That is exactly what Beauty Insider will be sharing with you today! Bring back the volume in your hair without stressing about unruly curly hair. You won’t have to worry about rebonded hair looking flat anymore with these neat tricks. 

Make Rebonded Hair Not Look Flat

1. Change Your Hair Part

Have you heard about how your parting might be causing your hair fall? Well, that is technically true. Where you part your hair trains your hair to stay that way and can cause hair to fall naturally. So, it is a good idea to switch up your hair parting once in a while. If you’ve had it in a middle part, try a side parting this side. The best time to do so is when your hair is still wet. This ensures that your hair doesn’t look lopsided. It is also great for creating volume in your hair instantly. 

2. Back-Brush It

Remember when teasing your hair was all the rage back in 2016? Well, teasing your hair is actually one of the easiest ways to get volume in your hair. Teasing doesn’t have to mean brushing back your hair aggressively, you can back-brush your roots to create soft volume. Use a large paddle brush and do it section by section. 

3. Blow-Dry Upside Down

One of the easiest ways to make your rebonded hair appear not so flat is to blow dry your hair upside down! This method is easy and requires no technique or other tools. Just flip your hair upside down and blow-dry them in that direction. 

4. Boost Your Roots

Is your rebonded hair looking a little flat these days? Seek help from roost-boosting products! They are a godsend to making rebonded hair not so flat. It acts as scaffolding and provides both structure and support for your roots. Look out for products specifically designed for fine hair. This way, the product won’t weigh down your hair. 

5. Put in Hot Rollers

If you don’t want to create any heat damage to your hair, heat rollers are the way to go. Unlike flat irons and curling irons, you don’t need any special technique and it won’t damage your hair! You can put them in while doing your makeup and 20 minutes later, voila! Your rebonded flat hair now looks voluminous. Rolling away from your face can give you that Hollywood wave while curling towards gives a more vintage effect.  

6. Volume-Building Shampoo

Although this may come as no surprise, but having a good shampoo is key to voluminous hair. If your rebonded hair is looking flat, you might just be using the wrong shampoo. Get your hands on a volume-building shampoo instead to boost your hair’s volume. One thing to look for in these types of shampoo is translucent products. They usually contain less conditioning ingredients and some don’t even strip your hair or colour!

7. Crimp Your Roots

Got a crimper lying around in your room? Time to put it to good use and start crimping your hair! It is an amazing volume booster and all you need to crimp is your roots. In doing so, you’ll be able to roughen up your hair’s texture and allow it to stand out from your scalp. It creates a soft and natural volume that will have your flat rebonded hair looking voluminous. 

8. Sleep in a Bun

Sleeping in a bun is the easiest way to volumise your hair. It is also the simplest way you can make your rebonded hair look not so flat! The best way to do so is to pull your damp hair into a loose bun high on top of your head. This method helps your hair dry a little lifted from the scalp. Thus, when you wake in the morning, you’ll have instant volume and soft curls! 

9. Dry Shampoo

While some use dry shampoo 2 days after washing their hair to keep it looking fresh, you might want to reconsider doing that. The truth is, by the time you realise your hair looks dirty and oily, your hair’s natural oils are already hurting your volume as it weighs down your hair. Take this approach instead: coat your scalp with a layer of dry shampoo as soon as you’re done blow-drying. This way, you’ve already created a barrier to stop the oil from sliding down. Thus, allowing your hairstyle and volume to last a little longer. If you are looking for more texture to volumise your flat rebonded hair, spray dry shampoo down your lengths. 

10. Add Colour

A little secret to help make your rebonded hair not appear flat is to add a bit of colour! Bleaching or dying your hair can create texture on your hair. What’s more, is that it roughs up your hair a little so it doesn’t appear slippery. To be fair, you don’t need to colour your whole head to achieve this effect. Go for a few trendy peek-a-boo highlights under your hair can give you that textured boost. It is also a great idea for those to try out dyeing their hair for the first time!Â
