... Read moreAs someone who has always loved rocking wavy hair but often struggled with volume, I can totally relate to the frustration of flat, lifeless waves. One game-changing trick I've learned involves using a quality leave-in product combined with proper drying techniques. After washing, I apply a leave-in conditioner or curl enhancer like Bounce Curl to damp hair, which helps define the waves without weighing them down. Instead of rough towel drying, I either air dry or use a diffuser on low heat. This helps prevent frizz and keeps the waves intact. Once my hair is mostly dry, I gently shake out and scrunch the waves to break up any clumps and add volume—this simple move really lifts the roots and adds bounce. If you're looking to maximize volume, try this hack: Apply your leave-in, let your hair air dry or diffuse, then lightly remove any product buildup by finger-combing or fluffing your hair near the roots. This method can transform your wavy hair into a full-bodied, vibrant style that lasts all day. In my experience, combining these steps with a product designed specifically for wavy hair, like Bounce Curl, makes a huge difference. It not only adds moisture but also strengthens and enhances wave patterns, giving you that coveted bounce and volume. Give this routine a few tries, and you’ll notice your waves looking healthier and more voluminous every time!

Why I stopped pixie diffusing my wavy/curly hair✨
Pixie diffusing works wonders for extra volume, however it frequently caused my hair to dry wonky the closer it got to my root. This is especially true for my bottom layers as they tend to dry in a looser pattern and don’t want to “curl” up into the diffuser (this is totally normally to have multip
