4 ways to add body to flat hair
As we age, our hair sadly can thin out and became lifeless. The good news is that you can employ some simple tips and tricks to give you hair that others will be envious of.
The right produts
Don't just settle for any old shampoo and conditioner - look for ones that are volumizing as they won't weigh your strands down.
The root of the matter
When looking to up the ante of your hair volume, you need to first concentrate on the roots. Get yourself a "root riser" type product - look for a volumising spray of lightweight mousse. Apply a small amount (usualy the size of 20c coin, but look to the instructions) and comb through before you style.
Tools of the trade
Ever wondered what was the ideal size brush for acheiving a volumnious blow-dry? Look for a round brush that is on the large side. And don't stop there. Think about your blow-drying technique too. Make sure you blow-dry your hair by lifting the brush up and away from your head.
