How to Get Volume in a Bob
Getting a voluminous bob haircut may sound like a difficult thing to do, but once you’re equipped with the right products and tools, you’ll be creating sky-high looks in your sleep.
Adding Volume with a Blow Dryer
Using a trustee blow dryer is a foolproof way to achieve volume. With short hair, it’s even easier to do this. However, it’s important to always use a heat protectant when using heat on your hair. We love TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray because it protects your hair up to 450°F and doesn’t leave any residue on your strands. Grab a round brush and begin blow-drying your hair in sections. To achieve that extra volume, brush your hair in an outward motion, going straight out while blow drying instead of a downward motion. With a nozzle attached to the end, run your blow dryer along the top side or under the side of the section of hair you are blow-drying outwards. Repeat this blow drying technique over all of your hair. For the most volume, focus the nozzle at your root a little longer than the rest of your hair.
Build Volume into Your Cut
If you’re wanting to achieve the most natural volume possible in addition to products and blow-drying techniques, you can ask your stylist to create volume within your bob haircut. To do this, ask your stylist to texturize your hair starting about one to one and a half inches from the ends of your hair. This hair cutting technique will add movement to your strands, giving them more life and making your hair appear fuller.
