Happy September Loves! So, today I want to share my new favorite volumizing hair products. I am in no way a hair guru. If anything, I’m the girl wearing mink lashes and a mom ponytail. Rather than just accepting the fact that I am stuck with flat thin hair, I have been trying new things in hopes that one day I will have good hair.
Here is a roundup of some products and tools that have given my sad hair hope!
My hair is very fine and pretty thin. The key is using very lightweight products.
Volumizing shampoo and conditioner is a must. I shampoo twice and only apply conditioner from the nape of my neck to the ends to avoid any unnecessary weight on my limp locks. The lemongrass shampoo and conditioner from MOP is a recent fave of mine. The brand is cruelty free which I love! I also adore the modern packaging and happy yellow label. I’ve been using this stuff for about two months and haven’t even used half of it, so a little bit goes a long way!
For the past month, I’ve been spraying a volumizing product on my roots and have definitely noticed the difference. This one by Abba is lightweight and smells clean (not perfume-y). I also like the thickening spray by Bumble and Bumble. Sometimes Sephora has it as an option to choose from as a deluxe sample.
A round brush is always needed to straighten my wavy hair. I swear, I’ve tried them all. Ceramic, ionic, wide barrel, narrow barrel, you name it, I’ve used it. I’ve thrown away a ton of money just to find what works.
This one by Centrix that Cricket sent me is different from any round brush I’ve tried. The end of the barrel can twist open to allow air from the blow dryer to flow through and increase volume for hair like mine. When it’s closed, the barrel heats up and acts like a curling iron which works best on thick or course hair that needs more heat to style. It’s affordable too (under $25). * Tip: Dry your hair with the barrel open then finish with it closed to lock in the style.
When you just don’t have time to wash & blowdry, spray your roots with some dry shampoo and gently back comb with a teasing brush. I like this one from Cricket (under $5 at Ulta) . It combines boar and nylon bristles to create various degrees of volume. I use this on the crown of my head and smooth over the top. If the dry shampoo isn’t cutting it, this brush does double duty by making your slicked back ponytail bump free.
Some (not all) of the products above were sent to me to test out (a few didn’t make the cut). I was not paid to write this post.
