Boost Your Hair’s Volume: Tips from Capone’s Barber

January 17, 20243 min read

Welcome to Capone’s Barber, where we believe that everyone deserves a hairstyle that’s full of life and volume. Whether your hair is fine, limp, or just in need of a little lift, we’ve got the tips and tricks to help you achieve that enviable fullness. Here’s how you can add volume to your hair and keep it looking vibrant.

1. Choose the Right Haircut

The right haircut can make a world of difference in adding volume to your hair. Here are some styles that work wonders:

  • Layers: Adding layers creates movement and the illusion of fullness. Ask your barber for face-framing layers to add volume around your face.

  • Blunt Cut: For fine hair, a blunt cut at the ends can make your hair look thicker and more voluminous.

  • Pixie Cut: Shorter styles like a pixie cut can give the appearance of more volume, especially with textured or choppy layers.

2. Use Volumizing Products

Incorporate volumizing products into your hair care routine to give your hair a lift:

  • Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner: Start with a lightweight, volumizing shampoo and conditioner that won’t weigh your hair down.

  • Mousse: Apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair before blow-drying to add body and lift.

  • Root Lifter: Use a root-lifting spray or powder directly at the roots to create instant volume.

3. Master the Blow-Dry Technique

Blow-drying your hair the right way can significantly boost volume. Follow these steps:

  • Blow-Dry Upside Down: Flip your head upside down while blow-drying to lift the roots and add volume.

  • Round Brush: Use a round brush to lift sections of your hair at the roots while blow-drying.

  • Cool Shot: Finish with a cool shot of air to set the volume and add shine.

4. Try Hair Extensions

If you want an instant boost in volume, consider hair extensions. Clip-in or tape-in extensions can add both length and fullness, giving you a voluminous look without waiting for your hair to grow.

5. Tease Your Hair

Teasing, or backcombing, can add significant volume to your hair. Here’s how to do it:

  • Section Your Hair: Take a small section of hair and hold it up.

  • Backcomb: Using a fine-tooth comb, gently backcomb the hair toward the roots.

  • Smooth Over: Smooth the top layer to hide the teased sections.

6. Use Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo isn’t just for refreshing your hair between washes—it’s also a great volumizer. Spray it at your roots and massage it in to absorb oil and add lift.

7. Opt for Velcro Rollers

Velcro rollers are an old-school but highly effective way to add volume:

  • Section Hair: Divide your hair into sections.

  • Roll Hair: Roll each section onto a Velcro roller, starting at the ends and rolling up to the roots.

  • Let Set: Leave the rollers in for at least 30 minutes, then remove for voluminous curls.

8. Sleep with Your Hair Up

Sleeping with your hair in a high ponytail or loose bun can help maintain volume overnight. Use a scrunchie or a soft hair tie to avoid creasing and breakage.

9. Get Regular Trims

Regular trims prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy and full. Visit Capone’s Barber every 6-8 weeks to maintain your style and volume.

10. Consult the Experts at Capone’s Barber

Our experienced barbers at Capone’s Barber are here to help you achieve maximum volume with personalized advice and professional styling. Whether you need a new cut, expert product recommendations, or a volumizing treatment, we’ve got you covered.

Conclusion

Adding volume to your hair doesn’t have to be a challenge. With the right haircut, products, and techniques, you can achieve a full, vibrant look that lasts.
