How to Add Volume to Hairstyles for Fine Hair

Lots of women have baby-fine hair, and when they choose hairstyles for fine hair they insist on wearing it long. With volume being one of the top trends for fall, we spoke to Francky L’Official of his namesake salon in NYC for tips on how to pump things up.

• Get the right haircut.“Adding layers is a great way to add volume and fullness to long, fine hair,” he says.“For an extra boost, you can texturize the top and bottom.
• For a full, smooth style, L’OffiCial suggests applying a small amount of mousse like L’Oreal Tex Aero Mousse, and blow-drying hair with a large round brush. “After finishing the blow-dry, I like to use four or five rollers on top layers for about five minutes.”
• To create big, fat curls, L’Oreal Tex Hot Style Curling Iron Fix is his product of choice. “I’ll use it with a medium-sized curling iron to achieve a fun, glamorous hairstyle.”
• While you might be tempted to back-comb hair to fatten it up, L’Official gives teasing a thumbs-down.“I’ve found that it can create an unnatural look,” he says. “The trend now is to use something like rollers or a curling iron to add volume to hairstyles for fine hair.”
