Volumising spray: The one buy that’ll help you cheat your way to more voluminous hair

If there’s one thing we can agree on, it’s this: the voluminous, bombshell waves sported by Victoria’s Secret models are the definition of #hairgoals. But how can you get volume like that IRL without extensions and a 24-7 glam squad? With a volumising spray, of course!

Whether you have fine, flat hair and want to boost your oomph factor (erm, who doesn’t?) or equally want to know what on-trend styles you can slay with a volumising spray, here’s everything you’ve ever wanted to know about this must-have product…

Volumising spray: What, why and how to use it, like a pro

What is a volumising spray?

A volumising spray is a hair styling product that comes in the form of a spray (much like a hairspray), and is designed for the purpose of giving volume and lift to flat hair. On top of this, it also helps you create plumped-up styles with serious staying power.

Since it contains polymer technology which help to “hold” hair in place, when you apply it (specifically to the roots), it temporarily boosts your mane’s body to create the illusion of fullness. Pretty neat, right?

So, how do you use it?

Volumising sprays can be used on both wet and dry tresses, but if you want to use this product to it’s full potential, it’s best you use it on damp hair.

All you need to do is spray the product all over your roots and flip over your hair. Then grab a large round brush and blowdry until your hair is 80% to 90% dry. With this fail-safe technique, you’ll have hold all the way throughout your locks, plus the amazing volume you’ve always dreamed of (yay!).

Our favourite volumising spray for this not-so-secret method? The TIGI Catwalk Bodifying Spray, of course! This is the product to rely on, especially when you want to create a star-worthy blow out that’s full of volume and staying power.
