How To Add Volume To Your Hair

Hi guys,

If you have fine/thin hair or straight hair like mine, one of the cons is flat, limp hair. I am always looking for products which can help add volume to my hair. I have been using these two products from BBLUNT currently and have been loving the results.

Hence, I thought of sharing them with you guys.

First is the BBLUNT Blown Away Volumizing Leave-in Spray

Claims: If big hair is your thing, we introduce you to your new best friend. This volumizing spray gives you incredible fullness & bounce. Go big with confidence. Specially created for Indian hair. Protects from the environment and heat styling damage.

How to Use: Flip your hair upside down and spray evenly on damp hair, focusing on the roots. Dry naturally or blow dry for full-blown volume. For maximum effect use with Full On Volume Shampoo & Conditioner.

MRP: Rs.550/-

I love the bright yellow packaging! The cap on the spray secures it perfectly. It’s a watery liquid which comes out as a spray and is to be used on damp hair, post washing.

Then you let the hair air dry naturally or blow dry. Flip hair upside down and spray it, blow dry upside down for added volume!

I love the result it gives. My hair is usually flat from the top because it’s long and straight and the weight pulls it down. BBLUNT Blown Away Volumizing Leave-in Spray helps add some volume on the top making the hair look bouncy and full.

This was for damp hair. Now after 2-3 days when you hair gets flat again and scalp a little oily and you have no time to wash your hair, the BBLUNT Back to Life Dry Shampoo comes to rescue.

Claims: Instant freshness is now just a spray away. This dry shampoo does a smooth job of absorbing excess grease & grime and revamps your hair in seconds. It has a fresh floral inspired fragrance with refreshing notes. Don’t leave home without it. Specially created for Indian hair.

How to use: Shake well before use. Hold can in an upright position, six inches away from the hair & spray evenly, close to the roots. Leave it on for 2 minutes. Massage & brush thoroughly.

MRP: Rs.550/-

I have used and loved the original one, they have launched it in two new variants: Spring Fling and Beach Please. I am currently using the Spring Fling one and it smells so good!

All you need to do is shake and spray on the scalp, more where you feel it’s oily. Rub the hair and scalp, lightly massage it. And you are done! It will absorb all the oil and give a little bounce and volume

I feel they have improved the formula and it doesn’t leave any white cast on the hair or scalp now. Spring Fling has a soft, floral smell and I love this variant more than the original.

So these are the two products I am currently using and loving to add volume to my hair. I do recommend trying them out, if you haven’t already. You can buy BBLUNT products HERE

L’Oreal Professionnel Techni Art Fresh Dust Dry Shampoo Review

L’Oreal Professionnel Techni Art Fresh Dust Dry Shampoo Review

What the Company claims: Now refresh and cleanse your hair while you’re on the move! L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni Art Fresh Dust Shampoo is the ideal dry shampoo for hair. The no residue shampoo mildly cleans your hair and scalp while the micro oils help absorb dirt and impurities from hair.

Micro Oils absorb dust and dirt particles to give fresher look to hair.
No residue formula gives your hair proper texture.
Gives a flexible hold to hair.

MRP: Rs.950/- for 150ml

Directions: 

1) Shake before use.
2) Spray onto the roots and work in the product evenly.
3) To restore volume spray approximately 20 cm away from hair.
4) Brush your hair to remove any excess product.

So this is the first dry shampoo widely available in India! I had bought the Batiste one from Dubai and still have it. I had never found any in India before. I am glad we finally have a dry shampoo now.

It comes in a simple white can packaging with a cap. I like the fresh smell. We all have been through those bad hair days, 2 days since you washed hair, have to go somewhere but no time to wash hair. It takes me 30-40 minutes to wash my hair. So I have been there a lot of times! Coz I am always pressed for time and late.

Its perfect for 2+ days hair. Absorbs the oils well and hair looks less greasy and smells fresh. Gives some volume too.

But you definitely need to wash your hair the next day once you have used it the previous day. You cannot use it for 2 days continuously since it builds up and then hair looks weighed down.

Its more or less at par with Batiste Dry Shampoo. Dry Shampoos usually work only for a day or so when you are too pressed for time. But never give a washed hair effect. It can somewhat help you on a bad hair day though.

I don’t agree with cleanses your hair and absorbs dirt and impurities claim. No dry shampoo can do that.

Overall, I would say, a girl needs a dry shampoo in her kitty for those emergencies and ‘no time’ days. I won’t suggest using it regularly, it cannot replace your normal shampoo. And I am glad, India has an option now.

The quantity of 150ml is very good. You hardly need few sprays at a time. It would last long too, considering its not used that regularly.
