more volume and you pull your hair back normally, blowdry it forward. the resistance you create will create volume when 
you pull it back for styling.



Another great way to add extra volume is called back brushing (also known as back combing). This technique requires you to take a comb or brush to a section of hair and comb/brush the hair from ends to scalp. You can then lightly brush over the sections to smooth out the top layer and hide the back combing.
Use these tips and tricks to never leave the house with flat hair again!
