Step 1: Build Volume in the Shower
Key Takeaways
- Shower Prep: Start with clean hair using TRESemmé Full Fiber Volume Shampoo and Conditioner to build a foundation for lift.
- Gentle Drying: Blot hair with a soft T-shirt or microfiber towel to prevent frizz, then apply TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Mousse for body.
- Heat Protection: Air-dry hair 80-90% and always use TRESemmé Thermal Creations Blow Dry Accelerator Heat Spray before heat styling.
- Styling Techniques: Section hair, use a round brush with inward motion, and utilize low heat for a smooth, bouncy finish.
- Root Focus: Concentrate on lifting hair at the crown by blow-drying against its natural direction for maximum height.
- Lasting Hold: Finish with TRESemmé Total Volume Hair Spray to lock in your voluminous style all day without stiffness.
Begin with clean hair, as excess oils, dirt, and sweat can weigh it down, leading to a flat look. Selecting the right products is crucial for achieving your desired voluminous style. To add lift, body, and grip to fine strands, try TRESemmé Full Fiber Volume Shampoo, infused with collagen technology. This formula effectively washes away oils, promoting a naturally fuller appearance. For optimal results and a big, beautiful blowout, pair it with TRESemmé Full Fiber Volume Conditioner. Its lightweight formula preps your scalp, while application to mid-lengths and ends hydrates and smooths for natural movement.
Step 2: Gently Blot Your Hair
Wet hair is delicate; gently squeeze out excess water after showering. To prevent frizz, split ends, and breakage, use a soft T-shirt or microfiber towel to press your hair, avoiding rubbing or tugging. Next, apply a volumizing product like TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Mousse. Distribute it evenly from roots to ends using your hands or a comb for full coverage.
Step 3: Essential Heat Protection
If time allows, air-dry your hair until 80-90% dry to minimize heat damage. When using a blow-dryer, always apply TRESemmé Thermal Creations Blow Dry Accelerator Heat Spray as your final step before any heat styling. This protects your locks and maintains hair health. Remember to blow-dry your hair backwards and away from your face for optimal lift.
Step 4: Advanced Styling Techniques
Achieve a smooth, voluminous blowout with these expert tips:
Section Your Hair
Once hair is mostly dry, section it by securing half on top of your head with clips. Begin blow-drying the bottom layer first.
Blow-Dry with Inward Motion
Place the first section under a round brush. Direct your blow-dryer at the top of the hair section, slowly moving it down to smooth strands. For added volume, pull the brush up and away from your head, avoiding complete wrapping.
Utilize Low Heat Settings
Apply tension with the brush to enhance volume and smoothness, moving the brush and blow-dryer simultaneously. Always use a low heat setting to prevent frizz and maintain hair health.
Engage the ‘Cool Shot’ Button
To set your hairstyle and ensure lasting hold, use your dryer’s cold air setting for a few seconds before releasing hair. Once a section is complete, gently twist the brush out to reveal your bouncy blowout.
Prioritize Root Volume
For maximum lift, focus on the crown of your head, ensuring hair is lifted at the roots. Hold the brush horizontally and blow-dry against the hair’s natural direction to create significant height.
Step 5: Make It Last
For a long-lasting, voluminous hairstyle, select a finishing product that enhances both hold and volume. Mist TRESemmé Total Volume Hair Spray for all-day hold, ensuring no stiffness, stickiness, or flyaways.
