Video how to make basal hair volume

That is, you can give volume to the hair at the roots in different ways. In order not to get confused in these methods (and there are many of them), we will divide them into two conditional blocks: mandatory and alternative.

Mandatory and alternative ways to add volume at the hair roots

Mandatory are those hair manipulations that, one way or another, any woman does, for example, hair care, haircut, styling, coloring. Simply, all these usual actions with hair can be done in such a way that they will give volume to the hairstyle, precisely at the roots of the hair.

Alternative methods also contribute to the creation of hair volume at the roots, but these are methods about which the woman herself decides whether to use them or not. For example, curling, fleece, carving and so on.

Give hair volume at the roots, mandatory methods

Add volume at the roots with hair care products

To give hair volume at the hair roots, you can not trust any, even the most expensive, shampoos. Shampoos, which include any oils, are especially contraindicated for creating volume at the roots. Give volume to hair shampoos marked "volume". And you need to wash your hair with such a shampoo as follows, dilute the shampoo, about one quarter with warm water, beat the foam and apply this foam to your hair.

On washed hair, it is better to apply a conditioner, rather than a nourishing balm. As a styling agent, to create volume at the hair roots, liquid sprays, such as a texturizer, styling, are suitable. They very gently fix the curls, without weighing them down or sticking them together.

If a hairspray is used to fix the hairstyle, it should be chosen with a light or medium fixation, and the hairspray should be applied, if the hairstyle allows it, you need to tilt your head down and spray it mainly in the root zone. This will add volume to the hair at the roots.

The right haircut will give your hair volume at the roots.

How are haircut, hair length and volume related? In a very close way, both the length of the hair and the haircut can visually increase and decrease the volume of the hair, both at the root and along the entire length. What length of hair to choose so that the hairstyle looks voluminous and lush? With a properly done haircut and additional styling (in some cases), any hair: long, medium, short can look magnificent.

Consider all options for hair length, and what haircut to choose for any hair length, so that the volume at the hair roots is present and looks natural.

• Short hair

A hairstyle with short hair, most often, already looks voluminous, since short hair is lighter and creates natural volume at the roots. With short hair, it is almost not necessary to carry out special manipulations to give them volume at the roots, but even here there are some nuances. A very short haircut will not only not add volume to the hairstyle, but will visually reduce it. The optimal length for a short haircut is the shortest strands at the level of the lower point of the ears, the longest, to the chin. Hairstyles in the style of "bob" and "bob" will visually add volume to short hair, and for women of Balzac age (40-45 years old), such short haircuts will help to look younger. But for very young ladies, a short haircut is contraindicated, it makes them older.

• Medium length hair

The right haircut of medium length hair can also make the hairstyle voluminous both at the roots and along the entire length. For medium length hair that reaches the shoulders or

a little lower, to create volume at the roots of the hair, cascade or ladder haircuts are suitable, when each lower strand is longer than the upper one. Such a haircut is not suitable only for those who have excessively dry hair with lifeless tips, they will stick out in different directions, giving the hairstyle sloppiness.

• Long hair

Adding volume at the roots if the hair is long is the most difficult task. Due to its length, the total mass of hair becomes heavier and the basal volume, even if it was created by some

way (proper drying, the use of special care products) does not last long, even a stepped haircut does not help much. But you can make a haircut that will create volume even on long curls, this is basal thinning. The essence of this haircut lies in the fact that the hairdresser cuts the hair at the roots with special scissors, preventing the bulk of the hair from fitting snugly to the head.

There is another way to create volume at the roots on long hair without exposing it to a haircut. Special hairpins-overlays will help to create a basal volume on long hair. They are pinned up in the hair at the top, back and sides, covered with hair, thereby creating volume at the roots. Another simple but effective way to create volume at the roots of long hair. From time to time you need to change the location of the parting on the head. Hair, resisting the new direction, will lie at the roots more magnificently.

Coloring as a way to create the illusion of volume at the hair roots

Illusion, illusion, and visually, correctly dyed hair really looks more magnificent and voluminous. This effect of volume at the roots of the hair will help create a special way of coloring hair - American highlighting. This is a very complex method of hair coloring, it lies in the fact that a real color scheme is created on the hair, tint highlights, color transitions give the hairstyle visual lightness, airiness and volume. In such highlighting, several shades and tones are used, it is used only on dark hair.

