How to Fake a Fuller Head of Hair: Part 2 (of 3)

[This Want Gorgeous Hair? series started Saturday.]

Yesterday I shared some volumizing Shampoo, Conditioner and Thickening Spray/Cream product picks from the pros.

Today, more volumizing products tips and picks …

Root Lifting Spray
Root lifting sprays contain polymers to add lift that lasts all day. They should be applied when hair is almost dry, concentrating on the roots.

Pro Pick:

• John Frieda Collection Luxurious Volume Lavish Lift Root Booster – 2009 Allure Magazine Readers’ Choice Award for best volumizer product

Mousse
Nothing beats mousse for building body, though it’s a bit tricky to apply. Here’s a pro trick: spray a bit of mousse into the tube of a vented styling brush. As you run the brush through your hair to style, the mousse will flow evenly onto hair as the foam deflates.

You want a light mousse that adds body without weighing down the hair.

Pro Picks:

• Neutrogena Triple Renewing Body-Boosting Foam – To reinforce weak strands and make hair appear thicker – “an effect that can last through several shampoos” according to More Magazine (March 2010)
• TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse – 2009 Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Hair Volumizer Award
