Why this worksWinter can leave hair looking limp and lifeless due to cold weather and indoor heating. By using the right styling methods, you can create body and movement. Techniques like strategic blow-drying and the right products can work wonders for flat hair.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with the Right Wash Use a volumising shampoo and conditioner to add texture and lift. These products help to cleanse without weighing hair down, setting the stage for fuller locks.
  2. Blow-Dry Upside Down Flip your head upside down while blow-drying to lift roots. This technique allows you to direct airflow at the roots, creating volume that lasts longer.
  3. Use a Round Brush While blow-drying, use a round brush to lift sections of hair at the roots. This technique curls the ends slightly, giving your hair that bouncy, voluminous look.
  4. Finish with Texture Spray Once styled, a light texture spray can help maintain the volume throughout the day. Apply it sparingly to avoid heaviness, focusing on the roots.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the volumising shampoo, which can lead to flat hair. Others might blow-dry their hair while it's still too wet, making it harder to achieve lift. Avoid using too much product, as this can weigh hair down instead of adding volume.

The pro moveTry using a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer for even more lift and volume.
