A day or two after styling my hair, I find it falling a little flat, missing that bouncing body it usually has. That’s how I figure out how to revamp and transform my loose, flat, messy day two curls into a high-volume look I can complete quickly and easily while getting ready for my day.
First, I take my Kenra Professional Perfect Blowout Light Hold Styling Creme and rub a small amount between my hands. Then, I apply it from root to tip until my hair is slightly damp. I love this cream because it not only helps add volume and body to hair, but it also tames frizz and protects locks from heat up to 450ºF, which is so important during the next step.
I take my BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Dryer and give my hair a mini blowout to activate the styling cream, then brush through my hair with my Aveda Wooden Paddle Brush to smooth it out. If you’re in the market for a new dryer, BaBylissPRO’s Nano Titanium Dryer is amazing, but you can also get it with a curling iron and heat-protecting mat in this gift set, which is an absolute steal.
Now, the key to this hairdo is rollers. Mine are from Dry Bar, but there are less expensive optionsthat work just as well. I take the large rollers—Goody has some Large and Jumbo Velcro Rollers as well—and apply one to the crown of my head. I roll the ends under and roll down to my roots, then secure it with a styling clip.
I like to spray some Living Proof Flex Hairspray on the roots as well to make sure the volume holds, and then add another roller behind the first just like before. I also use a couple of rollers on the sides of my hair where I want the most volume.
Once all the rollers I want are in place and secured, I use the blow dryer at a low speed but high temperature to heat the curls for about 5-10 seconds. It’s important to let these rollers sit for about ten minutes before taking them out so they have time to cool and set in that style.
To upscale this look even more, I like to add volume to my roots with Living Proof’s Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo. This dry shampoo adds so much texture to the hair as it absorbs oil and adds a fresh scent, but it’s also easy to wash out. Shake the can a lot, spray it wherever you want to add body, let it sit for about 30 seconds, then vigorously massage it out with your fingers.
I finish the looks by adding some more Living Proof Flex Hairspray to keep everything locked in place, and that’s it! An easy style for second-day hair with gorgeous volume, body, and movement.
