Regular haircuts
The golden rule of healthy hair is regular trims, which boosts fullness.
“When layers grow out and ends get split and limp, we sacrifice body and fullness.”
Mid-length cut with a blunt bottom
Los Angeles-basedcelebrity hairstylist Laurie Heapshas a go-to cut for adding volume.
It’s mid-length, with a critically important twist.
With this style, you could have the best of both worlds length and thickness.
There’s an added bonus, too!
How’s that for a natural way to add some thickness?
Plus, you avoid that awkward and annoying growing out phase!
“Keep it short,” she declared.
“The idea that your hair will appear fuller if it’s longer is a total myth.”
To achieve this look, ask your stylist to remove internal weight to increase fullness.
Instead, interspersing layers throughout should do the trick to increase the look of lush, thick locks.
It’s about the root lift provided by the crimper, not the pattern.
Release the hair that’s been clipped and cover up the hair you crimped.
“This technique adds texture and helps give tons of volume,” she said.
Sheenon Olson, celebrity stylist atATMA Beauty in Miami, also advocates crimping for fullness.
Who knew the crimping iron could be such a secret weapon?!
you’re able to sleep with damp or dry braids, as well.
These style tricks require minimal to no commitment, as well as little effort or spend on additional product.

You’ll notice a whole lot more volume."
Keep hair clean
This one’s really simple: always keep your hair clean.
Not just for general hygiene purposes, but dirty hair is really obvious and goes limp.
“The wetter it looks, the thinner it looks,” he explained.
Finish with round brush to smooth or wave your hair."
Stewart asserts that extensions aren’t just a tool to increase length.
“I am a Natural Beaded Rows (NBR) certified stylist,” she explained.
“NBR is the most natural and the least damaging extension method out there.
There’s no tape or sticky glue and minimal points of contact on the hair.
It’s ideal for people who have fine, limp hair that want more volume.”
Extensions are also ace since they cut down on styling time.
Parts are really critical when it comes to helping hair appear full.
But having your part extend to the back of your head is a no no!
“This makes your hair look really flat,” says Rappolt.
“Only part what would be the bang section or the first two inches back from your hairline.”
“Let the product sit for a minute,” she said.
“Then take your fingers and really work them into the roots.
This will give tons of grit to the hair and help make the hair stand at the roots.”
“This is great for all over volume.”
There can be lots of stuff in the product recipe that leads to limp locks.
“Pay attention to Ingredients from shampoo to styling goop,” warned Kantor.
“Stay away from harsh, synthetic stuff like sulfates and parabens.”
