How to Achieve Shine and Lasting Volume for Thin, Limp Hair: Expert Tips

QUESTION: I have thin, limp hair that lacks shine (it's always been this way for me). I want more volume, but when I add it, my hair turns dull and matte. Adding shine products flattens it right away. How do celebrities maintain both shine and volume?

ANSWER: Start with a volume-boosting shampoo and conditioner. These strengthen fine hair, remove weighing dirt, and prevent limpness. If conditioner feels heavy, apply it only to the ends.

Towel-dry after showering, then apply a volume spray or mousse to the roots and areas needing lift. Bend forward and roughly blow-dry until most moisture is gone. Use a round brush at the roots, directing the dryer for lift. For targeted volume, mist roots and dry in that direction.

For subtle shine, opt for a volume spray with shine particles. For extra gloss, finish with a lightweight, non-greasy gloss spray from 15-20 cm away. Enjoy volume and shine together.
