If you don't have time for full wash and style, or if you are part of the "no poo" movement, learning to save second day hair is a must!Adding volume will save time and make you feel confident.
Step 1: Add volume to your hair with a dry cleanser.
Adding volume to second day hair can be accomplished by using dry shampoo.Shake the bottle and apply it evenly to your roots.Work around your head in small sections.Take a couple of minutes to wash the hair.If you want it to work, massage it into your head and brush your fingers through your hair.The product should be translucent when applied.It's possible that you used too much if you're getting a white, powdery substance.Blending it in more can be done with brushing.The chemicals used in powders are not as harsh on hair as the spray formulas are.
Step 2: You can use baby powder as an alternative.
Baby powder works well if you have run out of your dry hair or are on a budget.It is advisable to apply it the night before to give it time to absorb the excess oil in your hair.
Step 3: volumizer adds a boost to your hair.
If you want to avoid the length and majority of your hair, spray your roots.Start at your roots and move towards its ends.To add more volume, blow dry your hair with a nozzle attachment: flipped upside down, brushed straight up, or using a large round brush.
Step 4: Texturizing spray can give your hair more movement.
Texturizing spray can be applied to the entire length of your hair.You'll be ready to go if you just tousle or suck.
Step 5: Don't wash the crown or bangs of your hair.
Like your face, these areas of your hair are called the T-zone.The sections that collect the most oil.It will take seconds to blow dry and use a fraction of the time that it would take to wash and dry your whole head if you only wash your T-zone.
Step 6: Take your hair out on the other side.
If you normally part your hair on the left, try the right.Your locks will naturally lay flatter when they are parted normally, but mixing up the part day-to-day will help give it a little boost of volume in between washes.
Step 7: Curls are added to straight hair.
This is a good time to try out second day hair.If you want to separate your hair, you can twist around your finger or use a curling iron.Let your hair down and brush after you heat the sections with a blow dryer for 30 seconds.You can get your hair braided at night.If you want a relaxed wavy curl, braid it in the morning or night.Before using heat styling tools, apply a heat-protectant product.
Step 8: Tease your hair if you want more volume.
Start at the crown with a one inch section of hair and use a fine comb to tease it three times.Continue to tease the crown and sides.To smooth your hair, brush it down after you have finished your head.The hair-spraying will make it hold.You can pull and smooth it into a ponytail by teasing it at the crown.Pull it into a high ponytail and put it in a top bun.
Step 9: To lift limp bangs, create a French headband braid.
If you loosen the braid with an elastic, it will look like it has more volume.
Step 10: If all attempts to volumize fail, try a slicked-back look.
After brushing out any tangles, comb through your product of choice.Start at your bangs and comb them away from your face, either straight back over your crown or in the direction of your part.If you want to keep your hair in place, Tuck it behind your ears.Once your hair is in place, blow dry with high heat and a fan on low to set the product.
Step 11: Attach different styles with barrettes, clips, or bobby pins.
Pull your bangs back, push them forward, and clip towards the front of your crown.You can twist strands of long hair together, pull them to the back of your crown, and clip them.Pull and clip sections of your hair in different directions to create some texture.
Step 12: The illusion of more volume can be given.
Adding flower or butterfly clips and crowns to your hair will make it look bigger and help add the illusion of volume.You can either use the clips to secure the flower or butterfly, or you can use them to pull back your hair.Flower crowns will need to be secured with pins to make sure they stay in place for the day.
Step 13: Adding hair extensions will give you more body.
It is recommended to get them done by a professional.If you want to try at home, make sure you choose a color that matches your natural color.Before putting the clips in, make sure your hair is clean.Attach them at angles a few inches from your head so that you don't see any bumps.
