Hairdressers are laughing at your hair: 10 secret tricks for instant volume

Thin hair is not a death sentence if you know the secrets that turn a “mouse tail” into a luxurious mane.

Forget about straight partings - they make your hair look flat, like pancakes without yeast. Instead, move the parting line to the side or create a zigzag - this will add the illusion of thickness even without a flat iron.

And to prevent the roots from lying like a “rag”, arm yourself with… a toothbrush! Carefully comb the strands at the very roots, moving the parting a couple of centimeters each time - this way the volume will be uniform, and not a “magpie’s nest”.

When washing fine hair, there is an ironclad rule: shampoo only on the roots, conditioner only on the ends. If you lather the entire length, the ends will turn into straw, and the heavy roots will lose their volume.

But you need to dry your hair upside down, directing the hair dryer at the roots - this life hack will make them "stand on end", as after a professional styling.

Length matters! Long, thin hair loses volume under its own weight, so shoulder-length haircuts or bobs with multi-layered graduation are your must have.

Hairdressers advise avoiding straight cuts: chaotic layers create an airy effect, even if the hair is naturally thin.

And if you don’t want to part with the length, cheat with the coloring: shatush or balayage techniques will highlight individual strands, creating a 3D effect.

Choosing styling products is a real quest. Forget about oils and gels that turn your hair into icicles. Your allies are light foams and sprays marked "volume".

And also - dry shampoo, which absorbs oil at the roots and works as an invisible frame. Just spray it on clean hair and fluff it up with your fingers - your hairstyle will last all day, as if you just left the salon.

The most radical, but win-win option is to curl the ends with a curling iron or create soft waves.

And don’t be afraid to experiment: sometimes it’s enough to change your parting and dry your hair upside down so that people around you ask: “How did you achieve such volume?”
