Crank Up The Volume: My Top 3 Products


My life mission is to create full, voluminous locks. Cursed with hair flatter than that of Morticia Addams, I've backcombed, sprayed, moussed, and tonged until one can tong no more. And it's a dangerous game, let me tell you. One dodgy product and goodbye full, Brigitte Bardot tresses, hello irreversible bird's nest.

Here are my top three volume-enhancing products...

1. Lauren's Way Dream Rollers, £16.95 for a pack of 20, available from LaurensWay.com

I may have recently moved to Liverpool, but I'm still not ready for perusing around the local supermarket with a head full of rollers. Lauren's Way Dream Rollers are brilliant because you can go to sleep in them (albeit not the comfiest of snoozes) and then wake up with luscious bouncy locks.

2. Catwalk by Tigi Volume Collection 'Your Highness' Root Boost Spray and Thickening Gel Creme, £10.85 and £9.55, available from FeelUnique.com (delivery inclusive in price, yay!)

This product is so easy, yet so effective. Simply apply the Root Boost spray to your damp roots and/or work a few squirts of the Thickening Gel through damp hair, and then blow dry as normal. Instant glam volume! It smells gorgeous and doesn't make your hair sticky or matted. It's almost undetectable as a product, except your tresses are packed with oomph! Fabulous.

3. Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Dust It Mattifying Powder, £11, available from FeelUnique.com (also delivery inclusive, yay!)

I've chosen this product because it creates a totally different kind of volume. If you're looking for textured, grunge-glam inspired hair, then this one's for you. Sprinkle a light smattering at the roots of dry hair and work in with your fingertips. It might feel like you've got icing sugar matting your hair together, but the effect is well worth it.
