How to get more volume in your hair
Many people want more volume and fullness in their hair. If you’re looking for more volume in your hair, a few small changes to your cut and daily routine can make a real difference.
Start with the right cut
More volume in your hair often starts in the barber’s chair. A layered cut, or slightly shorter length at the ends, help hair stand up better at the roots. Tell your barber directly that you want more volume, that way they can cut it with that in mind and suggest a shape that suits your hair type.
Choose your products wisely
- Use a lightweight shampoo that won’t weigh your hair down
- Try a volumizing spray or mousse before blow drying.
- Choose pastes and vaxes that add shape without flattening your hair
- Dry shampoo at the roots gives a lift on non-wash days too
Blow dry the right way
Tilti your head down while blow drying and dry your hair starting from the roots, this lifts volume more than you’d expect. A diffuser or a large round brush helps too, especially if your hair has some natural curl or wave. For many people, simply changing how they blow dry makes a big difference.
Take care of your hair’s condition
Healthy hair generally looks fuller too. Get your ends trimmed every few months to keep your hair in good condition. A balanced diet and enough sleep also show in your hair, they matter more than people often think. Stress and fatigue can affect your hair’s condition as well, so it’s worth keeping that balance in mind too.

A barber can see your hair’s structure right away and recommend both a cut and products that bring more volume to your specific hair.
