She has tried a lot of things to help volumize it, but these are the couple that she said works best on her hair. Her hair is straight and about midway down her back. She has used that curling shampoo. It didn't curl her hair, but it did lift the roots a bit and added a very subtle wave, but the wave went out after about an hour of walking around. The thing that I have noticed that volumizes her hair the most is when she blow dries her hair, and rubs mousse into her roots and blowdries her roots with her head upside down. Things that make limp hair harder to volumize is too much conditioner. Your friend should shampoo her roots and all the way down to about an inch and a half of her ends and then condition from about an inch and a half from her roots to her ends. Conditioner makes hair smoother, which then makes it harder to volumize. If she wants a wave or curls, she should wash her hair at night, let it airdry, then put it in curlers for curls and buns secured with bobby pins if she wants waves and sleep on them. Then in the morning, she should spray a thin layer of hairspray all over her head, then bend over and shake her hair, then scrunch it with her fingers. Tell her to use volumizing shampoo and conditioner and she can also buy volumizing mousse, gel, and hairspray. [ Ashumms's advice column | Ask Ashumms A Question ]