For blondes, stylists also came up with this hair coloring option, after which, visually, the hair looks more voluminous. Moreover, this is the most gentle method of staining, called "majimesh". Its essence lies in the fact that staining is done with natural paints, with the addition of wax. Hair dyed in this way acquires a brilliant golden hue, and curls look more voluminous.

Dry you, do not overdry

Volume at the roots of the hair can be achieved by proper drying. When drying hair, a regular hair dryer is used, or a hair dryer with a diffuser nozzle, or an iron with a corrugated nozzle, even drying performed without the use of any devices, but correctly, will help create a basal volume.

1. Drying with a hair dryer. Apply styling mousse only to the hair roots. Tilt your head down, direct the running hair dryer only at the roots of the hair, lifting the strands in the root zone with your fingers. You can use a special rounded comb-brush, winding strands of hair around the comb and also directing a stream of warm air to the base of the hair.
2. Drying with a diffuser. The whole drying procedure is exactly the same, only a hair dryer nozzle with elongated, voluminous diffuser protrusions is used. The strands of hair are taken in turn by the projections of the diffuser and, when the head is tilted down, each strand is dried separately.
3. Drying with an iron with a corrugated nozzle. Before using this drying method, you need to treat your hair with a heat protectant. Having divided the entire mass of hair into two sectors, lower and upper, we carry out the drying procedure with an iron only with the lower part of the curls, the upper part of the hair will dry naturally while drying the lower one. We grab each strand of the lower part of the hair with the ironing plates, moving it from the roots to the ends of the hair for 10-15 seconds. If the upper part of the hair, during the drying of the lower one, is not completely dry, it is dried with the same iron, but grabbing the hair only at the roots.
4. Drying naturally. Such drying is the least harmful to the condition of the hair, but it has one drawback, it takes a lot of time. Dry your hair as much as possible with a towel without twisting it. Then divide the hair into small strands, roll each strand in the form of a tube and fix it with a hairpin. Then wait for the natural drying of the curls, release them from the hairpins, carefully comb.

After any of these types of drying, it is necessary to fix the effect of volume at the hair roots, tilting your head down, sprinkle the root zone with medium fixation varnish.

Alternative ways to add volume at the hair roots

Traditional curlers

Old (our great-grandmothers used to wrap hair on curlers), but not forgotten curlers are a great way to add volume to hair, both at the roots and along the entire length. The horizontal way of winding the curlers will add volume specifically at the roots of the hair. To achieve good volume, you need to use large curlers.

Curling is a guarantee of creating volume at the hair roots, but ...
That's right, but. Perm is certainly a cardinal tool for creating volume for the entire hairstyle, and for a long time, for almost 6 months, but everyone has long known that it does not affect the hair in the best way, chemistry is chemistry.

An alternative to perm can be carving, a new method of curling hair without the use of chemicals. Carving is absolutely harmless to hair, but its result does not last six months, like a perm, but only 1.5-2 months. And one more small minus of this method of curling, after carving, you can not dye your hair for two to three months.

Hair will add volume at the roots of the hair

Combing is also an old and tried and true method of creating volume at the roots of the hair. Moreover, for its application it is not necessary to go to the salon, it can be done independently. Separate the upper part of the curls, fix them with a hairpin and begin to comb each strand from the roots to the ends of the hair, moving from the back of the head to the top of the head. The completed bouffant is covered with the upper part of the hair and fixed with varnish. Combing as a means of adding volume to the hair roots is certainly effective, but it should not be done often. Frequent use of combing can destroy the structure of the hair.

Masks are the most useful way to create volume at the hair roots.

The use of masks is the healthiest and most beneficial way to add volume to the hair roots. Masks not only add volume, but also heal the hair, improve its structure. How to prepare and use masks is described in detail in the article from the same section "Masks for hair volume". There are many recipes for adding volume to the hair roots, here is one of them:

Milk-vodka mask

This mask will add volume to the hair at the roots, sometimes it is at the roots that the hair lies especially flat, it is one of the easiest to prepare and use. The composition of the mask:

• Milk, fat content 1.5% - 0.5 cups
• Vodka - 3 tablespoons

Pour vodka into milk, shake slightly, you don’t even need to mix it too much, vodka mixes perfectly with milk and rub this mixture into the hair roots. It is not necessary to wet the entire length of the hair. This mask, unlike the others, can be used 2 times a week.

