Want More Hair VOLUME -- Human Hair, Not Yorkie Hair LOL!

[miezzi]

First....teasing....does not cause hair breakage! LOL!
I have an awesome teading brush that works wonders for my clients! Its the best 5 bucks you will ever spend! I have to tease my hair every day to get lift!!!!!! I could not live without it, and now my clients feel the same! We have sold 1,000's of them!

I absolutely love AQUAGE Root Lifting Volumizing Mousse! Its the best! And also AQUAGE Thickening Spray Gel! Cocktail the 2 together, use a great round brush, take small sections to round brush and really over direct your hair!
Tease with the Teaser, and finish with AQUAGE Finishing Spray!

When all is said and done using allt hose products, at the end of the day, you can literally brush thru your hair, and run your fingers thru it! And its still silky soft! Its awesome!

In fact....I LOVE all AQUAGE products!!!!!!!!!

Ok... i havent see a pic of your hair yet... so this may not be for you BUT...
my boss gets a root only perm... this gives her body to lift her hair...
I dunno ... just passin it along

I use matrix volume shampoo and conditioner for colored hair. I shampoo my hair first and leave it in while I shower. I use redken #10 mousse (called guts) just on the roots to give me lift. I use a round brush to help give me the lift I want then use #23 redken hair spray...it's not sticky at all! I don't like that sticky feeling either.

When my hair was that length I would take 3 velco rollers & starting at the crown i would section, roll back & secure all the way to the front, looking at the head it would be three on top in a row- spray the roots with hairspray & let dry while I did my makeup. If I was in a bit for time you can take a big round brush section of the front & pull it very tight around the round brush going straight out in front of the head concentrate the blow dryer on the roots at first or blowdry it the opposite way you part it & then when done part it right & smooth a little. Hope I make sense there is times I can't put into typing what I'm wanting to say LOL!

I use mouse and dry my hair upside down. Maybe you need some layers put in your hair.

Are you sure? I've been told my entire life (from more than one beautician) that teasing is very bad for your hair and can cause breakage.

I'm definitely going to give those products a try. Can I get them anywhere or only at certain places?

I'm definitely going to try the big velcro rollers too. I've heard great things about them from a few of my friends.

If you tease like they all did in the 80's YES! But take smaller sections, overdirect them, and only tease from the scalp to about a 3rd of the way up! When its time to comb or brush it out....thats when most people tend to damage their hair. Never just brush thru the teasing! Spray a little spray shine in the teased sections, and pick it out gently! Most people just tear thru it!

Oh...and Velcro rollers are great too!!!! Love them! If you have a Sally's beauty Suplly by you, you can get a whole box of them for like 20 bucks!

Aquage is a strictly professional line! They stand behind their salons and will not sell to Chain stores! Not even Trade Secret! Its awesome! So maybe google it, or go to Aquage.com, and I am pretty sure they have a page for you to put your zip code in, and they will find a salon near you who carries it! If not....let me know...I have tons of it....I will mail ya some!

Good Luck!

I do NOT want to tease my hair because that is sooo bad for your hair and causes breakage.

I don't use anything in my hair right now except a little bit of leave-in conditioner but I only apply that to the ends of my hair (so that they don't burn or dry out when I blow dry my hair) and I never apply it to my scalp and roots.

I also know that blowing the pieces you want to give more volume to STRAIGHT UP in the air is really good for volume and I do that right now. It does work but only for a few minutes. After about 20 minutes or so, my hair falls again. My hair isn't super flat or anything but I'd just like a little itty bit more volume ... not toooo much, don't want to bring back the 80's lolol

Can anyone recommend a GOOD product that won't leave my hair feeling sticky or icky? Like if it's mousse, what brand exactly? Or if it's a voluminizing spray, what brand? Please be specific. Thanks!!!

Matrix Amplify works Great http://www.fragrancenet.com/f/net/hc...FQlxOAodElV0OA

they have A root lifter.
also when you Blow your hair Up Let it cool befor letting go.( Hope you understand this)
If you have a cool shot on your Dryer *use it*.

I use a Huge Round brush and cool shot.
I hope that helps.
Feel free to PM or ask more ? here. I love Hair Talk
