Blow Dry! - Creating volume!

One the best ways to create volume is using a hairdryer. Voluminous hair is very popular in the 21st century and is reasonably easy to do.

To create voluminous hair using a hairdryer you will need:

Waterspray

Heat protectant

Pintail comb

Large brush

Sectioning clips

Curling tongs

Hairspray

1) To create a voluminous look the very first thing you need to do is make sure the hair is nice and clean. You can either use a water spray to damp the hair or give your head a good thorough wash. 

2) Secondly semi dry the hair using a hairdryer so the hair isn't completely wet and start to section the hair.

3) Making sure a novel is attached to the hairdryer start from the top of the head and place brush a section of hair. Dry this section of hair from underneath at the roots and work your way down, this helps to create lift. 

4) As you go make sure you keep your hairdryer going the same direction as the hair and slightly moving the brush as you go. This will help prevent any flyaways.

5) Work up to the top of the head until you reach the crown alway smacking sure your hairdryer is pointing up underneath the hair to make a lift.

6) To create even more volume you can use a curling iron to loosely curl the ends. 

7) Finally set and finish the hair with a spray of hairspray to keep the hair looking smooth  and slick.