Give volume to the hair at the roots for a long time and without harm to them

In any field of human knowledge, progress is inevitable, and hair care cosmetology is no exception. Experts in this field are creating more and more new ways to make the hairstyle more voluminous, more magnificent, without worsening the general condition of the hair.

Three new technologies allow not only to create volume at the hair roots for a long time, but also contribute to the improvement of hair:

1. Fleece - in an hour and a half, a hairstyle is created that matches the salon styling, which will last on the head both after washing the hair and after wearing the headdress, for about two months. All components used in this cosmetic procedure are of natural origin, so they do not cause any harm to the hair and can be used by women of any age.
2. Boost-up will not only create volume at the roots of the hair, but also reduce the fat content of the hair, restore their healthy natural shine, due to the substance of cystiamine, which literally heals the hair. The effect of the basal volume will last for six months, if after washing the hair, the hair is properly dried.
3. Bouffant by Paul Mitchell, the application of this salon treatment also includes the use of a human hair amino acid derivative - cystyamine, which makes this method of creating volume at the hair roots not only harmless, but even beneficial for the condition of the hair. The whole procedure takes a quarter of an hour, and the effect of root volume lasts more than 3 months.

The only drawback of all these three methods of creating volume at the hair roots is their high cost.

Extensions - the most cardinal method of creating volume at the hair roots

The extension is carried out in the salon, this procedure lasts about four hours, you can wear such a hairstyle for six months. Due to the introduced new strands, the volume at the hair roots increases, and the whole hair looks more magnificent. Moreover, with hair extensions, you can do everything the same as with ordinary hair: wash, dye, curl, style.

Ways to give hair extra volume

What to do if your hair cannot boast of pomp and density, but you don’t want to walk with a sleek ponytail? Do not rush to despair, there is a way out! There are many ways to give your hair volume at the roots at home.

Shampoos

Not professional

Envelop each hair with a special substance (most often silicone), which remains on it until the next wash. Accordingly, the hair becomes denser and thicker, which adds volume to it without styling. The advantages of such shampoos include their low price. The negative is that dust settles on silicone, so you have to wash your hair more often. The most popular shampoos:

• Shamtu herbal cocktail (about 80 rubles);
• NIVEA Spectacular volume (about 160 rubles);
• Fructis Elastic volume 48 hours (about 90 rubles);
• Timotei Luxurious volume (about 120 rubles).

Professional

Such funds are devoid of silicone, parabens and paraffin. But they contain keratins and proteins that hair needs for health. List of the most popular shampoos:

It is advisable to supplement the action of the shampoo with a balm or conditioner of the same brand and line. They smooth the scales of the hairs, and a thin protective film forms on its surface. As a result, the strands are better combed, become smoother and more manageable - this also visually increases the volume.

Cosmetics

Funds for volume in the root zone are divided into two categories: those that are applied to the hair before styling, and after. They lift the hair at the roots, making it stiffer in this area.

Used before installation:

Applied after laying:

• Styling powder Got2b which is applied in two ways. In the first case, you need to pour a small amount of powder into the palm of your hand and rub it - the powder will become invisible. Then apply it to the root zone of dry hair. The second option implies a more noticeable volume: you need to apply the product directly to the hair roots, without first rubbing it in your hands. Good for thin and light hair, for heavier curls it may not be enough. It costs about 300-400 rubles.
• Styling powder Taft "Instant Volume". It is applied in the same way as the previous one. The shape of the hairstyle is modeled by hand. This tool is well suited for thin hair, while heavy hair will be lush for only a few hours. The price is about 150-200 rubles.

The list of cosmetics for hair volume can be continued indefinitely. Their difference lies in the cost, which is formed by the popularity of the brand, the amount of funds and additional functions (for example, protection, moisturizing, and so on).

Salon procedures

Boost up

This perm, which is done only at the roots, with the exception of the upper strands. Due to this, you can maintain the effect of smooth hair - the top layer covers the curls (about the same as in the case of the basal corrugation). Price - from 3000 rubles. The volume lasts up to 6 months.

Hair extension

The extension strands are the same length as the natural ones. The procedure can take place in several ways - ultrasonic, laser, manual method (selective extension), as well as the Bellargo method. The prices for the extension procedure differ depending on the chosen method and the number of strands (from 2000 rubles and more). Regular correction is required (about 1 time in 3 months).

