To get volume for going out I start in the shower. I wash my hair thouroughly with a clarifying shampoo to get all of the products out. Next I use a light conditioner- but only halfway down to the tips- none on the top of my head or three inches or so below. When I get out I squeeze my hair dry with a towel, comb through it, and then flip it upside down.
Once upside down I get a handful of hair mousse (I like Big Sexy Hair) and massage it into my roots. Then, still upside down, I blowdry my hair from above, toussling the roots and occasionally combing out tangles. Once you flip your hair back over you should have major volume. If you want even more at this point you could put some hot rollers in or... when all else fails, get a comb and start teasing those roots!

I know a great haircut can work wonders for volume but do you beautylish members have any tips or tricks for getting a voluminous hairstyle? I hardly use any product in my hair and sometimes when i try i seem to get a headache or it just gets weighed down and oily pretty quickly. Any advice is appreciated..

I have found out that making a baking soda paste and putting in the hair for about 3 or so minutes the wash as usual. It takes all the build up out then spray on vinegar for shine... it's cheap and it works. And I have a lot of hair and it's uber long.

Remember to rinse your hair at the end of your shower with cool water just to make sure there isn't any residual shampoo that will weigh your hair down. Apply some mousse at your roots while your hair is damp then blow dry it upside down. This always works for me. If you're doing all this and it still doesn't work try switching your shampoo/conditioner to a lighter formula. Another trick is using a bit of dry shampoo at your roots when your hair is dry, it will help give it more volume. :)
