There are a minority of people who are born with a volume that completely satisfies their ideals. Some people are worried because their hair is not voluminous, and many people are in trouble because it is too voluminous. It is necessary to take measures according to the hair quality, hair volume, and condition.
I Want to Solve the Problem of Hair Volume!
Hair has various problems, and “volume” is one of them. It doesn’t matter if the hair volume is too large or too small. It is necessary to know the cause of the large or small volume and perform appropriate treatment and self-care. It introduces the problems of hair volume and their solutions.
Hair Volume Worries
CASE1: There is no volume in the hair!
If your hair doesn’t have volume, it will look like you’re not feeling well. In particular, many people are worried about the lack of volume in the hair on the back of the head and the crown. One of the causes of such so-called hair is that the hair is thin. Some are originally thin, while others have thinner hair around the crown as they age. In addition, hair that is not firm or stiff is characterized by the fact that the hair tends to face down as a whole, making it difficult to stand up.
It may also be due to excess sebum on the scalp. When excess sebum is secreted, the scalp becomes sticky, the hair sticks together and becomes heavy, and the hair loses volume. It would be best if you also were careful about hair damage. If the cuticle is peeled off due to the burden of perm and coloring, the elasticity and firmness will be damaged together, and the hair will become thinner.
CASE2: There is too much volume in the hair!
On the other hand, if the hair is too voluminous, it may spread too much sideways, making it difficult to style or look unbalanced. I was calm before going to bed, but it was inflated when I woke up in the morning! I think many people have trouble. The biggest cause of too much volume is a lot of hair. Regardless of the length of the hair, if you have a lot of hair, even short hair tends to spread out.
Hair quality also causes the hair to appear bulging. For curly hair, the volume will be too large due to the swell, and even for straight hair, if the hair is thick and firm, the hair bundles will be difficult to organize and will appear as volume. Hair damage also causes too much volume. Then, the hair becomes dry and spreads, and it looks bulging.
How to Add Volume to Your Hair?
Add volume by devising a cut.
It is possible to increase the volume by cutting at the salon. For example, a volume style is realized by combing from the root on the top layer. Also, you can make the top look relatively voluminous for short hair and bobby, making the neckline and side hair lighter and finishing the bottom compactly. The treatment method changes depending on the hair quality and length, so be sure to consult with a hairdresser.
Perm to volume
When it comes to volume with a perm, you will want to apply it to the hair on the back of the head and crown from the root, but this method is not always effective. The hair at the roots rises, but healthy hair at the roots is easy to remove perms, and damage is also a concern. Rather, by applying a perm to the ends of the hair, you can raise the hair at the root naturally. The movement at the ends of the hair adds a careless movement to the roots, adding volume. If you have long hair, you should get the same effect by applying it from the middle to the tip of the hair. First of all, let’s talk with a beautician about what kind of perm is suitable.
Volume up with treatment!
There are also treatments such as keratin treatment that are effective in increasing volume. Depending on the hair quality, you can expect the same effect as a cut or perm, making it difficult to divide. Some salons offer volume-up treatments, and some do not, so consult with a beautician first.
If you blow at the salon, you can expect an immediate increase in volume!
Even with a blow that uses the brush properly, you can temporarily add a considerable volume. If you blow at the salon, you can keep it for a long time! I want to use the salon hair set if you have a date, a party, or a little outing.
Produce volume by yourself!
By blowing to raise the root, it is possible to increase the volume, even by self. Blow the entire hair against gravity. Especially for the back of the head and the top of the head, use a brush to remove the hair bundles and pull them forward to blow the air from the dryer. However, it is not easy to put the brush correctly on the back of the head and the top of the head. If that doesn’t work, you can turn your head down. If you turn your hair upside down and lightly pull it down with a hairdryer, the roots will rise easily.
Magic curlers and hot curlers are also recommended to create volume with styling. Take the top hair bundle (about 1.5 cm thick) and wrap it from the tip to the root. In the case of hot curlers, heat with a dryer. You have to remove the curlers and use a handgrip or brush to arrange them!
How to increase the volume with hair arrangement?
It is often thought to be effective to raise “backcombing” to create volume, but a simpler and more reliable method is the “breaking” arrangement. After putting them together, gradually pinch the hair with your fingertips and pull it out to create volume. The amount of volume can be adjusted freely, so it is easy to arrange, and it is highly recommended.
How to Reduce the Volume of Hair?
Volume down with cut
If you have too much volume in your hair, you can reduce the volume depending on the cut, such as partially adjusting the amount of hair or adding sharpness. So, if you tell the beautician that you want to reduce the volume, it’s OK. However, don’t simply ask, “I want you to comb your hair”! The appropriate treatment method depends on the length of the hair, the quality of the hair, and the degree of damage. If you have straight hair and healthy hair, you can comb the hair, and even if the treatment is OK, it often swells the next morning. In addition, damaged hair can easily become entangled and can easily become cut or split ends. Let’s leave it to a beautician you can trust!
Straight perm & straightening
A straight perm is also recommended if you are in trouble because of too much volume due to habitual hair. Originally, it was for removing waves, but it makes it easier to get rid of loose perms and straightened hair. However, it may have the opposite effect depending on how the hair is damaged, so consult with your hairdresser. If you have strong curly hair, we also recommend trying straightening your hair. The heat treatment will increase the damage and cost, but the swell will be eliminated, making the hair easier to style.
Moisturize your hair with treatments
Dry hair has the characteristic of swelling when it absorbs moisture. That is why hair tends to swell during the rainy season. Proper moisturizing care with treatments can reduce the volume caused by dryness.
If you blow at the salon, the volume will be reduced immediately!
A hairdresser who handles brushes and hair dryers in all directions, such as putting the brush inside the hair and wrapping it around, can significantly reduce the volume. It lasts for a long time, so I’d like to ask the hairdresser who is always in charge of this to set the hair.
Suppress the volume by yourself!
Moisturizing is effective in reducing the volume caused by drying. If you tend to dry your hair, you may want to change the shampoo you usually use. Make sure to choose the one that suits your hair quality and damage. It is also recommended to take-home treatments two or three times a week. Also, after washing your hair, let’s dry it immediately. Dry from top to bottom and from the root to the tip of the hair. Blow the air from the dryer from above or from the side, and when the roots are dry, use a Denman brush that reduces volume instead of using a roller brush. It is also effective to pull the hair with your hands to dry it lightly. When it is about 80% dry, switch to cold air to cool the heat of your hair. The shape is memorized, and it becomes difficult to swell.
How to reduce volume with hair arrangement?
It’s difficult to arrange hair with voluminous hair. However, if you divide the hair into parts and arrange it, it will be relatively smooth. Divide the back into the center, the upper part of the side, the lower part, and the collar, and arrange each one. It is better to create a tight silhouette on the side by crocheting.
If You Can Adjust the Volume, You Will Feel Better!
Hair volume is an important factor that determines your first impression. Whether you want to increase or decrease the volume, you want to take good care of yourself at the salon or at home and always keep it 100%. First of all, it is indispensable to create a style that suits the hair quality and damaged condition. Talk with your beautician about hairstyles and care methods to get the right volume for you.
