Alas, there are a few tips and tricks you can adopt to achieve a fuller hair look, without breaking the bank or taking up several hours in the morning. Here, the hair experts at WIGS.com gives their six hair hacks to get a thicker, fuller hair do.

1. Chop your locks

One of the best ways to create the illusion of thicker, fuller hair is to chop a few inches off the ends. If your hair is quite long but thin chances are it will make your hair appear even thinner and a little limp, by cutting a bit off the length it takes away that dead length that is weighing you down and most likely making your roots appear flat and volume less. When you go to visit the salon, ask the stylist to add a few layers into the cut, this will add even more volume and give a choppier style to your do, adding the illusion of thickness.

2. Switch up your shampoo

Product is a sure-fire way to add instant impact and volume to your tresses. Investing in shampoo and conditioner which is tailored to thin hair in a bid to adding thickness will be a good start in creating a thicker look, and with so many great products on the market, you will be able to find something to work for your hair.

3. Invest in instant volume powder

Instant volume powder is a miracle hair product which many women swear by, it instantly lifts and adds volume to your roots which will in turn help your hair appear fuller and volumized. Be sure to use sparingly as if too much is applied it can make your roots feel sticky, much like dry shampoo does, so a little goes a long way. After you’ve applied the power, why not try backcombing the hair under the roots to lift them even more.

4. Change up your parting

A deep side parting could be all that you need to help make your thin mane look a little more voluminous. While middle partings are slightly subtler, a deep side parting can help add volume as well as being elegant and on-trend. If you’re a little nervous to go full on side parting, why not just do a smaller one to start, then when your happy, sweep that hair fully to one side!

5. Air-dry your hair

Most people believe blow-drying your hair with product is the only way to achieve a thick, flowing mane, but in fact air drying your hair can prove super handy when it comes to adding natural, bouncy volume. After you’ve jumped out the shower, scrunch some volumising mousse into the hair, get outside and your good to go! No heat tools needed.

6. Consider hair extensions or hair pieces

If you’re at the end of your tether with your hair and in need of a little extra help when it comes to adding thickness, why not opt for hair extensions or a hair piece. Adding subtle extensions underneath your actual hair will allow you to enjoy thick hair all day long without too much hassle, just make sure you apply them correctly, no one wants those pesky clips on display!
