Give Me Body

Need fuller hair? No need to keep getting dizzy by holding your head upside down while blow-drying. Here are a few suggestions to give you that lift; from permanent to temporary. 

Layers  Cutting your hair in layers will give you a fuller look. The shorter the layer, the fuller it’ll get. Generally you wont lose too much length, unless your hair is extremely long then yes, some of the length will need to be sacrificed for blending purposes (depending on how short of a layer you want). But overall, the bulk of layers come from the center (crown) of your head. 

Perm Some people think perms are out of style but this is a good way to get body. You don’t have to end up looking like Little Orphan Annie with tight frizzy curls! Just ask your stylist for a body wave and remember the smaller the rod the tighter the curl so make sure the proper rod is used for your length and for the look that you desire. You can also wear your hair without the wave by using a flat iron or curling iron for a different temporary look; just know that once you wet your hair again it will go back to wavy/curly. Note: This procedure isn’t suggested for every hair type/texture.

Hair Rollers Wet setting your hair your hair on larger rollers, then brushing it out with a paddle brush will create a nice full look. If you get layers cut into your hair first that will add even more volume.Dry rollers such as the velcro type, are also available to maintain fullness over night.

Volumizers There are plenty of volumizing products. You will find gels, sprays, shampoos, conditioners, mousses and more. I personally find it contradictory to have a gel that adds body. It is already a heavy product, so how can it give u the lift that you need? I feel the same way about the “volume conditioner”. I prefer a spray or a foam/mousse…something light.

Drying Procedures  Allowing your hair to air-dry or blow-drying from bottom to top, will also give you some fullness.
