10 Essential Tips & Remedies for Gorgeous, Voluminous Hair

Whether you’re battling flat roots, fine strands, or simply craving more lift, these ten expert-backed tips and DIY remedies will help you achieve your healthiest, most voluminous hair yet. Plus, discover how COLOR WOW Raise the Root Thicken and Lift Spray can become your secret weapon for instant, weightless root lift that lasts all day.

1. Choose the Right Shampoo & Conditioner

Opt for volumizing, sulfate‑free formulas that cleanse without stripping natural oils. Sulfate-free cleansers help maintain your hair’s moisture balance, preventing limp, lifeless locks. Follow with a lightweight conditioner—apply only mid‑shaft to ends to avoid weighing down your roots.

2. Exfoliate Your Scalp Regularly

Just like your skin, your scalp benefits from exfoliation. A gentle scalp scrub or brush once a week removes buildup of product, oil, and dead skin cells, encouraging healthy follicle function. Massage in circular motions for 1–2 minutes before rinsing to boost circulation and promote stronger growth.

3. Boost Volume at the Roots with COLOR WOW Raise the Root

For an instant, gravity‑defying lift, spray COLOR WOW Raise the Root Thicken and Lift Spray directly onto damp roots. Its ultra‑fine powders cling to each strand, creating natural‑looking volume without stiffness or residue. Simply mist at the root zone, comb through, then blow‑dry—watch your hair transform from flat to full in seconds.

4. Deep‑Condition with Nourishing Hair Masks

Once a week, treat your strands to a restorative mask. DIY options include:

• Coconut Oil & Honey: Mix 2 tbsp melted coconut oil with 1 tbsp honey.

• Avocado & Olive Oil: Mash ½ ripe avocado with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  Apply from mid‑shaft to ends, leave on for 20–30 minutes under a shower cap, then shampoo and condition as usual. These ingredients penetrate deeply, repairing damage and adding shine.

5. Avoid Overwashing—Use Dry Shampoo

Washing too often strips natural oils, leaving hair dull and prone to breakage. Aim to shampoo 2–3 times per week. On off days, refresh roots with a light dry shampoo spray—lift hair at the crown, mist at the base, and massage in to absorb oil and restore body.

6. Protect from Heat & Master Your Blow‑Dry Technique

Before heat styling, always apply a heat protectant spray. When blow‑drying, flip your head upside down for extra lift at the roots, or use a round brush to pull hair upward. Finish with a blast of cool air to set the volume and seal the cuticle for long‑lasting bounce.

7. Nourish Your Hair from Within

Healthy hair starts on the inside. Incorporate protein‑rich foods (eggs, legumes), omega‑3 fatty acids (salmon, flaxseed), and biotin‑boosters (nuts, whole grains) into your diet. Staying hydrated is key, too—aim for at least eight glasses of water daily to support hair growth and strength.

8. Schedule Regular Trims

Split ends travel up the hair shaft, causing breakage and frizz. Trim your hair every 8–12 weeks to remove damaged ends and maintain shape. Even if you’re growing your hair long, a small dusting of just ¼–½ inch keeps strands looking fresh and healthy.

9. Switch to Silk Pillowcases & Protective Styles

Cotton pillowcases can tug at hair, causing friction and breakage overnight. Silk or satin pillowcases allow hair to glide smoothly, reducing frizz and split ends. For extra protection, loosely braid your hair or tie it in a soft, low bun before bed to minimize tangles.

10. Try These Quick DIY Remedies

• Aloe Vera Gel: Apply pure gel to scalp to soothe irritation and strengthen strands.

• Green Tea Rinse: Steep 2 bags in 1 cup hot water, cool, and rinse hair post‑shampoo for antioxidant benefits.

• Egg & Yogurt Protein Mask: Whisk 1 egg with 2 tbsp plain yogurt, apply to hair, and rinse after 20 minutes for added protein.

Achieving full‑bodied, healthy hair is all about consistent care—cleansing smart, nourishing deeply, and protecting your strands from damage. And when you need that extra boost of lift and texture, COLOR WOW Raise the Root Thicken and Lift Spray has you covered. With its weightless, powder‑based formula, you’ll enjoy salon‑worthy volume from root to tip—no backcombing required.
