6 Steps to Stunning Volume in Thin Hair

Having thin hair can be frustrating, especially when you want to achieve a voluminous hairstyle. But with the right products and techniques, you can add volume to your thin hair and achieve the look you desire.

1. Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Start your volumizing journey in the shower with L'ANZA's Healing Volume Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner.

2. Blow-Drying Techniques for Volume

The way you blow-dry your hair can make a significant difference in adding volume. After washing your hair with L'ANZA's Healing Volume products, gently towel-dry your hair to remove excess moisture. Apply a small amount of L'ANZA's Healing Volume Zero Weight Gel from the roots to the ends. This lightweight gel will provide lift and support, ensuring your hair maintains its volume throughout the day.

Next, use a round brush while blow-drying your hair. Lift the hair at the roots and direct the airflow from the roots to the tips, to create volume and movement. For added lift at the crown, flip your head upside down while blow-drying.

3. Teasing for Extra Height

To give your hair even more volume at the roots, teasing (also known as backcombing) can work wonders. Use L'ANZA's Healing Style Dry Texture Spray to add texture and grip before teasing. Gently backcomb small sections of hair near the crown, being careful not to damage the hair. Once you achieve the desired volume, smooth the top layer of hair to conceal the teased sections while keeping the volume intact.

4. Use L'ANZA's Healing Volume Root Effects

L'ANZA's Healing Volume Root Effects is a fantastic product specifically designed to add lift and volume to the root area. Simply apply a small amount directly to the roots and massage it in. This root-lifting formula will provide long-lasting support and create the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.

5. Consider Layering

Opt for a layered haircut to create the illusion of more volume. Layers can add texture and movement to thin hair, making it look thicker and fuller. Consult with a professional hairstylist who can recommend the best layering technique to suit your face shape and hair type.

6. Diet and Nutrition

Ensure you have a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins, as these nutrients contribute to healthy hair growth. Foods like eggs, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and fish can be beneficial for hair health.

Here are some additional tips that you may find helpful:

  • Get regular trims: Split ends can make your hair look thinner and less voluminous. Get regular trims to remove split ends and keep your hair looking its best.
  •  Avoid heat styling: Heat styling can damage your hair and make it look thinner. If you must use heat styling tools, use them on the lowest setting possible and apply a heat protectant spray to your hair first.
  • Eat a healthy diet: A healthy diet can help to improve the overall health of your hair, including its thickness. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  • Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for hair growth. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
