When shopping for a volumizer, look for ingredients like starch, which soaks up extra oil, protein that helps your hair's texture, humectants for dry hair and polymers, which help to thicken each strand of hair. ]
Shampoo and conditioner forms of the volumizers are used just like ordinary shampoo or conditioners. The spray and lotion form of volumizers are used on damp hair near the roots of the hair. In order to use a hair volumizer, the person using the product must flip their head downward and gradually blow dry the hair, with the air being blown along the shaft of the hair until the hair is dry. Drying the hair in this position will increase volume and achieve the desired effect.
