How to Get Volume in Hair
When it comes to achieving voluminous hair, many people focus solely on products, often missing out on crucial techniques that can make a world of difference. While products play a significant role, understanding how to use them effectively is key to creating long-lasting volume, especially when styling wigs from UHAIR. In this blog, we'll explore the best practices for getting volume in your hair, using high-quality wigs, and debunk some common misconceptions along the way.
Understanding the Foundation of Hair Volume
Volume isn’t just about root lift. While root lift is essential, it’s only one-third of the equation. To achieve true volume, you need to create bend and structure from the roots through the mid-shaft to the ends of your hair. This applies whether you’re working with your natural hair or styling a wig.
Choosing the Right Product:
When shopping for volumizing products, you'll likely encounter mousses, gels, and creams. Mousses tend to be lighter, providing volume with less control, while gels and creams are heavier, offering more control and hold. For those who are new to volumizing products, it's essential to experiment with the amount used. Start by saturating your hair to see how much volume you can achieve and adjust accordingly.
Application Techniques for Maximum Volume
One common mistake is applying products unevenly. After washing your hair or prepping your wig, make sure to towel-dry until it’s damp. Then, apply the product evenly from roots to ends. This ensures that every strand is coated, allowing for consistent volume throughout.
Avoiding Hair Flattening:
While drying your hair, it’s important to avoid flattening the roots. If you're using a round brush, lift the hair away from the scalp to maintain the volume created during the blow-drying process. This technique is equally effective when styling wigs.
Tips for Long-Lasting Volume
Volume tends to diminish throughout the day, especially in humid conditions. To combat this, overstyle slightly in the morning, knowing that some volume will naturally settle as the day progresses. Additionally, drying your hair or wig in an environment that matches the outside humidity level can help maintain the style longer.
Humidity and Hair Volume:
Humidity can wreak havoc on volumized hair. If you know you’ll be spending time in a humid environment, dry your hair or wig in a room with open windows or even outside. This helps your hair acclimate to the humidity and hold its shape better.
Incorporating Wig Care into Your Routine
For those using UHAIR wigs, it’s crucial to treat your wig with the same care as your natural hair. Regular conditioning, careful application of volumizing products, and proper drying techniques will keep your wig looking full and fabulous.
By following these tips, you’ll be able to achieve and maintain impressive hair volume, whether you’re styling your natural hair or one of UHAIR’s premium wigs. Try out these techniques and enjoy the confidence that comes with voluminous, healthy-looking hair.
