NYFW was definitely, as always, a
bit of contrast with super slicked-back hair to mega volume. We love a sleek
look just as we some serious volume, but the later can often been difficult to
achieve without doing some damage to our locks -- unless you go the smart route
with a tool like VOLOOM.
We spotted gorgeous voluminous
hair at Anna Sui, Tory Burch and Veronica Beard; and we love the look. So, how
can we achieve this at home? Let's start with a little back story of how the
VOLOOM tool works. Yeah, we absolutely wouldn't have believed any of it either
unless we used it ourselves! The key to VOLOOM is the design of its unique, waffle-shaped
plates which create strong layers of support underneath the visible top layer
of the hair, without leaving a pattern in the hair.
GET THE VOLUME:
First, section off the top layer
of hair: VOLOOM is made to be used on the under-layers of hair, which are
covered by an untreated top layer. Just make sure that you part your hair
normally, and then section off the top layer that you would like to stay
smooth, and clip it off to the side. Use VOLOOM on the layers of hair
underneath this top layer. That is the basic VOLOOM technique.
Next, keep the hair alongside
your face smooth and untreated: Take a thin section of hair alongside your face
– ½ to 1 inch wide -- and clip it off to the side with the top layer of
untreated hair. It will remain untreated and smooth.
Hide any imprint under the smooth
outer layer: VOLOOM works by creating structure in the under-layers of hair
that are covered by an untreated top layer. When you first clamp down on hair
using VOLOOM, you will see an imprint. This is the volumizing structure, or
“volume pockets” that will hold up the top layers. But once the hair cools or
you brush through it, this imprint will ease and soften, leaving only a slight
impression and much greater hair volume..
Finally! More layers equal more
volume: The most effective way to control the volume you get with VOLOOM is to
control the size of the layers that you use. If you want more volume, try
sectioning off thinner under-layers. The volume in the under-layers will “stack
up” giving the appearance of even more volume. If you want less volume, you can
section off fewer but thicker layers.
