Create the appearance of thicker, fuller strands with these easy hairstyles.
For those battlingfineorthinning hair, a beautiful updo can seem like the hardest possible thing to achieve.
On the contrary, the right updo can actually make your hair look fuller and more voluminous.
There are just a few key things to keep in mind.
One, steer clear of high-tension hairstyles, advises Jamie Powell, hairstylist and founder ofNaturally Drenched.
Second, “the illusion of volume is your best friend,” says Powell.
More specifically, focus on creating that volume at the roots and crown.
Ahead, these updos are definite “do’s” if you have thinning hair.
In this case, she suggests using a large curling iron to create waves from mid-lengths to ends.
Try that same tugging technique as with the French twist, to create more volume.
Twist the ends upwards, creating a vertical roll that extends from the nape to the crown.
Tousled Chignon
In case you missed it, thechingon is backin a big way.
Instead, try this more textured take on the trend.
Create a loose pony at the nape of your neck and backcomb it to add fullness.
Wrap the hair in a circular shape and pin above the hairline.
Another route to pump up your crown: use a velcro roller to infuse height.
Secure with an elastic, cute claw clip, or pretty pins and poufyou’ve got high hair magic.
First, create a side part.
Then secure your hair into two, low ponytails.
Next, loops the ends up and under using U-shaped pins.
Add a few regular bobby pins to keep everything in tact and pull out a few face-framing pieces.
You get a thicker, shorter look without committing to a chop.
