Women’s hair loss can leave you feeling self-conscious. However, there are some ways to give thinning hair more volume and disguise missing patches. To help you do this and regain your confidence, here are a few simple tips for giving hair more height and thickness.

How to Give Your Hair More Volume

1. Add Texture

Whether your hair is straight, wavy, or curly, there are many products designed to add texture and create the illusion of thickness. From hair sprays and dry shampoos to pomade, try a variety of options to see which makes your hair look fuller. These are typically applied to the roots and worked in with your fingers. 

2. Change the Part

Most women part their hair one way every day. Unfortunately, this can flatten the strands that are directly next to the part. Instead, switch up your styling every day, combing your hair different ways to avoid flattening. This will naturally promote volume around the crown.

3. Add Layers 

Talk with your hairstylist to learn how to use layering to create the illusion of more volume. Hair experts know just how to part and cut hair at the top and along the shaft to disguise women’s hair loss. Whether it be a shoulder-length bob or bangs, don’t be afraid to play with different styles.

4. Back Brush

While the puffy hair of the 1980s isn’t frequently seen anymore, you can use the same back-brushing technique to make your hair look more voluminous at the top. Pull the hair at the crown of your head straight up, then move your brush or comb along the strands to reach your scalp. This will tease the hair the wrong way to give it more volume and height when you lay it flat again.
