1 The right shampoo

If you want more volume in your hair, don't base your decision when buying shampoo on fragrance or appearance, but instead opt for products with the words "for natural volume". These contain special polymers that wrap themselves around the individual hairs like an invisible grid and "plump them up" in this way. The hairstyle doesn't fall apart straight away and lasts longer.

2 The right equipment

One of the most important allies in the battle for more volume is the good old mousse. This is applied to towel-dried hair after shampooing. Indispensable tools: the round brush and a professional ionic hairdryer. Twist in strand by strand and dry from the roots.

3 Playing tricks with cut and color

Whether highlights or a complete coloration - every chemical process breaks up the hair fiber to infiltrate the color. This roughens the cuticle. This makes the hair more manageable and luscious overall. The hairdresser can also help with cutting and conjure up more volume in the hair. Ask for the "volume haircut" that best suits your type and hair structure. A great trick for voluminous hair.

4 Strengthen from the inside

You can even do something for full and healthy hair when it comes to nutrition. Biotin or vitamin H is important for cell growth and is found in foods such as eggs, nuts, wholegrain products and pulses. They also contain zinc. The trace element plays an important role in hair growth: loss of volume due to hair breakage could be an indication of zinc deficiency. Vitamin B, for example in broccoli, avocados or bananas, also plays an important role and provides strength.

5 Put an end to hair breakage

Professionals know: Do not roughly towel-dry your hair after washing - this attacks the hair and can lead to unwanted breakage in the long term. Better: gently squeeze out the water with a towel, don't rub!

6 Fullness to go

If your mop of hair is literally limp in the morning but you don't have time for the full program, use a root booster spray (spray in, blow-dry briefly) or dry shampoo (just brush in).
