I can offer you three of the easiest ways to “set” the root and no longer worry about the volume of hair in this area.

Method No. 1

Use a well-known and beloved tool - a corrugated curling iron. It is for root volume that I recommend a small corrugation with non-sharp crowns - this type of tool is as gentle as possible and will not damage the hair as much if used frequently.

The corrugation will help create micro-cracks in the hair at the roots, and this volume will last until the next wash. Often, even light moisture cannot spoil this styling, but the most important rule in creating root volume is to retreat from the edge line. Use the corrugation in those areas where you really need volume; you don’t have to go all over your head.

Method number 2

It's about drying your hair - let it dry in the opposite direction of its natural fall. You can, for example, tilt your head down and dry your hair in this position. You can also use your fingers to pull the strands up at the roots and begin drying in this position. Such volume will be natural and will last long enough.

Method number 3

For the third method, you will need special root styling products: foams, sprays, powders and even salt sprays. In general, everything that slightly loosens the hair structure, slightly dries and absorbs it and adds volume. But with the help of dry shampoo and powder, you can refresh and extend the life of your hairstyle even the next day.
