The Science Behind Volumising Curly and Wavy Hair

Curly and wavy hair naturally has volume, but heavy products can weigh it down, reducing its bounce and fullness. The right products can help lift the roots and add fullness without making your hair feel heavy.

Reasons for loss of volume

Understanding why your hair might lack volume can help you address the issue more effectively. Here are some common reasons:

• Product Build-Up: Heavy conditioners and styling products can build up on your hair, weighing it down.
• Lack of Proper Care: Not using the right techniques or products can lead to limp, lifeless curls.
• Environmental Factors: Humidity and pollution can affect the volume and health of your hair.
• Improper Washing Techniques: Washing your hair too often or not thoroughly rinsing out products can reduce volume.

Recognising the cause is the first step towards finding the right solution and restoring your hair’s volume and health.

Care Tips for Volumising Curly and Wavy Hair

Effective management of curly and wavy hair revolves around techniques and products that enhance volume and maintain curl definition without weighing the hair down:

• Root Lift: Apply mousse at the roots and blow-dry with a diffuser to create volume at the base.
• Scrunching: Use a curl cream or gel to scrunch your hair while damp, enhancing your natural curl pattern and adding lift.
• Plopping: Use a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt to plop your hair, helping to define curls and boost volume.
• Layering Products: Combine mousse and gel for a mix of volume and hold, ensuring your style stays full and defined.
