How To Get The Look
Whatever your hair type, you can encourage greater volume by using cleansing and conditioning products specifically designed to increase the dimension of each individual hair - particularly useful if you're in the fine-to-normal category.
Create extra volume by blow-drying your hair with your head held upside down. Blast at the roots of your hair and also sweep a vent brush through each section.
Invest in some body building style products such as volume root lift spray and spray gel. These products are designed to revitalise fine, limp, flyaway hair.
