Steps To Blow Dry Hair for Bouncy Volume

Here are some steps that help you blow dry hair for bouncy volume.

Step 1: Wash your hair with products that add volume

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: the shower is where you should start if you want your hair to have volume. Using the appropriate shampoo and conditioner on your hair will help you achieve the maximum volume possible.

Our Full Shampoo and Conditioner have been designed specifically for those with fine hair in order to help it appear and feel as though it has a more natural bouncy volume.

Step 2: Blot Dry

After you step out of the shower, you will move on to the following step in the process of achieving the perfect blowout. Because wet hair is extremely fragile, it is essential to dry it carefully using a technique that is known as “blot drying.”

Instead of roughly rubbing your hair with a terry towel, try blotting it dry with the towel instead. Even better, grab a towel made of microfiber and allow it to soak up the moisture while you finish getting dressed or going through your skincare routine.

Step 3: Apply Product

The next step is to give your hair as much help as you can so that it can achieve its goal of becoming fuller and more buoyant.

This means using some products that are designed specifically for adding volume to performance-ready hair. If you want to give your hair more bouncy volume at the roots while keeping it flexible and touchable, we suggest beginning with Living Proof’s Root Lift on damp hair.

Step 4: Prep It

Allow as much time as you can for your hair to dry naturally prior to using a blow dryer in order to protect it from the excessive heat. Applying heat protectant spray to your hair as the final step in getting it ready to be styled with a hair dryer is the final step in getting your hair ready.

You will also receive the benefit of heat protection if you use the Root Lift and/or the Thickening Mousse, which will allow you to skip this step.

Step 5: Flip Upside Down

When you first start drying your hair with the blow dryer, don’t do it the way you normally would. Instead, turn your head over and rough dry your hair from the bottom up. This will give you the best results. To achieve such incredible hair volume, this step is absolutely necessary.

Wrapping Up

Shine and bouncy volume can be added to hair of any length or thickness with the use of a blow dryer. However, in order to avoid damaging your hair with heat, you will need to ensure that the proper technique is utilized and that adequate protection is taken.

You should get some practice blow drying your hair before you want to do your hair for an important occasion, though. Practice makes perfect.
