1. Shampoo and condition properly. If mega volume is your goal, be sure you are using a weightless shampoo and conditioner that is specifically formulated for adding volume and bounce. Average shampoos and conditioners can weigh hair down and leave it flat. I recommend Extra Big Volume Shampoo and Conditioner by Big Sexy Hair. Lather up well with the shampoo and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Be sure to remove all shampoo completely when you rinse. You don’t want product build up weighing you down! Then apply your conditioner. Use a very small amount next to your roots and distribute evenly down to the tips of our hair. Add extra on the ends if your ends are dry and damaged. Then rinse completely with lukewarm to cool water.

2. Gently towel dry your hair and comb with a wide tooth comb. Apply a light weight leave in conditioner or detangling spray to your hair if it is extra dry and prone to frizz. Otherwise, skip this step.

3. Allow your hair to air dry a good bit before pulling out the hair dryer. When your locks are damp and no longer soaking wet, apply a thickening hair tonic all over hair and distribute evenly with your comb or brush. Bed Head makes a great thickening tonic called Super Star Thick Massive Hair Tonic.

4. Next apply a root boosting spray or mousse to your roots only. A few good choices are Garnier Fructis XXL Volume Root Booster Spray and Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lifting Spray. Do not over apply, as this will leave your hair sticky and heavy. A little goes a long way.

5. Now blow dry your hair upside down. If you are prone to frizz, blow dry regularly, as upside down drying can roughen your hair cuticles and cause more frizz. Once your hair is dry, roll your strands up into big self grip rollers. Conair makes excellent rollers that do this job well! Spray your hair lightly with a volumizing hair spray all over. Allow rollers to sit in your hair for thirty minutes to an hour. Then remove. 6. Gently separate your hair with your fingers and fluff and smooth if necessary. Try not to brush your hair anymore at this point - you don’t want to brush all of your body out. Top with another light mist of hairspray and a super light spritz of shine spray. Use the lightest shine spray you can find, anything else may be too heavy and leave your hair looking greasy. I recommend Big Sexy Hair Shine Spray.
