Volume Styles for Fine Hair by Wellaflex
Fullness and body are the focus for hairstyles, and no one knows this better than London-based stylist to the stars Sascha Breuer: "The '70s, with their opulent waves and volume, are totally making a comeback. Strong hair with a lot of volume at the roots and soft waves in the lengths is the volume look for long hair—Charlie’s Angels are saying hello."
The styling expert exclusively presents the most beautiful long hair volume looks for Wellaflex and explains how they can be easily restyled at home. To make volume styling work even for fine hair, Sascha Breuer shares his professional tips for more body and bounce.
Opulent Look with Waves
Soft waves are not only trendy but also give more body to the hair. Many women with fine hair are afraid that curls or waves may not be suitable for their hair. The new Wellaflex products for Body & Style and a little bit of styling technique are all that is needed to create opulent waves, even with fine hair, that will make you the center of attention when shopping or at the next party.
After washing, work a golf ball-sized amount of Wellaflex Body & Style Mousse into the hair. It will give your hair more body starting at the roots, provide ultra-strong hold, and protect the hair from the heat of the dryer. Distribute the mousse by picking up portions with a wide-toothed comb and then evenly rake it through the hair. This technique avoids an overdose that would make fine hair heavy and ensures the product is spread evenly from roots to ends.
Semi-dry the hair with your blow dryer before rolling it over large heated curlers. For a perfect result, always begin at the crown and make sure that the individual strands are never wider than the curler itself. Let the curlers cool completely. A great way to use the waiting time is to put on your makeup. After removing the curlers, gently shake your hair with your head down and roughly separate it with your fingers. This will give you a loose and full structure.
The right hairspray is especially important for fine hair. To keep the wave look full and bouncy all day, mist Wellaflex Body & Style Hairspray from a distance of about 8 inches. Tilt your head to the side and spray from the bottom up. This method distributes the spray best and provides the hair with ultra-strong, flexible hold without sticking.
Elegant 1970s Style
A great styling idea for long hair includes bangs that are loosely pinned to the back. The volume at the roots gives this style a sophisticated appearance, and the soft waves along the length create a soft silhouette. This look is perfect not only for daytime but also looks fantastic in the evening with a little glamorous touch-up.
Using your hands, work a small amount of Wellaflex Body & Style Fluid evenly into towel-dried hair, from roots to ends. To distribute the fluid as evenly as possible, follow up with a wide-toothed comb. The fluid with Panthenol coats each individual hair and fills in thinner parts, visually providing more fullness and giving the hair a strong, flexible hold. This nourishes fine hair, thickens it, and protects it from the heat of the blow dryer.
To create soft waves, roll the hair over large curlers and let it dry completely. Remove the curlers and gently brush the hair. Then, separate the bangs section with a styling comb in the shape of a horseshoe. To give it more structure and body, lightly tease the bangs. Separate individual strands, hold them with one hand, and push down with the styling comb in strong moves. The strands should never be wider than the comb itself.
Finally, attach the bangs section with small bobby pins to the back of the head. If your hair is rather heavy, you can also use a small elastic band.
Straight Business Look
Many women with fine, long hair rarely wear their hair down because the volume styled in the morning often collapses after a short time. Especially at work, they often just gather their hair into a ponytail. However, there are many styling options even for fine hair. With the right products and styling tricks, even fine, straight hair can achieve the fullness needed for a lively, voluminous style. Graphic bangs add a fashionable touch to this business look and make the hairstyle appear modern and feminine.
To give the hair maximum fullness and strength while protecting it from the heat of the dryer, start by working Wellaflex Body & Style Fluid into damp hair. Follow by evenly combing the hair through with a good comb. The fluid with Panthenol is easy to distribute and coats each hair while thickening it. The hair appears fuller and maintains its volume for hours.
For maximum volume and a light structure, blow dry the hair over a paddle brush. Section off the top hair with a clamp and start with the lower sections. Tilt your head to the side and gently slide the brush from the roots to the ends while blow drying. Finish by blow drying the bangs straight over the forehead.
To make this business styling last all day, finish with a touch of Wellaflex Body & Style Hairspray. With its extremely fine mist, the hairspray distributes evenly without weighing down the hair or gluing together individual strands. The volume styled in the morning will last for 24 hours while the hair remains loose and flexible.
Romantic Casual Look
This romantic look is a great alternative to the straight business variation and is easily styled in just a few steps. The curls add much volume and life to the hairstyle, softening the strictness of the graphic bangs. This is the perfect look for a romantic date or an afternoon at the café with friends.
Before blow drying, work a small amount of Wellaflex Body & Style into damp hair from roots to ends. The fluid provides strong hold and nourishes the hair with Panthenol. If you prefer mousse, you can comb Wellaflex Body & Style Mousse evenly into the hair, working in sections. This will make the hair fuller and also protect it from the heat of the blow dryer.
Now it’s time to use a mid-sized curling iron. Starting at the roots, spiral individual strands around the curling iron. You'll get the best results by starting with the lower parts of your hair. Loosen up the hair with your fingers once all the curling is done.
To fix the fullness and bounce of your curls, finalize your style with an even mist of Wellaflex Body & Style Hairspray. Spray from a distance of about 8 inches. The special formula with Panthenol covers each hair, providing visible fullness and ultra-strong hold—up to 24 hours. Throughout this time, the hair will maintain its natural movability and a healthy shine.
