To get volume on top of head curls, style your hair upwards to lift it from the scalp, scrunch and hold to encourage curls to form at the roots, and diffuse your roots in a lifted position.
Here's a breakdown of those steps and some additional tips:
-
Style Upwards: When applying your styling products, work them into your hair while lifting the hair away from your scalp. This helps to create space and prevent the hair from lying flat.
-
Scrunch and Hold: Scrunching encourages curl formation. Hold the scrunch at the roots to train the curls to form closer to the scalp.
-
Diffuse Roots (Lifted): Use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer and focus on drying your roots. Flip your head over or use your fingers to lift your roots while diffusing. This helps to create lift and volume as the hair dries.
