HOW TO GET MORE VOLUME WITHOUT TEASING YOUR HAIR

If you’ve ever thought the only way to get big, beautiful hair was by teasing it, we’re here to tell you there’s a better way.

While teasing can create temporary lift, it can also leave your hair tangled, harder to brush through, and more prone to breakage over time. At Ivory House Salon, we prefer to create volume that’s healthy, touchable, and lasts.

It all starts before you even pick up a round brush.

One of our favorite tricks is pre drying your hair upside down. As your roots begin to dry, gravity naturally encourages them to lift away from the scalp instead of drying flat against it. It might seem like a small step, but it creates the foundation for fuller hair before you even begin styling.

Next comes your tools.

The brush you use matters more than most people think. A quality blow dry brush, like the Dom Dom boar bristle brush, helps create smoothness while lifting the roots at the same time. Instead of simply drying your hair, you’re training it to hold the shape you’re creating. Investing in the right brush can make styling at home much easier and give you results that last longer.

Now for our favorite part…

Product. Product. Product.

We always tell our clients that every great style starts with a strong foundation. Even the best haircut or blowout won’t last if your hair doesn’t have the support it needs.

Before you even pick up a curling iron, your styling products are already doing the heavy lifting. They’re what help create volume, give your hair memory, and keep your style looking fresh throughout the day.

One of our go to products is Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer. We love spraying it at the roots for extra lift and through the ends to create that effortless, lived in texture. It instantly gives the hair more body without making it feel stiff, and it’s one of our favorite ways to make curls and blowouts last longer.

Once the style is finished, we lock everything in place with Davines This Is A Strong Hairspray. It provides long lasting hold while still allowing your hair to move naturally, so your style stays beautiful without feeling crunchy or overdone.

The right products don’t just finish a hairstyle. They help build it from the very beginning. That’s why we always say your style is only as good as the foundation underneath it.

One of our favorite finishing techniques is setting freshly styled sections in velcro rollers while they cool. Hair holds its shape as it cools, so leaving the rollers in for just a few minutes gives you noticeably more lift and bounce. It’s a simple trick that can make your blowout last longer and give your hair beautiful movement without teasing.

At Ivory House Salon in Dripping Springs, Texas, we believe volume isn’t about one magic product or one secret technique. It’s about combining healthy styling habits, the right tools, and professional hair products that work together.

If you’re looking for more volume, longer lasting curls, or simply want to make your hair easier to style at home, ask your stylist during your next appointment. We’d love to show you how we use the Dom Dom boar bristle brush, Davines This Is A Dry Texturizer, and Davines This Is A Strong Hairspray behind the chair, along with personalized tips for your hair type.

Because beautiful, voluminous hair shouldn’t disappear the moment you leave the salon. With a few simple techniques and the right products, you can recreate that same fullness at home and enjoy great hair long after your appointment.
