How-to: Full Volume Hair

When it comes to hair, nothing is worse than having it lay flat against your face. It's always nice to have volume and I'll show you a quick, easy way to achieve it!

Here's the finished result:

My sister has an average amount of hair, so it doesn't really matter if your hair is thick or thin.

(Sorry about my sister; she's incapable of making a serious face and was laughing.)

What you'll need:

1. Double Prong Curl Clips (you can get these at Sally's Beauty Supply for $2.19, but bobby-pins would also work.)

2. Boar Bristle Round Brush (I got mine at a professional beauty supply store, but you can find these at Sally's Beauty Supply or in most stores that sell beauty products.)

3. Blow-dryer

4. Hairspray

5. Any clip to clip hair out of the way

6 (Optional). Volumizing Mousse (You can use any brand you'd like, but I used Beyond The Zone Thick Enuff Mousse - $5.99 - Sally's Beauty Supply)

Step 1: Brush your hair to remove all tangles and knots.

Step 2: Part your hair according to where you like to wear it.

Step 3 (Optional): Apply volumizing mousse to your roots and comb down through ends.

Step 4: Section the front off from the back.

Step 5: Start taking sections and blow dry them using your round brush.

Step 6: Wrap the ends of the hair around your fingers and start rolling it up about halfway.

Step 7: Clip the hair using a double prong clip.

Step 8: Do this until you have the top section left on each side. 

Step 9: Take the two remaining top sections from each side, and blow dry and clip them back.

Step 10: In the back, take a small section and clip up the remaining hair.

Step 11: Start taking sections and roll them up.

Step 12: Continue until all of your hair is rolled up. It's okay if there are loose strands of hair and it looks messy. 

Step 13: Spray your whole head using a light hairspray.

Step 14: Let sit for a few minutes.

Step 15: Remove all clips.

Step 16: Run your fingers through your hair and tousle it up a bit.