Long-term styling (carving) and basal perms

These procedures provide additional volume in the root zone. The disadvantages of such procedures include the fact that growing back, the hair will again be smooth at the roots, and a little lower will be fluffy.

The price for carving and basal chemistry is formed depending on the length and thickness of the hair. On average, the cost is from 1000 to 2500 rubles. The effect usually lasts 4-8 weeks.

A haircut

You can add volume to thin hair with the right haircut.

• For long hair, the best solution would be a short flight of stairs, a cascade. Oblique bangs on the sides of the face, torn ends and layers are welcome.
• For medium length hair, bob and bob are recommended.
• For short ones - page, bob, sessun.

If you prefer a layered haircut, you need to carefully monitor the hairstyle and cut off the regrown ends regularly, as the “fresh cut” visually makes the hair more voluminous.

If graduation is not to your liking, it is better to turn to a long massive bang made with a blunt cut - it gives the impression of thicker and more lush hair.

Coloring

Permanent coloring It is also able to increase volume, but only slightly: the coloring particles penetrate into the hair, which increases its thickness. You can also add splendor to the hairstyle due to the play of highlights and colors. This is where highlighting and bronding come to the rescue.

highlighting highlights individual strands, making them lighter - the difference between dark and light tones makes it possible to visually increase the splendor of the hairstyle. In this case, the main thing is to choose the most close, and not contrasting shades.

Booking creates the effect of sun-bleached strands, so it looks more natural. Like highlighting, this procedure creates a volume effect due to the play of shades.

3D coloring interesting in that the shade can change depending on the angle at which the light falls. The essence of three-dimensional coloring comes down to the fact that harmoniously combined shades are selected, with which strands are painted according to a special scheme. As a result, layers are formed that visually increase the volume.

Volumetric styling tools

curlers

There are several types of curlers: electric, Velcro and thermal. If you want to get body waves, use large curlers. Curlers are used on clean hair.

Curling irons and styler

Curling irons and flat irons can do more than just straighten hair or create curls. If you use a device with a large diameter, soft body waves are provided to you.

Volumetric styling can be done using a corrugated nozzle. Especially This is true for owners of long haircuts..

• The hair should be divided into several tiers, the upper ones should be fixed with a hairpin, the lower ones should be treated with a thermal protective agent.
• Laying starts from the lower zones. Place the root part of the curl between the corrugation plates. Rising to the upper tiers, reduce the treated area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hair so that the top layer remains intact - it will cover the corrugated curls.

The RowentaVolume 24 styler deserves special attention. It is a curved device for creating volume at the roots. It is better not to use it on the upper strands so that creases do not form. There is a temperature indicator.

We dry the hair, make a bouffant and fix the styling

How to dry:

We make a pile

The fastest way to get volume is a bouffant. It is recommended to do it with a brush with thick bristles. Divide the hair into strands, lift each one perpendicular to the head and, starting from the middle, comb them to the roots. Do it vigorously, but do not injure the hair.

So you need to process the entire head, and then gently smooth the top layer of hair, without affecting the bottom.

Fixing

The most common hair fixing agent is lacquer. It can be of three levels of fixation: strong, medium and weak. The varnish is applied to the laid curls from a distance of 25-30 cm, after which it is not necessary to comb the hair.

The most popular varnishes in our country are the products of the brands Wella, Taft, Londa, Got2B from Schwarzkopf & Henkel and Gliss Kur. A good varnish does not stick the hair together, but simply fixes it.

The problem of basal hair volume (or rather, its absence) is relevant for many. In the summer, you can still live with it. Do the volume - and for the evening or, at best, for the day, this is enough. But in winter, the choice is small: either the hat kills the last hints of lush hair, or you freeze your ears, but the hairstyle is beautiful. Admit it, who recognized himself?

Why is this question relevant?

Jokes aside, but creating a basal volume, and so that it also lasts for a long time, is not an easy task. And here beauty salons and beauty bloggers on YouTube come to the rescue. With an arsenal of products and tools for the hairstyle of your dreams, your hair will stand on end (but not for long and not in the way we want). What are they offering us?

Basically, these are methods based on the use of a hair dryer, curling irons, corrugations and a sea of ​​\u200b\u200bhairspray. Those who desperately want a lush hairstyle at any cost will agree to such a set, but over time they will switch to nourishing and restoring masks, or they will radically change their image by cutting off burned and chemically stuffed hair. And who needs it?

