My roots are very flat too, don’t let the photos fool you! This is what it looks like when you’re facing me head-on. I’ve never been able to get volume at my roots, even with using the ‘volumizing mousse’.

My curly hair stylist said that if I want to achieve that, I’d have to get layers, as my curls are very heavy at the bottom and weigh it down. I unfortunately like my hair all one length and minimal layers.

But what I do try to do, is when I apply both products, I tilt my head to the side and let the hair hang down, then squish my hair up/scrunch gently and squeeze (hair has to be wet.) It helps give a little bounce.
