How to make your hair voluminous? At the ends it is quite simple - just screw it on curlers or curling iron. But the root volume is much more difficult to make. There are a lot of ways, from simple brushing to salon procedures, but they are not universal, and they should be selected based on the type and condition of the hair, as well as the time and money that you are willing to spend on it.
I have coarse and porous hair that only has one advantage - volume. And when I try to smooth them out and “tame” them (for example, with the help), they acquire shine and silkiness, but the volume goes away. It is especially lacking at the roots, where the hair simply "sticks" to the head. With a flat back of the head, this looks especially ugly, so I tried many ways to create root volume in this area.
Method 1 - regular fleece
This is the simplest and oldest method for root volume, which was used by our grandmothers. It only needs hairspray and a comb. You can use a regular, frequent comb or a special brush for combing:
How to scratch the occipital area:
- Separate the strands of the occipital zone, which we will comb, and pin on the crown.
- Starting from the bottom, separate the layer of hair with a horizontal parting, spray a little with varnish and comb.
- After combing the entire area in layers, leave the top layer without a fleece and close the previous ones with it. We spray the entire "structure" with varnish.
Who is this method suitable for?: only for owners of thick hair. Sparse hair will not cover the fleece, and it will be visible. With oily, thick hair, this method is also not very good, since the root volume will not last long. On dry hair, the fleece will hold up very well, the main thing is not to go over the styling products, which can also contribute to drying.
Advantages of fleece:
- done very simply, any girl can handle it
- does not require expensive tools, appliances and electricity, the fleece can be done anywhere, even on a hike
disadvantages:
- when combing, the hair is very tangled, and it is very difficult to comb it later, you can even damage it when combing
- if you comb too hard, then this "nest" can be noticeable from under the top layer, especially in windy weather
Method 2 - shirring
It is done a little more difficult, but also quite doable at home. Due to small zigzag bends, the strands are superimposed on each other with "gaps", which creates a root volume, or even full volume, if you make a corrugation for the entire length. I have a corrugation with Aliexpress, it copes with the task:
This method is similar to the previous one in execution:
- I separate the zone where I will make the root volume, stab it.
- Starting from the bottom, I separate thin layers of hair with horizontal parting and corrugate them with special tongs at the roots. In this case, an indent of about 1 cm is made from the roots so as not to damage them and burn the skin. The length of the corrugation itself can be any - from a few centimeters to the entire length. But the more the corrugation is done, the more noticeable it will be. For the root volume, 5-7 cm is enough.
- I corrugate all the layers of the selected zone, except for the last one, and, as with the brushing, I put the last layer on top to hide the previous ones.
Who is shirring suitable for:to everyone who would not be suitable for fleece. That is, it will look good on sparse hair, even if it is visible. Dry a little greasy hair and due to thermal packing, the root volume will last longer. But the owners of dry hair should not get carried away with the corrugation, so as not to spoil them completely.
Advantages of corrugation:
- hair does not get tangled, it will be easy to comb
- does not require hair styling products
- even if the wind suddenly blows, and from under the smooth layer of hair, a corrugated one "looks out", it will look much nicer than a matted mat of fleece.
disadvantages:
- corrugation, like an iron with a curling iron, is harmful to hair due to high temperature
- non-moisture resistant effect. Hair will straighten in the rain
Advice: in order not to spoil the hair, do crimping after shampooing on carefully dried hair, and do not repeat it until the next wash. Even if during this time the root volume decreases slightly, it is better to lift the strands and sprinkle with varnish at the roots.
Method 3 - hair powder
A styling product that has appeared relatively recently. It is a fine white powder and in use is very similar to ... baby powder!
Powder for root volume is applied to the roots and rubbed into the hair, after which it becomes tough and literally “stakes”. This tool (professional line) is often used to create holiday and wedding hairstyles... Combined with shirring and fleece, this is what happens:
The effect of such a powder from the mass market is much less bright and persistent:
A post shared by Olga Lisa (@okosmeo) on Mar 20, 2017 at 2:59 am PDT
Who is suitable for root volume powder: owners of oily roots! In effect, it is very similar to dry shampoo, only plus fixation.
