QUESTION: I have thin, limp hair that barely shines (I already had that as a child). So I would like volume in my hatred, but once I manage to do that, my hair will be even duller and matte. However, as soon as I put a shine product in it, I lose my volume and my hair is in no time limp again. How do all those celebs do that, with shine and lasting volume?
ANSWER: “Choose a volume shampoo and possibly conditioner † This will make your hair more powerful and stronger. Shampoo will remove dirt that can weigh down the hair. Volume conditioners have been developed for fine to normal hair and ensure that the hair does not become limp. If you find a conditioner too aggravating, apply it only on the ends †
Towel dry your hair after showering. Now apply a volume spray or mousse on, at the roots and where you want more volume. Bend your head forward and blow-dry roughly until most of the moisture is gone. Use a round brush at the roots and blow dryer in the direction you want the lift. Where you want extra volume, spray the spray at the roots of the hair and then aim the blow dryer at that.
For a subtle shine, choose a volume spray with shine † For even more shine, use a gloss product with a light, non-greasy spray formula. Spray on 15 to 20 cm from the hair. This way you have volume and shine at the same time †
