Have you ever dreamed of having those long, bouncy locks you see on ads that seemed like their locks had a life of their own? Are you tired of constantly trying to brush your hair to give it life and volume? Getting enough body into your hair is undoubtedly a good styling trick that a lot of women aspire to know. But here’s some good news: you can do so with the right styling tricks and products.
Here are 10 tricks that you can try to get instant body:
1 – If you are trying to get more body for your dry hair, take out a dry shampoo because this will help bring more texture into your hair. But if you are working with wet hair, use a styling crème specifically designed to add body before you start blow drying.

2 – Velcro rollers are one of the best tools to use for creating body. Wait for hair to become 100% dry before wrapping sections of your hair with large Velcro rollers. Keep each section about 2” in size to get the right volume and body. Blast each sectioned hair with a hair dryer for approximately 3 seconds.
3 – Whatever product you are using to boost body, always concentration application on the roots to build a firm foundation for your hair’s new body and texture.
4 – Before you style hair, apply a mousse on your vent brush and then run it throughout the entire length of your hair. This will ensure equal distribution of the styling mousse on your hair. Flip your hair upside down to start blow drying.
5 – If you are going out at night, spritz a strong hold hairspray to your roots by flipping hair over. The extra hold from the hairspray should help retain the volume throughout the entire night.
6 – This quick blow drying technique should help add instant body to your hair: use a large round brush to lift hair off of its roots and then brush at a forward motion.
7 – Anytime you need to refresh your hair by giving it more body, do the flipping technique and tease your hair from the roots with the use of your fingertips. If you’ve used the strong hold hairspray, you won’t have to worry about the volume and body anymore.
8 – Additional tip: Make sure that your hair is fully cool and dry before coiling it with rollers. This is guaranteed to bring long-lasting curls and volume.
9 – Apart from Velcro rollers, hot rollers and foam rollers are also great for adding body. Meanwhile, keep mousse handy when styling for added body because this will help achieve the gorgeous locks you’ve dreamed of.
10 – Lastly, choose styling products that don’t weight your hair down so you can get natural-looking body and texture.
