Add Volume to Fine Hair without Harmful Products

Written by Cosmix Inc.

Those of us with fine hair are always on the hunt for ways to add volume and bounce to our hair. But it’s not that easy. The same styling products and hot tools that can be used to add volume to fine hair can also destroy this delicate hair type. So what is the solution? If you’re tired of using hair products and curling irons that have been known to damage fine hair, consider using a hair technique called backcombing. The professionals at Cosmix Inc. a makeup artistry school in South Florida, have provided this brief look at how to add volume to fine hair using the backcombing technique.

The Backcombing Technique

Although most women rely on the latest hair products or hot tools to achieve the look they want, there are many basic hair combing techniques that can be used to create the same looks but without the cost. In fact, schools for makeup artistry and hair have relied on these techniques as fundamental skills. The backcombing technique is one of the basic hair techniques with no other purpose than to add volume to otherwise thin or fine hair.

The Benefits of Backcombing

The first and probably most important reason to add volume to your hair using this method is because it’s gentle on the hair. Unlike styling products and hot tools, backcombing will not damage your hair. Many women want to add volume to their hair, but don’t want to spend a lot of time or money. Curling irons and other hot tools require a great deal of time. Styling products can get expensive, and finding the right one is always a challenge. However, backcombing your hair is fast, easy, and affordable.

How to Backcomb Your Hair

Start with clean dry hair. For an effective backcomb, all you need is a comb or brush. The first step is to start in the front of your hair. Select a section about an inch in thickness, and push comb down to your scalp. As your press down, slide it down and out to build a foundation.

The second step is to brush the surface smooth using your comb or brush. Next, hold your hair straight out from your scalp and backcomb starting at the base of the hair. As you backcomb, roll your brush using the inner edge, press, and lock in. Finally, remove the brush and smooth the hair. Use flexible hairspray to complete the look.

So the next time you want some bounce to your hair, skip expensive products and time-consuming tools and try backcombing your hair. The final result is natural-looking bounce that should last all day.
