Big Hair is Back | 4 Tips for Easy Volume

Big Hair is back on the Catwalk

A movement is happening, and it’s big. The catwalks are showing off big, voluminous hair this season. Back to the 80’s? Not quite. This trend is big, but there’s one key difference. The look is softer. The secret to nailing this trend?  It’s all about retaining movement in the hair. Hair is big, and it’s free-flowing. Use simple techniques and my Styling Mist for Natural Hold and Volume to get the season’s biggest hair trend.

1. Get Lift at the Roots

Prep your hair with Styling Mist Natural Hold and Volume, and gently work the roots with a hairdryer. You can do this with your fingers to give your hair more texture and movement.  Bend your head over the hairdryer, pointing it upwards for maximum root lift.

I just love this product! After suffering a lifetime of fine, flat hair I have at last found something that totally does what is says on the bottle!

Brilliant. I don’t usually do reviews but I am so pleased with this. I have grey fine hair which I am growing into another style. This spray has kept my hair looking tidy and natural.
Clare
This mist is amazing, has natural hold without being claggy. It’s smells amazing too.
Ellen
I’m amazed that this product has made such a difference to my hair. I took it to my hairdresser and she loved it too. It detangles my hair and leaves it with a volume that lasts for a couple of days.

2. Big Velcro Rollers for Big Hair

Rough dry the rest of your hair and apply a few Velcro rollers when the hair is still warm. For big waves, choose big rollers. They don’t need to cover all of the hair. Place wherever you want to get volume.

Leave the rollers to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and remove.

3. Back Comb your Hair

Want more lift? You can tease and back-comb the hair at the roots to increase the lift at the crown or the roots. 

4. Use your Fingers to Style Hair

This is not a ‘done’ look. You want the hair to look soft with plenty of movement. Use your fingers to push the hair into place.
