How To Big-up Your Hair!

REMINGTON JUMBO HEATED HAIR ROLLERS, £24.99

Rollers are a tried-and-trusted way of making hair big and bouncy, and the larger the roller, the bigger the bounce! We like Remington’s Jumbo Rollers, which lifts your hair at the roots and creates lovely tumbling curls.

L’ORÉAL PARIS HAIR EXPERTISE EVERPURE NO SULPHATES COLOUR CARE & VOLUME SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER, £5.99 EACH

Some products focus more on volume without giving a second thought to the condition of your hair. This range by L’Oréal is different: it doesn’t contain damaging sulphates and has a gentle cleansing and moisturising formula that won’t damage hair.

TOP TIPS FOR CREATING VOLUME

  • When blow-drying your hair, tip your head upside-down. This adds lasting fullness and body to your ’do.
  • Master the art of backcombing. For the best result, focus on teasing the hair around the crown, and spray hairspray directly onto your comb for amazing hold.
  • These volumising techniques can be damaging, so treat your hair to a conditioning treatment once a week. We like Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner, £5.49 (www.aussiehair.com/uk).
