Hair Care Rituals for Stable Volume at the Roots
For lasting volume at the roots, proper hair care is essential. A ritual that can help you achieve this is using a volume-enhancing shampoo and conditioner—with the conditioner only applied to the lengths and ends to avoid weighing down the roots. Once a week, treat your hair to extra care with a special volume mask. This nourishes and strengthens the hair without overloading it. When drying, it is helpful to pre-dry the hair upside down to lift the roots, thus ensuring more volume at the roots. Make sure to use only lukewarm air and keep the hairdryer moving to avoid heat damage. To enhance the effect of your haircut, you can also rely on good scalp massages. This promotes circulation and thus the health of your hair roots. Regular scalp massages can also stimulate hair growth and strengthen the hair roots.
Blow-Drying Techniques for Volume Without Overloading
Proper blow-drying plays a major role in creating volume at the roots without damaging the hair. Start by gently squeezing your hair with a microfiber towel or an old cotton T-shirt to avoid unnecessary rubbing and thus frizz. When blow-drying, use a volumizing brush and work in sections by pulling each strand over the brush and directing the blow-dryer at the roots from below. Keep the blow-dryer at a safe distance to minimize heat and use the cool shot to set the volume. You should occasionally switch styling tools: instead of using a blow-dryer, air drying or adding gentle waves with mousse can lift the hair at the roots. This avoids unnecessary strain on the hair while maintaining volume.
Optimal Root Styling Without Damaging Hair Structure
To style the roots optimally while preserving hair structure, moderate styling is essential. Avoid excessive teasing, as it can lead to hair breakage. Instead, opt for gently lifting the roots using round brushes or volume clips. For a quick volume boost, dry shampoo can be applied to the roots. This not only absorbs excess oil but also provides extra hold and texture. Make sure to massage the product in properly and blow-dry away any excess. To perfect the styling, choose lightweight styling products specifically designed for volume at the roots. Use them sparingly to avoid weighing the hair down, and ensure they are alcohol-free to prevent dryness. By keeping these tips in mind, in addition to your volumizing haircut, your hair will stay voluminous and healthy at the roots for a longer time.
