Sick of your flat, lifeless hair? I’ve been there! Here’s how I manage to give some life and volume to my thin, flat hair while in France.
Here are some haircare tips to save your flat hair like the French!
- Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner: Look for shampoos and conditioners formulated with ingredients like biotin, proteins, or sea salt to help add volume and lift to the hair.
- Apply a volumizing mousse or root lift spray: Apply a small amount of volumizing mousse or root lift spray to the roots of your hair before blow-drying. This will help create lift and body.
- Blow-dry with a round brush: Use a round brush when blow-drying your hair, focusing on lifting the roots as you dry. This will help create volume and movement.
- Use a dry shampoo: Spraying a bit of dry shampoo at the roots can help absorb excess oil and add texture, preventing flat, limp hair.
- Backcomb the roots: Gently backcomb the roots of your hair to create volume and lift. Be careful not to overdo it, as excessive backcombing can lead to damage.
- Avoid over-washing: Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of its natural oils, leading to flat, lifeless hair. Try to limit washing to 2-3 times per week.
- Get regular trims: Regular trims can help remove any dead or damaged ends that can weigh down your hair and contribute to a flat appearance.
By incorporating these French-inspired techniques, you can achieve the effortless, voluminous hairstyles often seen on Parisian women!