Advantages of hair powder:
- ease of use
- reduction of fat content of roots
- long-term fixation (with professional products)
Disadvantages:
- cheap powders give the effect of dirty hair
- good powder for root volume is quite expensive
Method 4 - Bust-Up procedure
This is a perm-based salon procedure. Its scheme of action is the same as with corrugation, only the effect lasts for a long time - until it grows back.
How it is done (I did not dare, so the photo is someone else's):
Root chemical or bobbin waving is done on the selected area on very thin bobbins. The length of the curled section of the hair is about 5 cm. The top layer of the hair remains without curling, and no curls are visible under it.
Who is Bust-Up suitable for?: owners of oily roots. This procedure will dry them out. In general, hair for Boost-Up, as well as for chemistry, should be healthy, preferably not bleached or overdried.
Boost-Up advantages:
- long-term effect that will last for 4-5 months. It is recommended to repeat the procedure every six months.
disadvantages:
- harmful to hair. It's the same perm., especially on a small diameter of the bobbin, which makes the creases on the curls more fragile. When repeating the procedure, the curling is partially layered on the previous one, which after several times can lead to fragility.
- growing back, root chemistry does not disappear anywhere. The curls will remain in the same place, only they will be more and more away from the roots.
- Not cheap. Like any salon procedure, Boost-Up is quite expensive.
Method 5 - braiding or twisting at the roots
If the root volume with fleece, corrugation or chemistry does not suit you because of the insecurity of these methods, then you can try this method, which is absolutely harmless for the hair, but it will take quite a lot of time.
It is better to do this before bed:
- We select the zone for creating the root volume in the same way as in the previous methods.
- Divide hair into small strands
- We braid each strand at the roots into a short pigtail (4-5 cm) or wind it on a thin bobbin.
The effect is the same as in the previous methods.
Who is it suitable for: those who have a lot of time and patience. Weaving so many small, even short, braids is a painstaking business, and personally I have never been able to complete it. And sleeping on bobbins is very uncomfortable.
Advantages of weaving or winding:
- completely harmless to hair
- good effect comparable to professional
Disadvantages:
- hard to do by myself
- takes much time
- inconveniences during sleep
- the effect is unstable, since there is no heat wave or chemistry
Method 6 - special inserts: rollers and hairpins
Now there are a lot of accessories with which you can make the root volume at home. In stores, they are inexpensive, but on the Internet (for example, on Aliexpress) they can be bought for a penny at all.
They are used in about the same way:
- Separate the top layer of hair with a horizontal parting from the temples to the back of the head and pin it at the crown.
- Under this layer on the back of the head we make a small bundle and tie it tight with an elastic band.
- We insert a roller or hairpin over the bundle so that the cloves fall into the elastic.
- We dissolve the top layer of hair over the roller and tie it again in the form of a "malvinka"
It turns out the root volume due to the insert.
Who are the inserts suitable for: everyone, except for those with rare hair, in which these rollers will be visible. They are also not suitable for lovers of loose hair, because without the "malvinka" they will not hold, or they will become noticeable at the first gust of wind. But ponytail, braid and any high hairstyle with root volume on the roller will look great
Advantages:
- quick, simple, easy to do at home
- harmless to hair
disadvantages:
- not suitable for loose hair, such rollers are worn only under the hairstyle
- when you loose your hair and remove the roller, there is no trace of root volume
Method 7 - shampoos and masks for hair volume
In theory, the scheme of their action is to envelop each hair with a composition containing silicone, due to which the hair becomes thicker and more voluminous. But I never found a shampoo or mask that would give a real, noticeable result. Therefore, I will not recommend it, since I consider this to be another luring of money from us, gullible consumers.
Such means can be used, as they say, to calm the soul. But if there is really not enough root volume, then it is better to look for something else.
The only exception is dry shampoowhich dries and lifts the hair at the roots. And although it was created not at all for the root volume, but for an emergency head wash, its effect is often much better than many professional products:
Permed hair is an ideal way to radically change your appearance and give your hair unimaginable volume.
Preparation for the procedure
To make your hair curl safe, prepare your strands for the upcoming procedure. Preparation consists of six important steps.
