I have naturally thin hair myself and I have done everything from extensions to all the shampoos that they swear by nothing seems to work. Over the years of being a hair stylist I have figured out ways to make your hair look and feel fuller. The more volume the better! If you curl your whole head layer by layer that is a instant full look. Now I know most of us with thin hair cant hold a curl to save our lives. After you shampoo you need to put a good amount of gel or moose in your hair and blowdry it. Not so much that it get the crunchy texture though that’s a little extreme. Once you blowdry use a LIGHT layer of hairspray before you curl each section. If your hair really won’t hold a curl pin up each curl with metal clips( you can find them at any beauty supply) as you go. Another way is to use a thickening cream or spray my favorite is from kenra it makes your hair feel fuller as soon as you blowdry. When you blowdry make sure you do it in a upward direction instead of down to give you a fuller look.

 Another quick and easy way is clip in hair extensions! These are my favorite because its affordable and come in and out so you don’t have to deal with the permanent extensions that get very expensive to keep up. I recommend real human hair so you can curl straighten and do whatever you want to them. These add instant volume and thickness and of course length if your hair is on the shorter side. Be careful if you have shorter hair you can create a mullet look. When getting clip in make sure there are side pieces and put it on each side so you dont get the mullet effect!

 
Beach Waves are another way to look like you have a lot of hair. These are good to use cause you can have the tight waves to loose. The looser they waves are the more hair it looks like you have. To achieve this look section your hair and wrap your hair around a curling iron ( size of curling iron determines how tight you want the wave) hold it for about 10 seconds and do this to your whole head. When you are finished lightly spray you hair and them gently brush through the waves with your fingers for a loose wave look.

1. Wash your hair with your favorite shampoo and conditioner that is for your hair texture. If you color your hair or is naturally dry or frizzy you should be using a good hydrating shampoo and conditioner.
2. Towel blot your hair NEVER rub your hair with a towel this will cause more frizz and you may end up breaking your hair. Next use a medium hold gel or mousse and apply it from the crown and down. (ears and down) Comb through the product so it is distributed evenly all over. Never put gels, mousse, or heat protectant oils directly on your roots because it will cause your hair to look oily or if your wanting volume it will weigh it down.
3.Blowdry your hair on medium heat. If you have naturally or wavy hair use a diffuser working with 2? sections until hair is dry. If you have straight hair blowdry with the nozzle pointing down and don’t shake back and forth it causes frizz. To create more volume use a round brush when your hair is 85% dry. Your going to direct the round brush and blowdryer straight up. If you want added volume go straight up and out toward your forehead for the most volume. To set the volume right before your about the take the brush off the strand blast it with cool air.
4. If you used a diffuser and are happy with the way they came out begin wrapping curls around your fingers for a little more definition and placing them where you want them to lay. You can also take a curling iron to the stands to make them more defined.
If you have straight hair section out the bottom of your hair and take a 1/2 inch curling iron ( you can use as small or as big of a curling iron just depends on how tight of a curl you want) and start wrapping it around the barrel of the curling iron. Never use a section that is bigger than the barrel of your curling iron. When doing this look only wrap about half way up the section to leave the top of your hair sleek and smooth. Continue this section by section layer by layer. Keep the same section size through out your hair for a flawless look.
5. When finished with the top layer spray with a good holding spray. I like to spray layer by layer and again when I am finished for a better hold. To loosen up the curls run your fingers gently through your hair to break them up just a little bit. Never brush through the curls especially if you have natural curly hair because it will become very frizzy and poofy
