Part 1 of 2: Washing your hair to give it volume

1. Use your own hair as a guide. You will need to tweak the basic process of giving your hair volume a bit depending on how greasy and curly your hair is naturally, as well as other factors involved. This will make sure this method works for you. The process should be broadly the same, but pay attention to how your hair behaves and adjust the process accordingly.
   • If you have very thin hair, you may need to use a significant amount of hairspray or some other hair styling product to keep your hair from collapsing. If your hair is a lot thicker, use less hairspray and backcomb your hair more.
   • If you have oily hair, you will usually need to wash it more often (about four or five times) a week to give it more volume. However, in some people, the hair gains a little more volume if they wash it less often.
2. Wash your hair with shampoo. Your hair should be nice and clean when you're trying to give it more volume. Massage a pea-sized amount of shampoo into your scalp and hair follicles, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
   • Know how your body works and wash your hair as often as necessary. In general, it is better to wash your hair a little less often. Washing three or four times a week is enough for most people.
   • Don't wash your hair with very hot water, as this can dry out and make it wispy.
3. Apply conditioner. Conditioner is used to make your hair smooth and soft and can also help give your hair some volume without tangling it up. If you want to emphasize the natural volume of your hair, always use conditioner when you wash your hair.
   • Rinse the conditioner from your hair thoroughly. Run water over your hair several times to make sure all residue is removed. If you don't, your hair may become greasy and limp after shampooing due to the residue of conditioner.
4. Comb your hair back over the area with volume, if desired. To achieve a voluminous style, comb your bangs, side hair, and all other strands of hair back over the volume area and style your hair as usual. If you have teased the hair in the center of your head, comb your bangs back over your head so that the hair lies over the back of your hair and conceals it, but emphasizes the volume. This is how you get a voluminous hairstyle.