Stage 1. Assessment of the hair structure (elasticity, strength, type, density). It is carried out in order to choose the type of curling.
- For thick hair, you will need the strongest fixing agent, since it is very difficult to curl them;
- Thin rare strands curl easily - you need to choose a weaker preparation for them;
- Hair with low elasticity can stretch and fail to return to its original appearance. Chemistry is contraindicated for them;
- Too dry hair should also not be twisted - it will tear and break.
Stage 2. Analysis of the scalp. For wounds, injuries and diseases associated with the scalp, it is better to forget about perming.
Stage 3. Test for sensitivity. To carry it out, soak a cotton sponge with a curling compound and lubricate the area behind the ear with it. Wait 10 minutes. If there is no redness, rashes, irritation, go to perm. If you have problems, quickly rub your skin with hydrogen peroxide. "Chemistry" is contraindicated for you.
Step 4. Checking the hair for the retainer. This is necessary in order to determine the dose and concentration of the drug. Take a small strand, moisten it with the preparation and leave it on for 5 minutes. Check hair for break. If it remains strong, the strands can be curled. If it looks like tow and breaks easily, make the solution weaker.
Stage 5. Shampooing. The shampoo will loosen the flakes and improve the result.
Stage 6. Hair cutting. It can be done before curling or after to freshen the ends and shape the hair.
Important! Before the procedure, do not forget to remove gold jewelry and glasses, and protect your skin from chemicals.
Types of hair "chemistry"
Modern perm can be divided into types according to the chemical agent applied to the strands.
Neutral
This gentle perm is considered universal as it is suitable for everyone. The curl is strong and elastic, the result lasts from 3 to 6 months and directly depends on the structure of the hair.
Acidic
A special fixative based on thioglycolic acid penetrates into the hair, but does not spoil its structure, as it is considered gentle. As a result, we get a rather hard curl - it lasts for one month. For thin and soft strands, this method is not suitable - they will lose their shape and stretch at the roots. The same applies to girls with sensitive skin types and dry hair.
Alkaline
With an alkaline type of curling, the retainer penetrates and reveals the scales. The result is more permanent - it will last on the hair for about 90 days. It gives bouncy curls, looks natural, and acts much softer than the previous version. But on heavy, hard strands, the result will not be lasting - after about a month the curl will lose its shape. The cost is cheaper than acid perm.
Amino acid
The fixative contains amino acids and proteins that heal and nourish the hair. Amino acid "chemistry" does not harm the health of the strands. Curls look natural, but, alas, short-lived. This "chemistry" is not suitable for tight and long strands - under such a heavy weight, curls will quickly develop.
Biowave
You will not find aggressive components in the composition. They are replaced with another agent similar to the hair molecule. Biowave gives a beautiful natural shine and a very long-lasting result.
Basal
This is an ideal way to make your hair splendid by fixing the volume for several weeks, or even months (it all depends on the fixative). Also, root chemistry is suitable for those whose hair has previously been permed, but managed to grow back.
Silk
This preparation contains silk proteins. They take care of the hair and improve its structure. Even damaged hair becomes healthier. The curl comes out very soft and lasts up to six months. The price is much more expensive than other options.
American
It is in great demand among modern women of fashion. Allows you to get elastic and large curl. With this type of curling, curlers are needed especially large sizes Is Olivia Garden. They are attached to each other with sharp teeth. Curlers of this type do not leave creases and give lush curls.
Small or African
Recommended for women with thin and thin hair. It is often performed on hair. middle length... But we advise especially courageous ladies to take a chance - African chemistry will definitely help you with this. short hair... The silhouette will be spherical, and the volume will be incredible! The only drawback is that taking care of your hair will be very difficult, and making a new style is almost impossible. For "chemistry" in the Afro-style, either papillotes or small spirals are needed. This process will take about 5 hours, you can only do it in the salon.
Japanese
It is also called lipid protein (LC2). Compared to the previous one, Japanese lasts longer and provides more benefits. It is completely safe due to its neutral ph and normalizes the moisture content of too dry hair. With the help of such a curl, you can get elastic and voluminous curls that will last from 2 to 6 months.
