Every year when Victoria’s Secret rolls around, we always find ourselves trying to fluff our hair into those same loose, voluminous and bouncy waves. It’s the dreamiest ‘effortless’ hairstyle.

But you don’t always have to spend hours in front of the mirror trying to copy a youtube video on Victoria’s Secret curls (by all means do that) but there are other things you can try…
Quick fixes
The easiest way to add some extra oomph to your hair is by flipping your part. It will instantly boost your roots! Or, take it a step further by dropping your head down and flipping it back up (à la Meghan Markle adding volume on the set of Suits).
The long game
Is your hair thin? You can actually find products that will add natural volume and density back into your hair for healthy and lustrous locks. Try the évolis® WHITE DEEP CONDITIONING MASK, évolis® shampoo for women, Women’s REGAINE® Foam Hair Loss Treatment or Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Elixir.
Part of keeping your hair thick and voluminous is keeping it strong and healthy. Avoid hair breakage with Lady Jayne Snagless Hair Elastics and KMS MOISTREPAIR Anti-Breakage Spray.
Styling solutions
Styling your hair for Victoria’s Secret-style volume is surprisingly simple – though it does involve a fair few steps.

ghd curve® classic curl tong
Next, curl hair with a curler like the ghd curve® classic curl tong. The trick is to curl in different directions for that lived-in look and especially, to curl diagonally instead of vertically to fake extra body. And don’t curl too far above your mid-lengths – it will kill the natural look!
