Are your tresses sadly flat? Don't fret, according to the experts at Schwarzkopf Professional, these hair salon secrets will have your hair flying high (but not away) in no time flat.

How to Create Hair Volume

Volume is achieved in styling by temporarily forming damp hair with the use of round brushes, styling rollers and backcombing. Hair when wet is pliable and can be formed into new shapes. When the hair is dried, moisture is removed, allowing internal bonds - dissolved when hair is we - to re-form, resulting in a temporary set. This volume effect will be lost when the hair is washed and will also be affected by environmental factors, such as wind and sunlight. The use of styling products can support and prolong a style.

Top Tools for Increasing Hair Volume

Unheated styling tools (styling product, brushes, etc.) themselves are unable to change the way hair looks, with the exception of pins and clips that remain in the hair. They do, however, play an indispensable role in supporting hairstyling processes and manipulating hair in a multitude of different ways.

Heated tools, such as blow-dryers and straightening irons, and unheated tools can be combined with styling products to achieve further results, such as round styling brushes used with a blow-dryer, and rollers with a drying hood.
