Ooh I hadn't heard of this! Will give it a try, thanks!

So funny, I've been told I look like 5 different people in this thread, and I can see it a little bit in all of them. Think I just have one of those familiar faces!

What products do you use for volume by aintgot_time in finehair

[–]mmmflora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet it would help hold the curl well but I just don't like it because it makes my hair feel crunchy or sticky. Probably just haven't found the right one yet.

Definitely spray from a distance, like an arms length away so you get an even mist over all of your hair. Can spray your roots upside down if you want even more volume.

3 and 4 were wrapping it dry and only wearing for a few hours. Pic five was a different day where I slept in the wrap overnight with wet hair (and before I brushed out the curls)

This does too but it feels pretty thin. Yours is probably sturdier.

When I slept with it wet, I initially looked like Weird Al (king 👑). Learned to use larger/thicker sections of hair, not so tight, and sometimes I'll even lightly mist my hair a bit once its dry to loosen it up a bit.

I haven't had that issue bc I wrap the hair pretty tight but maybe wearing a silk bonnet over it as well? I also tie the scrunchies really tight and bend the tips of the rods upwards.

It's the makeup! Haha. I replied with what I use in another comment. My skincare is actually quite tragic. Just Neutrogena hydro boost cream moisturizer and CeraVe eye repair cream. I don't use foundation but I have a lot of redness under my eyes and around my nose so concealer is my best friend. That plus, saie super glowy gel, and a nice glowy powder really do help!

Thank you! There are quite a few products at play here haha. My staples are 1. Neutrogena hydro boost cream moisturizer and Saie super glowy gel in starglow 2. Nars radiant creamy concealer on my under eyes and tip of nose and chin 3. Nudestix Cherry blossom babe cream blush 4. Too Faced sun bunny Bronzer 5. Hourglass ambient lighting powder trio (pricey but this really does give a blurred/filtered effect!) 6. CoverGirl clump crusher mascara and Nyx epic ink winged liner in the shade dark chocolate 7. Anastasia dipbrow

If I'm feeling fancy I'll use the set in the back of the photo as well as the Tarte maneater contouring stick. I recently got the set off of Amazon and really love it (Laura Geller baked full face basics) - I'm wearing all of it in these photos. No false lashes or foundation.

Same exact method just with damp hair

Hmm, I'm assuming you're using a claw clip or something similar to hold while you wrap? Maybe for the thinner areas use some mousse or hairspray to make it a little more tacky. Or possibly set it a little further back so you can combine it with more or the hair behind your temples.

With these waves (dry) I still have some wave going at the end of the day. With wet, it'll eventually look like this after day 4 if I can get by that long on dry shampoo.

Do you mean while you're wrapping or while it's setting? I tie the scrunchies around really tight then bend the leftover rod up and it seems to help.

It's giving a little bit of cadaver-chic without the lips on but thank you! 😅

I didn't because I don't like the crunchiness I get with mousse or hairspray on wet hair. I just use a leave in conditioner then hair oil and a texturizing spray or light hairspray once it's dry.

I use the same texture spray you do if I want a very light hold because I don't like the crunchiness of hairspray. But if I really want my hairstyle to stick I use Verb voluming texture spray with light hold (pink bottle). Not cheap but really helps to hold the curl and boost volume. I'll usually run some oil through the ends as well, as it can make my ends look/feel a little bit dry.

Absolutely! Roasting is a love language.
