10th) Va-Va-Volume!

Heyaaa Curly,

In honor of the 10th #CurlyFriendTip, I'm bringing you my top ten tips for volume!

1) Using light weight products - this one is obvious because we have all heard about gravity, nonetheless sometimes it is very hard to find good products that are not to heavy. I really love Giovanni's direct leave-in!

2) Styling my curls with the head upside down - I know, this kills my neck but it is the most effective way to get voluminous yet defined curls

3) Clipping the roots randomly before diffusing and until the curls are totally dry

4) Diffusing my curls upside down - this is a crucial step that I NEVER skip

5) After diffusing, when my hair is 95% dry, I always remove the diffuser bit, turn the blow dryer to it's cold setting, maximum speed and blow dry my roots (always with my hair upside down) for about 1 minute

6) Scrunching out the gel cast after diffusing, again with the head upside down

7) Shaking up the roots every morning (and whenever I go to the toilet through the day so that people don't think that I'm to crazy)

8) Pineappling whenever I can

9) Flipping my hair from one side to another through the day

10) Using Cantu's dry shampoo on the roots on very flat critical days