How too much use of a hair dryer damages hair?

If you dry your hair with a hair dryer 1-2 times a week at medium power using thermal protection, and make treatment masks a couple of times a week, then using a hair dryer is unlikely to backfire on you. But few people bother so much with hair care. Dry, basically, according to the principle "the faster the better", that is, at maximum power and a minimum distance from the hair, which is fraught. Hair dries out, becomes brittle and split.

Why misuse hurts more?

The flow of hot air in itself is harmful, and if the hair dryer is not handled properly, it is even dangerous: you can burn your scalp, ears, and face. If the air flow is directed to the hair roots, the skin, along with the hair follicles, overheats, begins to peel off (hello, dandruff!), Hair nutrition is disturbed, they become weak and lifeless, grow poorly and fall out.

Further. Remember the hair cuticle, or rather, the scales that form it? With proper drying, when you direct the flow of air from the roots to the tips, the scales are smoothed out, excess moisture does not evaporate from the hair, and they are protected from external influences. In the opposite direction, the scales rise, dirt and chemicals clog under them, and when combing in this position, you also rip them off with a comb. The hair is damaged, and the restoring mask will no longer help here. Take care of your hair - dry it properly!

Which hair dryer is most dangerous for?

The weaker and thinner the hair, the more dangerous the hair dryer, curling iron and iron are for them. They are also dangerous for strong hair, but they will last a little longer without visible consequences.

How to give hair volume at the roots without a hair dryer, curling iron and curlers?

Simple but unpredictable

The easiest way, but not for everyone, is to go to bed with wet hair. You can pre-tie ponytails or braid pigtails. But get ready for the fact that the result can be unpredictable.

Lift up after washing

A more predictable and manageable process will require freshly washed hair from you. During washing, it is better to use light shampoo and conditioner, then you can rinse your hair with cool water with the addition of lemon juice - this tones the skin, the hair will rise at the roots and will be easier to style.

We have how to dry your hair without a hair dryer. Here is your hair dried and ready for styling. Comb thoroughly with a massage brush so that there are no knots left, and the hair is “breathed”. If your brush does not cope with these simple tasks, it's time to find a replacement for it in our catalog.

Run your hands through your hair, fluff it up and gently lift it up at the roots. The volume should already appear. Now put your head down and spray your hair with hairspray. To maintain volume throughout the day, lift the hair with your hands at the roots.

With powder

The next way: styling powder. Since the powder is able to absorb sebum, it is used only on clean and dry hair. The method of application is simple: separate the strand, pour a small amount of powder on the roots and distribute evenly. The powder melts on the hair, invisibly envelops and lifts them at the roots. It is used only in the root zone and in small quantities, otherwise you risk getting the effect of "icicles".

Of the minuses of this method, we have the cost of powder (about 300 rubles and more) and the untidy appearance of the hairstyle the next day - and we know that daily washing is very harmful to hair.

With the use of fleece

Another way is the classic bouffant. Everyone knows about it, but not everyone knows how to do it right. Now I will explain. Many people think that you need to make more movements of the comb along the strand, then the pile will be larger and last longer. But no, this way you only harm your hair more.

How to do it right?

1. To keep the surface of the hairstyle smooth, select a few strands with which you will cover the bouffant and pin them up with a clip. If you do not have, then you can choose them from us - for every taste, color and shape.
2. Select a strand 1-2 cm thick and place it perpendicular to the surface of the head. Enter a thin comb into the strand and lead it to the roots. Perform a couple of light movements from the inside of the strand and from the outside. Treat the whole head in this way. If you have heavy hair, coat each strand with a little hairspray.
3. At the end, cover the teased hair with smooth strands, smooth it with a comb and sprinkle with varnish.

Moisture is evaporated not so much by thermal effects as by the air flow itself. The more powerful this flow, the faster the evaporation. The temperature should be average. Therefore, it is best to buy a hair dryer with several power and temperature options.

How ionization allows you to save the hair structure

Ionization is provided by a special plate that produces and adds ions to the air flow, breaking the water on the surface of the hair into microscopic drops. Droplets of this size are actively absorbed by the hair, as a result, the hair dries faster on the outside, and is saturated with moisture from the inside. We get healthy, smooth and shiny hair.
