This is how you create volume in your hair

There’s no woman who doesn’t want more of this: volume in their hair. So, we’ve done some research for you to help you figure out the best way to crank up the volume hair wise. We totally understand that the large number of different products out there make your head spin. We’re taking you by the hand to guide you through the wonderous world of hair volumizers. Because choosing the right products for you does not only depend on your type of hair but mostly on the type of hair styler you are. Quickly read on to learn more.

Let’s start at the beginning. There are a couple of questions to ask yourself before you can determine which products you need for the best effect.
1. What type of hair styler are you? Do you normally get ready in a hurry or do you prefer creating a selfcare moment with an extensive blow-drying session using a round brush?
2. Which effect are you looking for? Do you want to create volume at the roots or create thicker-looking hair?

Step 1. Style
When it comes down to creating more volume, the right way of styling is how you get the most benefit. Determine your tactic for the best effect suiting your lifestyle.

The quick styler: you’re almost always in a hurry in the morning and are looking for products that complement your easy going lifestyle. You want something that has a visible effect by merely running your fingers through your hair so you’re ready to go out that door.

Volume powders
Powders create more volume at the root of the hair but also a more rigid texture for a thicker-looking hairdo. Throughout the day, all you need is to flip your hair up and down and run your fingers through it for an in-between refresh.
Upside: quick and easy to use, no further styling needed.
Downside: difficult for apply precisely. Only applicable on dry hair. Hair can feel rigid. Because your fingers are your greatest tool, hair can get greasy quicker.
Tip: Swept Up by Oribe is a powder that comes in a unique and handy spray bottle instead of a sprinkler, for a more precise application.

Texturizing & Volume Sprays
Sprays are perfect for creating more structure. The effect isn’t as much located at the roots as it is in between the hairs, creating more volume sideways.
Upside: applicable on both wet or dry hair. Usable as a styling or finishing product. Nourishing effect.
Downside: effect lasts for only a day.
Tip: Dry Texturing Spray by Oribe is a dry shampoo and texturizing spray in one.

For the advanced styler: you like to invest your time to create the perfect result that stays visible for days. Styling your hair is a true selfcare moment for you for which you like to take your time with a blow dryer and a round brush. The pros of taking time out for your styling regime is that you get to determine where you want the most volume: at the root, in-between hairs or both.


Styling mousse
If used correctly, mousse is perfect for both volume and nourishment. Never rub a mousse in between your palms before applying. Preferably apply a royal amount on a clean towel, pick up some product with a coarse comb and divide into the different sections of your hair to blow-dry afterwards.
Upside: nourishing ingredients
Downside: when used the wrong way, it can weight down your hair

Styling sprays
Just like texturizing sprays, styling sprays create more volume sideways, in between the hairs. Only a styling spray - like the name already suggests - needs styling afterwards.
Upside: easy to apply, hydrating and often leaves a pleasant fragrance.
Downside: you have to apply per section and blow-dry that section right away
Step 2. Finisher
After you’ve gone through all that trouble styling your hair, you want to enjoy the result for as long as possible. Then adding a finishing product is crucial. With a finisher you can opt to add fixation, shine, nourishment or… some extra volume.
