How to give volume to your fine hair?

1. Adopt a tailored skincare routine

There are tons of shampoos out there for fine hair so you'll be spoiled for choice. But do not hesitate to complete your hair routine with another shampoo, adapted to the nature of your hair, which you will take once in two for example.

Warning:be aware that shampoos for straightening hair tend to weigh it down. If you have very fine hair, avoid it!

2. Rinse your hair!

OK OK we are not going to teach you how to wash your hair but we still allow ourselves a little reminder:the shampoo is applied to the root of the hair on the entire contour of the face and at the top of the skull. The lengths will also benefit from the product but it is not worth attacking them too much. Then we massage well and above all gently. And finally… we rinse for a very long time! It is necessary to hear like a squealing under the fingers. If there's leftover shampoo, your hair will look dull and it will get dirty faster (so it will flatten faster).

3. Apply a "volumizer" treatment

On damp hair, head down, spray a volumizing lotion on your hair. Then raise your head and do the roots, strand by strand. There is no need to put too much on so as not to dirty your hair.

4. Dry your hair upside down

For a beautiful volume, dry your hair upside down to "unstick" the roots. If you have a diffuser, even better. Once your head is up, comb your hair with your fingers.

A little pro tip from Olivier Lebrun:to give volume to very long hair, part your hair in two and tie the top hair with a clip. Crimp the strands below just at the roots and then release your hair.

To maintain the hairstyle, choose a volumizing hairspray.
