“PLUMP” UP THE VOLUME!
Tips and tricks to turn up the volume
MAKE THE CUT! A good haircut can give you the volume (or the illusion of volume) you’ve always wanted! Adding a few layers can add some lift, but the best advice is to keep the cut you have in good shape. Don’t let split ends take over, and get a trim every 6 to 8 weeks or so. Also, collarbone and above is the length to shoot for. Any longer makes fine hair too weighed down. If you want it long, don’t cry! We have extensions for that!
FAKE IT! With all of the options available now, there is no need to suffer with fine, flat hair. Add volume in half an hour with our volume treatment using hair extensions. 1 box of Balmain System Volume should do the trick. Instant volume on the spot! Adding length and volume is possible too-so don’t be shy, give it a try!
COLOR ME BIG! You knew it was coming! Experimenting with a new hair color or adding dimension with a few highlights and lowlights is an easy way to make your hair look fuller and thicker. In some cases, color can plump the hair shaft and add fullness to give the illusion of thicker hair.
TREAT ME RIGHT! There are several treatments out that can “clinically” help fine, thinning hair. DON’T PUT THIS OFF! The sooner you start the better! The Kevin Murphy Plumping line has bottled eyelash lengthening and thickening technology, which extends the growth phase of hair and keeps it from falling out. The DS Laboratories product line is FDA approved to grow new hair. Try either option with an in salon treatment. We can then tell you how to treat at home like a pro.
BECOME A JUNKIE! A product junkie, that is! Volumizing products are a MUST for volume in fine hair! There are weightless options that we love: Kevin Murphy Body Builder, Kevin Murphy Full Again, Unite Boosta Spray, Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse…and the list goes on. Eliminating oil also goes a long way to keeping hair from falling flat. Use a dry shampoo between regular washing to keep hair fresh and add a bit of lift. Kevin Murphy’s Fresh Hair Dry Shampoo is a girl’s best friend (and it smells like marshmallows)! Get good arsenal of products and instructions from your styl
ist on your favorites, and USE them!
SWITCH IT UP! Parting your hair in the same place everyday encourages your hair to lie flat in that direction. Try parting your hair differently and spritz with a good hairspray like Unite’s GO365.
NEW WAVE! Permanent waving is all the rage for getting volume. Don’t cringe…this ain’t your grandma’s perm! Long gone are the days of poodle curls and crunchy texture. Now, everything from soft beach waves, to defined curls is on the table. Some services get blown out just to give volume without a curl in sight!Celebrate all the hard working mamas out there!
