10 Easy & Quick Steps On How To Get Volumous Hair With Minimal Effort

If you're anything like me, then volume is probably something you've struggled with when starting your curly girl journey, or maybe it's something you still struggle with? There's a bunch of different products out there to help, but if you're on a budget or don't want to spend any more, look no further!

Just after washing your hair, scrunch as much of the water as you can out with your hands.

If your hair gets oily easily, don't apply mousse or gel directly near your roots. This will weigh them down.

When applying mousse/gel, flip your hair to one side, then apply. Then do the same to ther other side and lastly do it upside down.

After doing your final steps after your wash (for me that is after mousse) do NOT touch your hair too much, especially near the root. This flattens mine and they don't curl up well after!

By cheap alligator clips for your hair (the double prong ones). These only cost a few dollars and are really helpful when it comes to lifting up those gorgeous curls at the roots.

Don't over do it with the plopping. I find that this can flatten my roots.

Pineapple your hair overnight. This creates volume and there's tons of tutorials on YouTube on how to do it.

If you need your hair to look great next-day then I have the perfect trick that always works. Wash it the day before your event, and instead of scrunching out the mousse/gel, leave it in and pineapple your hair overnight. Then on the next day, scrunch it out an you'll be sure to have amazing curls that hold for days!

When scrunching out the crunch, do it with your hair flipped over to the side instead of upside down. I have no idea why this works, but my hair started having amazing results after I did this.

Apply a little bit of hair oil in scrunching motions to lift it up. This also helps control frizz very well. Make sure to not apple to roots.

I really hope that this has been helpful and that you guys can learn a few tips and tricks that have really helped me along my curly girl journey so far! Thank you so much for supporting this blog! ❤❤❤
