Volume and texture? This is the one hair hack you need in your life

Volume and texture

Volume and texture? Yes, please.

Although we’ve heard many a hair hack in recent times, we always listen up when it’s a professional stylist dishing a trick of the trade.

This especially applies when the tip in question relates to volume because as long-haired gals and ladies with thin locks will know, that much-sought-after bouncy look isn’t all that easy to achieve.

However, this tip courtesy of Adam Reed, Editorial Ambassador for L’Oréal Professionnel could make all the difference when it comes to a DIY hairstyle.

Adam says that there’s one product that’s key for enhancing texture and volume, and that’s mousse.

Yes, mousse which you might associate with 80s beauty is making a comeback and it might just become your new hair must-have.

Adam explains exactly how to use mousse and surprisingly, it’s all about that double layer.

“I always double layer mousse for a stronger hold, applying it to wet hair, drying it to about 85 percent and then adding another layer for extra hold. I also never apply mousse directly to hair, I use a comb to lift it and then pass it through the hair for a perfectly even application”.

Currently, Adam is a fan of Rebel Push Up, a texturising powder-in-mouse priced at €18 that gives ‘a natural mousse texture to the hair’.

He described it as the ‘aero chocolate of the mousse world’ and that comparison is enough to persuade us we need to try it.
