Im a filipina and we usually have flat straight hair, but because i have a round face i need to have volumized hair without giving it any kinds of spraynets or anything. What do i do? Thanks!
I have flat hair too :( When I get out the shower I wait until my hair is just a bit damp and mix got2b 24 Hour Hair Thickener and got2b Fatten Up Thickening Paste in my hand, and then apply it to the crown of my head and work it down to the ends. I use a blow dryer on a medium (heat) setting and a round brush working on the crown first.
You could also go to any beauty supply store and pick up one of those long rectangular combs that have three sets of teeth and use that along with hairspray to tease your hair.
This is the thickest i can get with my hair. Thank you all! I honestly didnt know there was such thing as fatten up thickening paste which is cool. Thank you for all your tips girls! Have a great weekend!
The right layers will help give your hair volume, but some layers will encourage the "skinny" look. Keep the layers longer in front to help elongate your face shape... And make sure you're using a good shampoo. They can often weigh your hair down and dry it out! I recommend Alterna's UV Bamboo shampoo and conditioner, as well as their strand thickener.
When you get out of the shower put some oil or whatever you use. Flip your head upsidedown, collect your hair into a loose bun. The higher you put it more volym you get:) wait until your hair is completely dry!:)

Layers. It will give your hair a bit more texture and make it seem thicker than it is.

Add layers! They give volume to hair, especially layers round your face.
