A step-by-step guide to glam bouffant hair

Apply a headband.

Next, place a thin, stretchy headband over your hair, pushing it up so that it sits approximately 2 inches from your forehead.

Apply a volumising spray.

To help create even more volume, spray the Dove Advanced Hair Series Oxygen Moisture Root Lift Spray to your roots, focusing on the areas just behind your headband.

Tease your hair.

Next, using a comb, tease your hair at the roots to create body and height. To backcomb, start at the bottom of your strands and gently brush your comb towards your scalp.

Repeat this motion several times until you achieve mega volume!

Smooth your hair.

Once you’ve backcombed your tresses, use your comb to gently smooth all of your hair back, for a polished finish. Be careful not to brush too hard though, or you’ll undo all of the teasing you’ve just done!

Conceal your headband.

Then take an inch-wide section of hair from underneath your head, and pull it around your headband to conceal it. Secure this in place behind your ear with a bobby pin.
