Turn up the volume.
We all want thick, full hair. But the truth is, not all of us are born with it! And while there are many factors that can affect the health of your hair and impact its volume, It's not just about genetics—the health of your hair can play a major role in how thick your mane looks. We're here to offer some tips on how to prevent breakage and achieve the big hair you've always wanted.
Firstly, what should you avoid?
Avoid chemical exposure whenever possible. The use of products containing chemicals such as parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde, and isopropyl alcohol can make the hair weak and brittle. Similarly, keratin treatment, hair dyes, or bleaching of the hair can contribute to hair fall due to the chemicals involved.
Improper hair care - Excessive heat damage (blow-drying or ironing), not shampooing the hair regularly enough with a gentle shampoo, and tugging on your hair can lead to damage that causes breakage.
So what should you do?
Clarify your hair - Your products might be weighing your hair down. If you have found that your hair is always flat at the roots, it might be due to product build up from moisturisers and stylers, or hard water residue. Clarify your hair by thoroughly washing off any excess product and take it easy with the amount of product you apply on your hair. Our 2-in-1 Charcoal Wash will thoroughly cleanse your scalp from product build up while our 2-in-1 Moisturising Wash will ensure that you deeply cleanse while retaining moisture.
Use products with ingredients that add volume - Ingredients such as vitamins B5, C, E, sunflower, almond, shea butter and coconut oils all help add volume and body.
It all comes down to finding the right method or combination of methods (that work best with your hair type). In the end, it may take some trial and error to figure out what methods are best for your hair type, but once you do, sticking to them will help you get that voluminous look that seems to be so elusive.
