Tips for Achieving Fuller Hair Naturally

Are you longing for luscious, voluminous locks without relying on hair extensions? Well, you're in luck! I've been in the hair game a long time and these are some tried and true tips to help you achieve that enviable fullness naturally. Say goodbye to hair extensions and hello to your own lush mane!

GO BACK TO THE BASICS OF ACHIEVING VOLUME

Remember the miracle that was mousse back in the 80’s and 90’s? It worked then and it works now… Another throw back is a root boosting spray blasted with a little heat to really lift and thicken the appearance at the roots. The two together are a recipe for big volume- here are my favs:

DITCH THE TEASING COMB AND ROOT CRIMP INSTEAD

Teasing, or backcombing, is a classic hairstyling technique that can instantly inject volume into your hair, BUT it can cause, frizz at the root, breakage and often results in a noticeable ‘pillow’ formation throughout the crown. Instead opt for a root plumping crimp using an iron like my favorite the Voloom. It’s waffle plates creates an almost undetectable pattern at the roots that doubles the density and helps to camouflage an exposed scalp. My favorite size of the Voloom is the Rootie version, linked below. It’s an investment, but it’ll make the biggest difference and will last you years to come.

REGROW THINNING AREAS WITH OPTIMAL SCALP HEALTH

Focusing on scalp optimization is critical to seeing more growth in your hair. A happy scalp can produce more hair in each follicle and longer growth cycles, resulting in noticeable thickening and lengthening over time. Give it three months to see some results, but with consistent use they will come. Divi is a miracle product in my opinion- and it does it without the use of hormone blockers or chemicals. Caffeine, Tea Tree, Copper Peptides and Amino Acids work together to put your scalp into high gear and get those hair strands filling in and growing quickly.

A FEW [FREE] TIPS FOR MORE HAIR FULLNESS

Change your parting- this is the quickest way to get a boost at your roots. Our follicles (the little tube like opening that hair grows out of in the skin) get a little lazy and tend to lay down if hair is always parted and combed the same direction. When we switch the way in which the hair is parted or brushed it perks the tubes up so that the hair is more lifted off the scalp.
Scalp massage daily- stimulating the scalp with massage not only feels great but it helps with growth in several ways. Namely better blood circulation, cell turnover, and keeping the follicles clear of debris and buildup- which quite literally smothers the potential for growth.
Sleep with hair lifted off the scalp- using a claw to secure a ‘poof’ of hair on the top of the head while you sleep does two things: 1) it helps keep hair from getting greasy over night because the hair is lifted away from the oil found on the scalp. And 2) the hair is ‘setting’ in a voluminous state for several hours overnight which creates memory for more volume in the morning.