Carving
Perm for medium, short (no more than 20 cm) and rare strands. Makes hair fuller, curl - soft and natural. Visually raises hair at the roots, and also refreshes the image. Carving works only with the surface of the hair, without harming it, as with classic type... If your hair is thick, take large bobbins - large curls help create a great look.
Vertical
Spiral or vertical "chemistry" is the best way for a long and thick braid that cannot be wound horizontally. In this case, the bobbins are placed vertically (from the root to the ends), and the strand is twisted in a spiral. A few words about curlers! For the procedure, you need long, tapered bobbins with holes through which the strands are pulled. Ideally, they should be made of plastic or wood. This shape allows you to curl the curl evenly.
The effect looks great on a vertical curl wet hair... It is also convenient in that the growing roots can be easily twisted. The composition can be anything - it depends on how long you want to go with your new hairstyle. In addition, the health of the strands depends on the drug. After the procedure, they will be either weak and dull, or shiny and lively.
Electric curling
It can only be used on healthy hair and only in proven salons. First, the strands are moistened, then twisted on bobbins and connected to the apparatus (exposure time and temperature are regulated). The result of the procedure will be beautiful lungs curls.

IN modern world almost all women face the problem of time pressure. That is why the fair sex want long-term hair styling with a hairdryer and styler, but at the same time strive to look great. Root chemistry for hair volume will help you cope with this task. Reviews about this salon procedure you can find in this article.
Features of root chemistry
Base chemistry (boost up) is a procedure aimed at adding volume to hair by perming the root part of the curls.
Root chemistry technology
The duration of this procedure is 2.5-3 hours. The work of the master begins with the separation of the horizontal parting. We draw your attention to the fact that the upper strands will not curl. A special composition is applied to the root part of the hair, the main components of which are cystimian and bee propolis extract. This mixture reduces the negative effects of high temperatures, and in addition helps to maintain the effect of the procedure for a long time (about 6 months). After the hair is thoroughly saturated with serum, the hairdresser proceeds directly to the root perm.
Contraindications to the root chemistry procedure
There are a number of contraindications to boost procedure up. These include:
- Periods of pregnancy and lactation;
- Diseases skin scalp, including dandruff;
- Antibiotic treatment;
- Damage to the scalp (presence of scratches, ulcers on it.)
Benefits of root hair chemistry
According to stylists, the boost up procedure will be a real salvation for owners of rare and thin hair. Root chemistry visually makes the curls thicker. And besides, after this procedure, the hair becomes more manageable, and their styling takes less time. The boost up effect is not afraid of moisture and styling products. Another important advantage of root chemistry is naturalness. And the chemicals that are applied to the curls during the procedure solve the problem of oily hair for a long period of time.
Disadvantages of root hair chemistry
Hair root chemistry has several disadvantages. The main one is the “creep effect”. Unfortunately, not all salons are warned about it. The fact is that the volume obtained with the help of this procedure is not washed off over time, but "shrinks". Visually, it looks rather strange. Smooth hair at roots, then volume, and smooth ends. This feature of the fair sex was dubbed the "cheburashka effect".
In addition, root chemistry dries out hair very much. Nourishing and moisturizing oils (for example, burdock) will help to cope with this problem.
Another important drawback is the high cost of this procedure. It is possible to save money if you contact a private master. And although there are a huge number of ads on the Internet for the provision of hairdressing services at home at low prices, you should not trust your hair to an unverified master.
Feedback on the boost up procedure
On the Internet, you can find a huge variety of reviews about root hair chemistry. Some are delighted with this procedure, others believe that the money was wasted, while others complain of serious damage to the curls. Here are just a few of them.
Angelina, 20 years old
I have naturally long and thick hair... But due to lack of time, I constantly collected them in a ponytail, and I so wanted my hairstyle to be perfect. In the salon, I was told about root chemistry. After much thought, I finally decided on this procedure. The result exceeded all expectations. Even after long wearing headgear, my hair looks like I just left the salon.
