Tips for Creating Volume and Texture in Your Hair
At Shear Excellence, we understand the importance of luxurious, voluminous hair that exudes confidence and elegance. Achieving that perfect balance of volume and texture can transform your look, giving you a sense of empowerment and sophistication. Here are our top tips to help you create stunning volume and texture in your hair.
1. Choose the Right Haircut
The foundation of voluminous hair starts with the right haircut. Opt for layered cuts, as they add movement and lift to your hair. Discuss with your Service Provider the best haircut that suits your face shape and hair type. Our experts at Shear Excellence are skilled in creating custom haircuts that enhance volume and texture.
2. Use Volumizing Products
Investing in high-quality volumizing products is essential. Start with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner to create a solid base. Follow with a volumizing mousse or spray applied to damp hair, focusing on the roots. Our salons in Rantoul, IL, offer a range of premium hair care products designed to boost volume and texture.
3. Master the Blow-Dry Technique
The way you blow-dry your hair significantly impacts the volume. Use a round brush to lift the roots while blow-drying. For added lift, flip your head upside down and dry your hair in this position. Finish with a blast of cool air to set the volume. Our Service Providers can demonstrate the perfect blow-dry technique during your appointment.

4. Incorporate Texture with Styling Tools
Styling tools such as curling irons and wands can add texture and body to your hair. Create loose waves or curls for a more voluminous look. Remember to alternate the direction of the curls for a more natural and textured appearance. At Shear Excellence, we stay updated with the latest styling tools and techniques to ensure your hair looks its best. You can read more of that here.

5. Try Dry Shampoo for Extra Lift
Dry shampoo is not only great for refreshing your hair between washes but also for adding volume. Apply dry shampoo to the roots and massage it in to absorb excess oil and add instant lift. This technique is especially useful for fine hair that tends to fall flat.
6. Backcomb Strategically
Backcombing, or teasing, is an effective way to add volume. Use a fine-tooth comb to gently backcomb sections of your hair at the crown. Be sure to smooth the top layer to avoid a frizzy look. Our Service Providers can show you the best way to backcomb without damaging your hair.
7. Opt for Lightweight Hair Products
Heavy hair products can weigh your hair down, making it look flat. Choose lightweight formulas that provide hold without compromising volume. Products like light hairsprays and texturizing sprays can give your hair the lift it needs without the heaviness.
8. Consider Hair Extensions
For an instant volume boost, consider hair extensions. At Shear Excellence, we offer premium hair extension services that add both length and volume to your hair. Our Service Providers will ensure a seamless blend with your natural hair, creating a fuller and more textured look.
9. Maintain a Healthy Hair Routine
Healthy hair naturally looks more voluminous and textured. Regular trims, deep conditioning treatments, and avoiding excessive heat styling are crucial for maintaining hair health. Schedule a consultation with our Service Providers to create a personalized hair care routine.
10. Experiment with Different Hairstyles
Experimenting with different hairstyles can also help enhance volume and texture. Updos, braids, and messy buns are great options to add variety and fullness to your look. Our Service Providers can suggest and create various hairstyles that suit your personality and lifestyle.
