- Hey everyone, Kayley here.
Today, we're gonna talk about volume without extensions.
(upbeat music)
So, many of you guys have told me that you want to see
more volume in your hair, specifically Chloe lp
commented on one of my videos and 100 of you guys
agreed with her that you wanted to see more volume.
So, I'm gonna show you guys my tips and tricks.
Now, this is the whole kit and kaboodle.
This is everything and I don't really do
all of these steps unless I'm really going for it.
So, this is more of a guide for you.
This is more to show you all the different tips
and tricks that you can use and you can pick out
whichever of those seems to work best for you.
So, at the end of the day, I want you to pick
tips and tricks that work for your routine and your hair.
So, I hope you guys like this video.
Let's get right into it.
When you're in the shower, I recommend that you
massage your roots with the shampoo.
Your roots are where everything builds up
and causes your hair to be weighted down.
So, when you massage it, it breaks up all that
and gives you more volume.
And then, only apply conditioner to your ends.
If you apply conditioner towards your roots,
you can actually cause them to be weighed down
a little bit more by the moisture in your conditioner.
Now, let's move on to when your hair is wet.
First, I like to apply a product that adds
volume by swelling the hair.
The one I'm using today is the Kristin Ess
Thickening Spray.
Next, I like to apply a volumizing mousse
to stack and shape the hair.
Basically what mousse does is it coats each hair
so instead of the hairs kinda sitting like this,
they have a little bit of air to them,
but it also adds shape so that as you're drying your hair,
you're drying it upside down,
it helps it to kind of hold that more
voluminous position.
Then, if your hair tends to frizz, I recommend
using a lightweight serum.
Don't go straight for the oil or anything heavy.
Keep it light, keep it breezy,
just a nice, light serum will do the best things for you.
So now, onto drying your hair.
The whole goal here is to create volume at the roots
by confusing them, making them think that gravity
wants them to go that way.
That way, when they are back down,
you have a little bit of volume.
So, one of the first ways to do that and the really
easy way is to part your hair on your opposite side
that you want it to be when it's dry.
That way, when you flip it back over,
you have more volume.
Then, if your hair is on the silkier side
and you can get away with it, just dry your hair
in every direction possible.
So, I flip my hair upside down
and dry it that way.
I'll flip it to the side and the other side.
Root confusion is kind of the goal there.
But that can cause frizz if your hair is a little
prone to it.
So, if your hair is prone to frizz,
I actually recommend that you use your brush
and your dryer and brush your hair against the grain.
So kinda of up and over and that way,
your brush is actually smoothing the hair
while your dryer is helping to set in the volume.
Now, when it's dry, one of the first things
I love to do is add in a texturizing spray
and those are best through your roots
and the middle of your hair to really kind of pull out
this area and give a lot of fullness.
And now, you don't have to curl your hair.
This will give you voluminous straight or whatever
natural texture you have.
But if you want to add a curl, I like to go in
little sections at a time in opposite directions.
The little sections at a time gives you
a bigger number of curls,
so it looks like your hair is fuller
and going in opposite directions means
the curls will sit on top of each other
instead of intertwining together and looking
a little slimmer.
When they're all stacked on top, it looks bigger.
And finally, I like to use a really lightweight hairspray.
Obviously, you don't wanna go for anything that's like
shellacking your hair.
And then as I apply it, I scrunch to really set in the curls
or you can kind of pull the hair away from your head
and spray that way so that when it falls down,
it has that memory that it's supposed to be kind of
more rounded.

And there you go, my favorite tips, tricks
and products to get more volume in your hair.
I hope you guys enjoy this bonus tip.
These are gonna help your braids to pull apart better too
because your hair's a little bit more obedient
and resilient, so give these a try
if you want bigger braids as well.
