I LOVE getting my hair done at a hairdressers, the best part is the wash and blow dry - but I just can't seem to do it on my own. My hair is medium length, and just feels like it hangs there - the only way I can get the 'salon look' is if I use straighteners to curl my ends :(

I want to add volume and luminosity - but how?

Thanks girls!

Try getting an ionic blow dryer with a 1875 watt. Get multiple round brushes of different barrel sizes. Clip away your top most layers and focus on blowing out your bottom layer with the largest sized barrel brush and then work your way up your layers with smaller barrels. When you blow dry be sure to hold your blow dryer to the ends longer than you do near the roots. This will create that blow dry salon look. Hope this helps!

Use product i.e. Paul Mitchell's super skinny line is ahhh-mazing ;) use a big round vent brush (I use Olivia Garden Ceramic Ionic brushes in my salon) and use a concentrator attachment on your blowdryer, it will concentrate (duh lol) the air giving your hair a sleek shiny look :)...for volume I use Big Sexy Hair Root Pump