Larisa, 34 years old
My hair was dull and lifeless. On a local free classifieds site, I saw a post from a private technician talking about root chemistry. The price for the procedure was relatively low. The hairdresser told me for a long time about the wonderful transformation of hair. However, I was horrified when I saw myself in the mirror. My hair has turned to straw. I spent more than six months on their restoration.
Nina, 28 years old
I have long dreamed of a boost up, but the high cost of the procedure stopped me. For my birthday, I decided to make myself a gift and signed up for a salon for root chemistry. After the procedure, the hair looked like a magazine cover, and there were no problems with styling. It was enough just to slightly dry the curls with a hairdryer - and the perfect image is ready. However, my delight did not last long. As the roots grew back, the volume also "slid" down. It looked terrible. The iron did not help. For almost six months, I just burned out my hair with a styler, and then did a short haircut.
From this article, you were able to find out about what root hair chemistry is, and also what the fair sex thinks about this procedure. The boost up has both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, before doing the root hair chemistry, carefully weigh the pros and cons. It is best to do this procedure in the salon, with a trusted master and using quality products. We draw your attention to the fact that too low a price should alert you, most likely during the procedure a low quality serum will be used.

Root chemistry can make hair four times more voluminous, and appearance hairstyles or haircuts will remain unchanged.
Method essence
Boost up is, in fact, a perm, but a root one. That is, in this case, the main hairline remains unchanged: straight, smooth - the effect is only on the zone at the roots. The great advantage of the procedure is that the hair is lifted very naturally. No one can understand that the volume of the hairstyle is created artificially.
The procedure is carried out in a peculiar way: the root volume is created by curling curls on special hairpins in the shape of a figure eight. Before and after curling, the strands are treated with special fixing and fixing chemical compounds.
But what means for the root volume of hair are the most effective and how to choose the right ones, this will help to understand
Let's note the harmlessness of these formulations: unlike the usual perm, boost up does not cause such harm to hair, does not dry it out, does not turn it into "straw".

The essence of root curling
A distinctive feature of this procedure is that the hair remains straight, but becomes as voluminous as possible. Moreover, everything looks so natural that those around them will not even guess that the master was working on the image. The secret lies in several nuances:
- the upper and lower part of the hair is not involved in the process;
- the curling of the strands is carried out using smooth hairpins;
- formed curls are fixed with foil;
- after the chemical composition is removed from the hair, a fixing balm must be applied.
The volume appears immediately after the procedure and lasts long enough. Moreover, it persists at any time of the year, regardless of weather conditions and wearing hats.
At home, you can perform only a "lightweight" version of the root perm. To do this, use a curling iron with embossed heating plates, which press the hair at the roots for several seconds. Volume, pomp are guaranteed, but only until the next shampooing.
Possible complications
A client after a root perm may face the following troubles:
- dryness of the hair will increase - it will be difficult to style the hair, the strands begin to become electrified and fluffed;
- hair fragility increases significantly - it will be possible to correct the situation only with the help of specific care for curls using professional means;
- as soon as the hair grows back, the resulting effect disappears - the masters recommend doing a root perm for those women whose hair grows too slowly.
Proper care after
Even if the effect on the hair was gentle, after the procedure, it will be necessary to carry out specific caring procedures. And some recommendations are given by the master immediately after the root perm:
- shampoos and balms should not contain silicone and sodium lauryl sulfate;
- 2 times a week you need to apply masks to care for curly hair;

How long does the effect last
The client is immediately warned that the effect obtained after the root perm will last for a maximum of 6 months, after which the procedure will have to be repeated. But if the hair grows too quickly and the woman is forced to adjust the haircut every 2-3 months, then the volume and splendor persist only during this period.
In order for the root curling of the hair to be perfect, and the result to be as positive as possible, it is worth listening to the recommendations from specialists:
- During "critical days" you should not carry out procedures - hormonal background women are disturbed, and this can skew the results.
- Before visiting a beauty salon, you do not need to wash your hair, it should be slightly dirty.
- After curling, you need to protect your hair from ultraviolet rays, for which not only hats are used, but also specific sprays, balms.
Permed perm is a relatively new procedure that has not yet become widespread. But it is she who effectively and for a long time solves the problem of straight, "not obedient" and thin or too heavy hair.
