From Body to Bounce — This Is How to Add Volume to Your Style

We’ve all been there — we glance in the mirror and before moving on we flip, tousle or zhuzh our strands to create a bit of volume. There’s just something about adding a little lift that instantly boosts your style and your mood. Add it to your curls, enhance your blow dry, pair it with an up style — volume is a design element that goes beautifully with every style, which is why we’re breaking down exactly how to add it to your look.

Volume isn’t just about having “big” hair, it's about contouring your hairstyle, and with it, your entire look. But, not all volume is created equally, so you’ll want to pick products and techniques based on your hair type, density and desired look.

Oils and product buildup are common challenges that impede volume. For this reason, starting off fresh with a good cleanse can jumpstart your style. MAXI.WASH weekly helps cleanse the palette and can then be paired with ANGEL.WASH + ANGEL.RINSE shampoo and conditioner to restore fine, damaged hair with a lightweight feel that’s easy to build upon.

Adding volume is about building a foundation with the right layers. For a less is more approach choose between ANTI.GRAVITY for volume plus texture or BODY.BUILDER for weightless body — a great choice for fine or thin hair. Simply add to damp hair and then blow-dry for a voluminous finish that stays in put but remains flexible.

Whether you’re on day two hair or simply need a pick-me-up, DOO.OVER is a dry powder and finishing hairspray-in-one that adds volume while holding everything in place. By removing excess oils it creates a refreshing feel that also boosts volume.

Additionally, if you’re looking to create hold for an up style or a coveted fluffy finish for your curls, DOO.OVER can help you enhance the shape of your style in all the right places without ever feeling sticky.

Adding volume to fine/thin or thinning hair has just as much to do with adding healthy habits as it does effective styling. If hair is on the fine/thin side, alongside targeted scalp care, you’ll want to add plumping products that thicken the strands. The best choices for this are PLUMPING.WASH shampoo and PLUMPING.RINSE conditioner plus BODY.MASS or THICK.AGAIN. Once dry, follow with DOO.OVER to hold, lift, and thicken your style.
