How to Bump Up the Roots of Short to Medium Length Curly Hair67

Having curly hair is typically a blessing, unless, of course, you want your hair to stay straight. However, if you'd like to get a little more volume at the roots of your hair without resorting to using heat or harsh chemicals, there are a number of things you can do.

1. Wash your hair the night before. The texture of dry, second-day hair is easier to work with when teasing or using hairspray. The natural oils your scalp produces overnight will help your hair hold the shape you want.

2. When washing your hair, gently massage your scalp with your fingertips to encourage circulation. This will help to lift the roots from the scalp as your hair dries.

3. Apply mousse or root lifter to the roots of your hair after washing and conditioning. This will help to add volume and hold to the roots.

4. Use a blow dryer to dry your hair upside down to give your roots a boost. If you have very curly hair, use a diffuser attachment to prevent frizz. If available, use the cool setting on your blow dryer so as not to damage your hair.

5. Once the roots are dry, divide your hair into three sections; the top, and each side. Use bobby pins to clip up the top section to keep it out of the way.

6. Starting with one side section, start teasing at the roots. To tease, hold a small section of hair up high and use a fine-toothed comb to pull sections of hair over the top, away from the scalp, as if you were brushing against the grain. Smooth the top of the teased portion with your comb to make it look neater, and secure with a couple of bobby pins.

7. Repeat the teasing and securing steps on the other side section.

8. Now, remove the clip from the top section of your hair. Tease this section, but not as aggressively as you did the side sections. The volume at the top of your hair won't be quite as dramatic as the volume on the sides. Smooth the top of the teased portion with your comb and secure with bobby pins.

9. For an even more dramatic look, tease underneath the top section as well. This will make your roots appear much higher.

10. Set your style with hairspray, and you're all done! For best results, use hairspray specifically formulated for volume.

Here are a few additional tips:
If you have very fine hair, you may want to use a texturizing spray instead of mousse or root lifter.
You can also use a toothbrush to tease your hair. This will help to create a more even texture.
If your hair is dry, you may want to apply a leave-in conditioner to the ends to help prevent frizz.
For a more polished look, use a small brush to smooth the top of the teased portion of your hair.
If you're short on time, you can just tease the roots of your hair at the crown of your head.

With a little practice, you'll be able to bump up the roots of your short to medium length curly hair in no time. So go ahead and give it a try!
