Are layers good for volume? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

Layers are highly effective and serve a very important purpose when seeking to introduce volume into your overall style. In that sense layers do a lot of the heavy lifting, but they do need some help in the way of styling (products and hands-on styling techniques). Many volumising specific products can also help lift the hair and give it a fuller appearance. As a salon styling tip, the combination of a round brush and a hair dryer can prove highly effective adding significant volume. The smaller the brush, the bigger the curl (which is often last in translation as people assume that a bigger brush achieves an even bigger curl!). When additional volume can be achieved through products, it makes for a powerful combination.

Another underrated method for introducing the illusion of volume is by way of introducing balayage or highlights. The lighter pieces create contrast for a fuller  and more dimensional look.
