A lot of men nowadays love a lot of volume and texture in their Hair. Unfortunately, not all of us have a thick afro, and that volume tends to sag a bit throughout the day. Your hairstyle becomes flat, and it seems as if you have less or thinner Hair. It's very easy to blame the styling product then. To keep volume in your Hair all day, you need a bit more than just a good styling product.
Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that difficult to create volume in your Hair. There are a number of things you can do to ensure that your Hair retains that volume all day long. Follow our five tips for a voluminous hairstyle that lasts all day.
1: The right hairstyle
Of course, it all starts with the right hairstyle. If your Hair is incredibly thick or very long, it will sag anyway. It's simply too heavy. You want a hairstyle where your Hair is slightly longer at the front and shorter at the back. This quickly gives you a lifting effect. If your Hair is really very thick, you can have it thinned a bit.
2: Pre-Styling
What you do with your Hair before you actually start styling makes a world of difference. Apply a Grooming Spray, foam, or Sea Salt Spray to wet or towel-dried Hair and then blow-dry it. Try to finish with the Hair Dryer on the coldest setting. Your hair cuticles will close, resulting in Hair that stays in place longer.

3: Use the right product
There are so many different styling products you can use, which is why many men choose the wrong products. Want volume? Then avoid products like a Pomade, Hair Gel, or Hair Wax. These quickly make the Hair heavier and can make the Hair greasy. Choose products that contain clay. This can be a Hair Clay or a Hair Paste. These give the Hair volume and texture.

4: Work in different layers
By different layers, we mean that you add a little more product each time when needed. So you start with a very small fingertip of your styling product. If you add too much at once, your Hair will immediately collapse. So start with a little and distribute it well through the Hair. From bottom to top. Optionally use a comb to create extra volume. This way you can keep adding a little until you have the desired model.
5: Finish with a hairspray
Hairspray or Finishing Spray is not a styling product but purely a finishing touch to set your volume. Spray a little in your hand and gently wipe over the strands that stick out. This works perfectly to prevent protruding strands. Then spray gradually over your entire hairstyle. Use a distance of at least 20 cm so that it is evenly distributed on your Hair. Also, make sure not to spray too much because then your Hair will become wet and too heavy.
