How Do I Add Volume to My Hair Naturally?
When it comes to creating volume, a single solution may not work for everyone. Often, the right approach is a mix of methods tailored to your unique hair needs. Take your time testing the tips below and you may just build your own go-to volumizing routine:
1. Use the Right Products
The foundation of a healthy, voluminous style starts in the shower. Choosing the right formulas can help protect your hair from damage while delivering essential hydration, without the weight.
Goldie Locks® Signature Shampoo is a protein-free formula that enhances resilience while providing deep, weightless hydration to help strengthen each strand.
Goldie Locks® Signature Conditioner melts into the hair with a moisture-rich formula that deeply hydrates without leaving hair heavy or flat.
Goldie Locks® Volumizing Texture Spray delivers instant volume and body with a matte finish, enhancing thickness while keeping your style touchable and long-lasting.
Goldie Locks® Signature Hair Serum adds brilliant shine and smoothness while reducing frizz. It nourishes each strand without weighing hair down, making it ideal for fine or thinning hair types..
2. Pay Attention to your Scalp
A healthy scalp is essential for healthy, voluminous hair. Regular scalp massage can help stimulate circulation and encourage hair growth. Be mindful not to apply conditioner directly to your roots as this can cause your hair to fall flat.
3. Adjust your Diet
What you eat has a direct impact on the strength and volume of your hair. Ensure your diet is rich in essential vitamins and minerals that support hair health, including:
Incorporate whole foods like fish, eggs, and lean protein sources (such as legumes, poultry, and tofu) to support hair structure, scalp health, and natural shine.
4. Get a Haircut
The right cut can make all the difference. Ask your stylist about adding layers to create natural movement and lift.
Shorter hairstyles, like a lob or bob, are especially effective for fine or thinning hair, as they reduce weight and encourage natural bounce and fullness.
5. Avoid Product Buildup
Overusing styling products or not cleansing them thoroughly, can lead to buildup that weighs hair down. Simplify your routine by removing heavy formulas that may be flattening your strands.
Apply styling products sparingly, starting with a small amount and building up only as needed. To keep your scalp fresh and clean, use Goldie Locks® Clarifying Shampoo once a week to remove buildup without stripping moisture.
6. Switch up your Hair Parting
Wearing your hair the same way every day can train it to lie flat. Try changing your part, it’s one of the easiest ways to instantly boost volume at the roots. Flip it to the opposite side or experiment with a zig-zag part for added texture.
7. Blow Dry your Hair Upside Down
Blow drying your hair upside down helps create natural lift by drying the roots away from the scalp. After brushing your damp hair, flip your head and blow dry using a gentle, consistent motion.
Top Tips to Protect Hair while Blow-drying:
- Always apply Goldie Locks® Blow Dry Spray to protect from heat damage.
- Use lower heat settings whenever possible.
- Keep the dryer at least three inches away and move it continuously to avoid hot spots.
8. Use a Dry Shampoo in Between Washes
Dry shampoo does more than absorb oil, it adds grip, texture, and root lift on non-wash days. Goldie Locks® Dry Shampoo Powder refreshes your style and adds touchable volume between washes. Apply lightly at the scalp and massage in, to revitalize your hair without water or weight.
