1. Wash your hair
Before anything, wash your hair and make sure it’s semi-dry.
2. Apply a hair primer
Apply a hair primer product to your hair. This helps reduce drying time and protects your hair from split ends. If you use heat on your hair, this is a must! I’m using this tried and tested Gisou primer.
Squeeze a small portion onto your hands, distribute the product evenly on your fingers, then run it through your hair.
3. Carefully brush your hair
While your hair is still a bit wet, carefully brush your hair. I use a Tangle Teezer brush, as I find it’s gentler and doesn't pull my hair while brushing.
4. Dry your hair
You can either let your hair air dry (if you have time) or if you really need to speed up the process, go ahead and use a hairdryer.
5. Use a hair crimper
Now, this is where the magic starts! To add volume to fine hair, use a…. hair crimper! That’s right!
To make this look as natural as possible, basically separate the top layer of your hair and start working the layers underneath.
Start from the back, working your way around. Crimp your hair from the roots. Do this inch by inch.
Then, work your way down until you reach the middle length of your hair.
You’ll already be able to see a huge difference after you’ve crimped on one side of your hair.
Now, repeat the process on the other side.
7. Brush your hair again
Once the crimping process is complete, brush your hair.
8. Apply some hair oil
Add some oil to add extra shine and make your hair look even more lustrous. Here, I am using the Gisou honey-infused hair oil.
A small amount really goes a long way. Pay attention to the ends and gently dab your roots after.
9. Apply hair spray with a brush
Here’s the final touch, a little hair spray! Spray the hairspray onto a big makeup brush. Then, gently stroke the brush onto your hair and hairline to remove the extra “fuzz.”
This little trick definitely gives you a sleek look!
So, that’s it! Can you see an amazing difference? Just a few simple tricks and you have yourself volumized hair!
You don’t need to buy hundreds of expensive products to add volume to hair. Just set 20 minutes aside from your hair care routine to add volume to fine hair in no time!
Thanks for tuning in, and happy volumizing!

What is a hair primer? Do I need to go to a beauty supply store to buy it?
