7 Simple Ways to Get Beautiful Volume in Curly Hair
The best way to fight against Dry and limp curly hair
Many people with medium or long hair experience this problem. You might be using hair products that do not suit your hair. Long hair can also become heavy, which pulls down your curls and makes them look flat. If you have product build-up, your hair may feel heavy and limp. The thickness and number of your hair strands also affect how your hair looks. Thin hair with fine strands often appears limp. There is no quick fix to eliminate limp curly hair overnight. However, there are several ways to make your hair look fuller and less weighed down.
Tips for Adding Volume to Your Hair
While there is no quick fix for limp curly hair, you can try different methods to make your hair look fuller and lighter. Adding lighter highlights can help volumize curls. Here are 10 simple tips to add more volume to your limp curly hair.
Use a lightweight shampoo and conditioner for a good foundation. Shampoo less.
Picking the best shampoo and conditioner for your hair matters. Some products have silicone and polymers that can make your hair heavy. Try not to wash your hair too often. Shampoo removes natural oils, which can leave curls dry and flat.
- A gentle, lightweight cleanser for fine or flat hair
- Boosts volume and weightlessly enhances shine
- Sulfate, phosphate, and paraben-free
