Key takeaways
- Volume is built from the washing stage and especially during drying.
- Keep the roots light and lift them while drying upside down.
- A light volumising product at the roots makes all the difference.
- During the day, powder or dry shampoo revives volume.
- A consistent routine maintains the effect.
Step 1: washing
Gentle shampoo, lukewarm water (not hot), treatment only on the lengths, thorough rinsing and a final rinse with cool water. Avoid anything that weighs down the roots.
Step 2: drying
The key to volume: dry upside down, lifting the roots with your fingers or a round brush. Finish with a blast of cool air to set it.
Step 3: styling
Apply a light volumising mousse or spray at the roots on damp hair, then style to lift the roots. Avoid heavy serums and waxes all over.
Step 4: daytime maintenance
A volumising powder or a little dry shampoo at the roots revives volume. Avoid handling your hair too much.
