Whether you need to track down the latest runway trends or you’re trusting your intuition, as we head into fall 2024, the direction on hairstyles is clear — bigger is better. No matter what the finish, voluminous hairstyles are in, and we have the perfect tips to help you achieve a larger than life bouncy look this season. Whether you have natural volume or need some help adding it to your style, the secret to achieving a full finish starts with your preparation.
How To Prep Your Hair for Volume
The foundation of any voluminous style is starting with clean hair. This is to ensure that oils and product buildup don’t weigh the hair down. To start, consider adding a double cleanser to your shampoo routine or swap in a clarifying shampoo. In addition to removing anything that could weigh your style down, clean hair provides the perfect foundation for any volumizing product to actually do its job effectively as well.
Adding Volume By Hair Type
If you have fine or thin hair, start with Volume Injection Shampoo, followed by a lightweight conditioner like Acidic Bonding Concentrate Lightweight Liquid Conditioner. This formula offers weightless hydration, strengthens hair, and adds up to 48 hours of volume without making it greasy.
For those with medium to thick hair, a clarifying shampoo like Redken Hair Cleansing Cream is ideal to start with. From there, apply Redken Root Lifter Volumizing Spray at the scalp to add fullness and combat frizz, prepping you for a sleek and voluminous finish.
