One influencer recommended brush styling only the top layer. Then you get some definition where it's really seen but the underneath pumps up the volume. I also really scrunch diffuse the roots first upside down. Then when about 80 or 90%dry I root clip, hit a few up top and rinish air drying. I also found that plopping g before diffusing gave me more volume. I put all hair on top, not the typical plop you see where the crown is flattened.
My best voluminous results are from raking my hair upside down in the shower. No parting. I go over my whole head twice (sometimes 3 times) criss crossing my hands. I then take a brush just to comb my "bang" or "fringe" area and the outline down in the front. This is while my head is upside down. Before I do that I add Curl Keeper Original styler liquid. Very light product. Then I scrunch. After that I apply Volume Foam by Curl Smith mostly at roots on top of my head (leftover foam on rest of hair)then I apply a strong hold gel on the length of hair. I wet plop but lately been dry plopping BUT I always micro plop to form the curl pattern some more. Another rake and shake method is to part your hair like you did, take a section, brush to smooth then rake and shake the section. That works for me too but the shower method is the easiest and gives me most volume. I do however get bored and do brush styling. I have so many brushes and products. It's from watching curly hair influencers LOL> btw, my hair is low density and fine.
That’s so informative and sounds so good, thank you! Will definitely be experimenting with different methods and they’re great ideas thank you so much! X
@@gracewignall Oh, you're welcome. I'm a bit obsessed haha. Another good tip for fine hair is skip the conditioner (if your hair is healthy and not colour treated and or tangles excessively. ). Depends on the hair. I use another product from Curl Keeper called Slip and it's a detangler and leave in. It's a spray on. Safe for color treated hair too. I put that on after I shampoo and before I put on all the other products. My fav shampoos are Curl Keeper Energizing Shampoo and also Innersense Hair bath for fine/medium hair. Then of course you can clarify once in awhile and use something deeper. I like Curl Keeper Rapid Repair and Raw Curls Biotin Masque. Not much is need for both. Experimenting is fun :)

The wonky curls in front, re wet just those pieces and brush style.
@@juliedavenport9624 yeah definitely would be easier than brush styling the whole head!
