Secrets of volume creation at the roots

For girls who are naturally endowed with thin hair, it is very important to choose the right styling. In this case, the most advantageous option would be a chic volume at the roots. Today there are many ways to create a spectacular volume: using a curling iron, hair dryer, curlers and special masks. Today we will talk about the most popular methods of forming such a styling.

Advice of professionals

Both thin damaged hair and long thick curls need constant care. In order to create an effective volume at the roots, it is not necessary to constantly use curlers or special thermal devices. It is enough to use the recommendations for hair care from professional hairdressers.

• Choose a shampoo for your hair type.
• Avoid curl care products that contain a lot of silicone. It heavily makes the strands heavier and prevents them from rising.
• Keep in mind that masks and shampoos with a high content of nourishing oils make the hair heavier, so after using such products it is very difficult to achieve lasting volume.
• After washing your hair, use special conditioners, rinses, but do not apply them to the roots.
• Do homemade masks regularly to create volume at the roots.
• Rinse the strands with a mixture of cold water and lemon juice.
• Another easy way to achieve chic volume is to change the parting regularly.
• Perform saline exfoliation once a week.

Special masks

In order to achieve the effect of a chic volume at the roots, it is not necessary to buy expensive masks and shampoos. High quality and natural hair care products can be prepared independently at home.

Consider the most effective masks for the volume of curls at the base:

• Take 2 egg yolks, beat them and mix with cognac (1 tablespoon). If the hair is long and thick, then you can take 3-4 yolks. Apply the mixture evenly to all strands. Cover your head with a special cap or towel. Soak the mask for 30 minutes and then wash off. This mask allows you to create an effective volume at the roots. The yolk has a softening effect, lifting the hairs, and cognac warms up, promoting hair growth.
• Honey is a storehouse of nutrients. It contains many vitamins, minerals that saturate the curls with strength and health. That is why experts recommend regularly making masks based on honey. To do this, heat honey (4 tablespoons) in a water bath and mix with beaten egg yolk and aloe juice (1 tablespoon). Then the mask should be applied to the hair, cover the head with a cap and let the mixture stand for 1 hour. Such a mask not only nourishes the hair with useful substances, but also allows you to raise the strands at the roots without curlers and thermal styling devices.

Hairdryer styling

If you need to make a spectacular volume in a matter of minutes, then you can use the fastest and most effective method - to style your hair with a hairdryer.

So how to properly blow dry and add volume to your hair?

1. Before drying, apply a special mousse or styling gel to the strands to give the hair a splendor.
2. While styling, gently lift the strands up at the roots with your fingers and direct air currents to this area.
3. During drying, you can tilt your head forward and continue styling in this position.
4. Get a special round comb. During drying, twist individual strands on the brush and sweep through them with a stream of air, moving from the root zone to the ends.
5. When drying, do not bring the hair dryer too close to your head. 10 cm is the optimal distance at which the negative effect of hot air currents on the curls is reduced.
6. After styling, fix the hairstyle with varnish.

Fleece formation

Backfilling is a quick and easy way to achieve chic volume at the roots. In order for the styling to be durable, the fleece should be done on clean, dry hair.

To work with your hair, you will need a wide-toothed comb.

• Divide the hair into several parts.
• Take the strands at the back of your head and start combing them, quickly moving the comb from the ends to the base.
• Repeat the procedure for all hair. In this case, the strands on the crown should be combed last.
• Comb the front hair back.
• Fix the hairstyle with nail polish.

Volume creation with curlers

With the help of curlers, you can create a wide variety of hairstyles. In addition, such devices will help create stunning root volume.

There are several types of curlers:

• small - suitable for short hair;
• big - suitable for long thick curls;
• Thermo curlers - suitable for all hair types.

To create volume at the roots, experts recommend choosing large curlers with a smooth finish (ideally a velor surface).

Girls with long thick hair should pay attention to Velcro curlers, because they are considered the best assistants in the formation of root volume. In addition, with their help, you can easily style bangs without an iron and a hair dryer. These products represent a large cylinder made of lightweight material and covered with a special thin fabric (Velcro) with small hooks.

Root volume creation technology with Velcro curlers:

1. Wash and dry your hair thoroughly.
2. Comb your hair.
3. Select one front strand and wind it over the curlers.
4. Continue twisting the top strands, moving from the top of the head to the back of the head. Then wind the side strands onto the curlers.
5. Wait for 1 hour.
6. Carefully remove the Velcro rollers. To do this, twist the hair a little at the roots, and then the rest of the strand, holding its base.
7. Use your fingers to shape the styling to the desired shape.
8. Fix the result with varnish.

Another easy way to achieve effective root volume is use the heat rollers... Their size is selected individually (depending on the length and thickness of the hair). Hairdressers recommend choosing products from high-quality materials that will not only serve you longer than cheap counterparts, but also will not spoil the structure of the curls.

Root volume creation technology using a hot curler:

1. Apply a styling product to slightly damp hair, then blow dry.
2. Select one front strand and roll it over the hot rollers towards your face.
3. Continue curling the rest of your curls, moving towards the back of your head. In this case, all other curls (except for the first) should be twisted in the direction from the face.
4. Roll the side strands onto the curlers.
5. Soak the heat rollers on your head for 5-10 minutes, then remove them.
6. If, after removing them, creases are formed on the curls, then straighten them with an iron.
7. Shape your hair with your fingers.
8. Fix the result with varnish.
