Are Hair Extensions The Only Way to Add Volume To Your Hair?

Posted by Kapellohairuk on September 7th, 2013

A little volume goes a long way when you want an easy, polished look. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to get the lift you want when you have long, or even medium length, hair. But don’t fret: cutting off your length is not your only option. Try a few of these tricks, from simple styling to pre bonded or micro ring hair extensions, and you can achieve great heights!

Sometimes, small fixes are all you need. You might try switching to a volumising or a thickening line of shampoo and conditioner. Only use conditioner on the ends of your hair, because avoiding the roots will help keep extra weight from flattening your hairstyle. After your shower, apply a lightweight mousse, or thickening spray at the roots, and then pull your hair up while you blow-dry toward your scalp. The mousse will help hold your roots off of your scalp, giving you natural looking volume around your crown. You can spritz on a light hairspray for extra hold, but don’t overdo it: too much product will get too heavy and take you back to square one.

Dry shampoo is a girl’s best friend on non-shampoo days. Over-shampooing, or shampooing every day, can strip hair of the natural oils that keep it healthy; however, if you struggle with limp, lifeless hair, the accumulated oils can weigh you down even more. Dry shampoo soaks up excess grease without over-drying your hair, and it gives a soft hold. Spray it at the roots, and style as desired.

Teasing with a comb near your roots, and then smoothing hair over with a short-bristled brush can give even the droopiest hair a nice lift, however the process can cause damage and breakage. Try back-combing with a flat backed brush for a similar effect, and fewer consequences.

Of course, the right cut and style for your hair can go a long way. Layers add movement to heavy textures, while blunt cuts make fine hair appear thicker. It’s best to discuss your needs, noting good and bad cuts you’ve had, with your hairstylist. In between cuts, move your part around, so that your roots stand taller.

You can attain longer lasting volume, not to mention extra length and density, by asking your hairstylist to apply pre bonded or micro ring extensions to your natural hair. Kapello Hair offers premium quality pre bonded, and micro ring hair extensions in several lengths and colours to match your needs. The discrete attachment site, which should be no more than two inches away from your scalp, will give you a natural looking lift around your crown. For ultimate fullness, you should ask for 100-150 hair extensions. Both pre bonded, and micro ring extensions can last an incredible nine months with good care; imagine nine months without worrying about volume!

It is possible to achieve gorgeous volume without losing the length of your hair. If you try hair extensions, you can actually add to your length. Don’t let your hair fall flat this season.
