Pump up the volume
Do your tresses fall flat midday? Try these quick tricks:
1. Use body-building stylers. Don’t underestimate the power of volumizing stylers (I like mousse). When your hair’s still damp, rake it in from root to tips. If your hair’s fine, apply to roots only.
Bargain buy: Aussie Opposites Attract styling mousse, $3; at mass retailers. For information, visit aussie.com.
2. Blow-dry for body. Lift up sections of hair at the crown, directing hot air toward your scalp, or dry in the opposite direction from how you usually wear it. Flip it back when you’re finished.
Bargain buy: Remington All That! Speed Dry Hair Dryer, $15; drugstore.com.
3. Tease it. Brush backwards in only one direction: downward. It’s less damaging that way. Spray a strong hairspray to lock in the root.
Bargain buy: Suave Professionals Volumizing Finishing Hairspray, $2; at mass retailers. For information, visit suave.com.
4. Bake in body. Using heated styling appliances like hot rollers, curling irons or even Velcro rollers (heated with a blow dryer) will help to define layers and create waves. For long-lasting shape, use medium or small barrels or rollers.
Bargain buy: Conair Instant Heat Styling Brush, $13; drugstore.com.
