The best products for party hair: Add volume, style big waves, or create an impressive bouffant
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The higher the hair, the closer to God – so if you're planning on being sinful, adding a bit of volume is one tactic to ensure you remain guilt-free.
Nothing can bring down a party look – and your mood –more quickly than lank, flat hair. Back-combing is a skill best left to those with healthy hair – a brittle and broken bird's nest is not a good look on anyone.
But if you are attempting an up-do, rough drying with a hairdryer will provide a more workable texture, while straightening the tips will ensure the final look is sleek rather than scary.
Powder styler
£6.99, Fudge Urban, Superdrug.com
Shake this fine, scented powder into your palm to increase volume at the roots and add just enough texture to stop your hair from slipping straight out of its style.
Clearly Naked volume shampoo
£2.35, Herbal Essences, boots.com
Fine hair needs some serious attention to give it a boost. Get things started with a shampoo and conditioner from this silicone-, paraben- and colourant-free range.
Volumize leave-in conditioner, Wella System Professional
£14.50, salons nationwide
Designed not to weigh down fine hair, this should be smoothed through clean, towel-dried hair before blow-drying into an impressive bouffant.
Mousse Forte
£10.25, sebastianprofessional.com
Mousse might have gone out of fashion – after all, crispy is a texture best saved for chips – but this modern, strong-hold version is ideal for styling bouncy curls and big waves.
Miracle dry shampoo, Aussie
£1.99, available nationwide
Dry shampoo doesn't just banish greasy roots when you've over-slept – it can add volume, and a welcome hit of freshness when heading out straight after work.
