Achieving voluminous, shiny, frizz-free, salon-worthy hair can be a breeze with the right techniques and tools. As someone who loves exploring hair styling methods, I've found that using a hot styling brush, like our B.R.U.S.H 30/40, is a game-changer. It’s perfect for anyone, whether you're getting ready in the morning, need a quick touch-up throughout the day, or are preparing for a night out. In this guide, I'll share my top techniques for lifting roots, adding body to fine hair, and enhancing volume with the help of some fantastic products.
Techniques for Lifting Roots
Root lift is the foundation of voluminous hair. By targeting the roots, you can create an all-over lift that makes your hair look fuller and more vibrant. Here are my go-to techniques for lifting roots with the B.R.U.S.H 30/40:
1. Sectioning Your Hair
To effectively lift your roots, start by sectioning your hair. Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically about 2 inches wide. This allows you to focus on smaller areas, ensuring that every strand gets the attention it needs.
2. Prepping the Brush
Before using the B.R.U.S.H 30/40, ensure it’s heated to the optimal temperature of 180°C (356°F). This temperature is perfect for styling hair without causing damage, thanks to the infused macadamia oil, argan oil and keratin. These ingredients nourish your hair while you style, leaving it shiny and healthy.
3. Lifting Technique
To lift your roots, place the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 close to your scalp under each section of hair. Gently pull the brush upwards and hold it for a few seconds. This upward motion helps to create volume at the roots. Repeat this process throughout your hair, making sure to lift all the sections evenly.
4. Cool Down for Lasting Volume
Once you’ve lifted all the sections, let your hair cool down before styling further. This helps to set the volume and ensures it lasts longer. You can use a cool shot from a hairdryer or simply let your hair air cool.
Adding Body to Fine Hair
If you have fine hair, adding body can be challenging, but with the right techniques and the B.R.U.S.H 30/40, it’s entirely possible. Here’s how to give your fine hair a boost:
1. Choose the Right Size Brush
For fine hair, the size 30 B.R.U.S.H is ideal. It’s perfect for short to shoulder-length hair and allows for more precise control. The smaller size is easier to maneuver through finer strands, ensuring you get the volume you desire without causing any damage.
2. Backcombing
Backcombing is an excellent way to add body to fine hair. After lifting your roots with the B.R.U.S.H 30/40, gently backcomb the hair at the crown. Use a fine-tooth comb to tease the roots slightly, then smooth the top layer for a polished look.
3. Use Volumizing Products
Before using the B.R.U.S.H 30/40, apply a volumizing mousse or spray to damp hair. This adds extra texture and grip, helping to create and maintain volume. Look for products that are lightweight and designed specifically for fine hair, so they don’t weigh your hair down.
4. Styling Tips
When styling fine hair, focus on adding waves and curls. The B.R.U.S.H 30/40’s ability to create light waves, curls, and straightened looks makes it incredibly versatile. For waves, wrap sections of hair around the brush, hold for a few seconds, and release. For curls, use a twisting motion as you pull the brush through your hair.
Products to Enhance Volume
To achieve the best results, pairing the B.R.U.S.H 30/40 with the right products is crucial. Here are some of my top recommendations for products that enhance volume:
1. Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner
Start with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. These products are formulated to cleanse and condition your hair without weighing it down. Look for ingredients like biotin and collagen, which help to thicken and strengthen your hair.
2. Root Lifting Spray
A root lifting spray is a must-have for creating volume. Apply it directly to your roots before blow-drying or using the B.R.U.S.H 30/40. These sprays provide lift and hold, making it easier to achieve and maintain volume throughout the day.
3. Volumizing Mousse
Volumizing mousse adds texture and fullness to your hair. Apply a golf ball-sized amount to damp hair, focusing on the roots and lengths. The mousse will help to create a foundation for volume, making it easier to style with the B.R.U.S.H 30/40.
4. Texture Spray
Texture sprays are perfect for adding grit and hold to your hair. After styling, spritz a light texture spray through your hair for added volume and movement. These sprays help to lock in your style and keep your hair looking voluminous all day.
5. Hair Powder
Hair powder is another fantastic product for adding volume, especially at the roots. Sprinkle a small amount onto your roots and massage it in. The powder will absorb excess oil and add lift, making your hair look fuller and more voluminous.
