Got Any Hair-Raising Advice? | yohana

Jessica Alba, Marion Cotillard
You are not alone. The look of which you speak—a typical ponytail or chignon, with a lot of volume on top thrown in—is tough to achieve and even tougher to maintain through a long night, especially for women with fine hair.
"First," says John Francis Maseda of McMillan Canale Salon, "start out with clean hair and a bit of mousse." (We love the mousse—and the other volumizing products—from the Ookisa line; some people even report nearly instant results in the hair-thickening department.)
Roughly dry the hair. Then "use a larger-size curling iron to create a soft bounce in hair and spray lightly." (Need a hairspray recommendation? Aveda makes a super-light version, as does Fekkai.)
The third step involves teasing, also known under the more gentle term of "back combing." "Gently," Maseda warns, "not too high, either."
Finally, he says, "brush gently and spray gently. This is a more modern approach, so that the hair is not a stiff as a helmet or back-combed too much!"
Finally, avoid the temptation to touch your hair or fuss with it. The natural oils from your skin can weigh down your 'do, making all of your work for naught.
