What you need
Steps
Start with clean, fully dry hair. Apply a heat protectant spray from mid-lengths to ends so the hot tools do not fry your hair.
Divide your hair into sections. Clip up the top half and work on the lower layers first so you do not miss any strands.
Wrap a section around a round brush and pull it taut. Aim the dryer down the hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and add shine.
Roll the brush up toward your scalp and hold the heat there for a few seconds. Let the section cool before unwinding it.
Repeat on each section around your head, working from the bottom up to the crown. Keep the tension firm for maximum volume.
Set the top sections in Velcro rollers or pin curls while you finish the rest. This locks in lift at the roots.
Remove the rollers and use your fingers to break up the curls. Do not brush them out or you will lose the volume.
Finish with a light mist of hairspray, holding the can about 20 cm from your head. Flip your head over for extra root lift.
Tips and common mistakes
Let each section cool completely before unwinding it, since heat sets the shape and cooling holds it.
Point the dryer nozzle downward to smooth the cuticle instead of ruffling it.
Use small sections for more lift, especially around the crown and face.
Do not overload with product, as heavy sprays weigh fine hair down.
Questions
Do I need a special blow dryer?
No. A regular blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle works fine. The round brush and sectioning matter more than the dryer model.
How do I keep volume in fine hair?
Set the roots with rollers or clips while the hair cools, then use a light hold spray. Avoid heavy creams near the scalp.
Can I do this on wet hair?
Rough dry your hair to about 80 percent first. Blow drying soaking wet hair takes longer and gives less control.
