If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or flipping through the latest fashion magazines, you’ve probably noticed a major trend making waves—big, voluminous hair is back! After years of sleek, minimalist styles, we’re seeing a resurgence of bouncy, full-bodied locks that scream confidence and glamour. Whether it’s soft, tousled waves or a full-on Texas blowout, this look is all about movement, texture, and drama.
But here’s the thing—getting (and keeping) that perfect voluminous look takes more than just a round brush and some hot air. The right cut, styling techniques, and high-quality products are essential to creating and maintaining effortless, long-lasting volume. At Evolve Salon, we’re here to break it all down for you.
Why Is Big Hair Back?
Blame it on the fashion world, TikTok, or the growing nostalgia for ‘90s and early 2000s supermodel hair, but volume is officially the “It” style of the year. Think bombshell layers, curtain bangs, and gravity-defying root lift—styles that feel feminine, polished, and fun.
Plus, we’re all a little tired of the ultra-flat, slicked-back look. It’s time to embrace movement and texture again, and with the right approach, anyone can rock a voluminous ‘do—whether you have fine, medium, or thick hair.
How to Achieve Maximum Volume: Pro Tips from Our Stylists
Getting long-lasting volume isn’t just about teasing your roots and hoping for the best. Here’s how we recommend making your hair big, beautiful, and bouncy—without the frizz or crunch.
1. The Right Cut = Instant Lift
Want effortless volume? Start with the right haircut. Layers are your best friend when it comes to boosting body and movement.
Long, soft layers work wonders for medium to thick hair, adding bounce and shape.
Face-framing layers and curtain bangs create movement around the face, making hair appear fuller.
A blunt cut with internal layering adds hidden volume for fine hair without sacrificing thickness.
At Evolve Salon, our expert stylists specialize in customized haircuts that enhance your natural texture—whether you’re going for big, voluminous waves or a power-blowout look.
2. Volumizing Products: The MVPs of Big Hair
You can’t have big, bouncy hair without the right styling products. Using lightweight, high-performance formulas(rather than heavy, sticky ones) is the key to volume without buildup.
Here are our top picks from the brands we love and carry at Evolve Salon:
KEVIN.MURPHY Angel.Wash & Angel.Rinse – The perfect volumizing shampoo and conditioner duo for fine, color-treated hair. It cleanses gently without weighing hair down.
KEVIN.MURPHY Body.Builder Mousse – A lightweight, buildable mousse that gives soft, touchable volume without the crunch.
KEVIN.MURPHY Doo.Over Dry Powder Spray – A hybrid of hairspray and dry shampoo, this keeps volume locked in while absorbing excess oil for a fresh, weightless feel.
K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask – Keep your voluminous locks healthy and strong by rebuilding damaged hair bonds with this cult-favourite treatment.
3. Blow-Dry Like a Pro
If you want maximum volume, your blow-drying technique matters. Here’s the tried-and-true method we use at the salon:
Towel-dry and prep your hair with a volumizing mousse or root spray (like EVO Root Canal).
Flip your head upside down and rough-dry until it’s about 80% dry. This instantly lifts your roots.
Section your hair and use a round brush to lift at the roots while blow-drying. Aim the nozzle upward for extra lift.
Cool shot it! Finish each section with a blast of cool air to set the volume in place.
For extra hold, mist some KEVIN.MURPHY Doo.Over Dry Powder Spray at the roots.
4. Heatless Volume Hacks
Don’t want to use heat every day? No problem! Try these heatless tricks for overnight volume:
Velcro Rollers – Roll sections of dry hair at the crown, spray lightly with EVO Root Canal, and let them set for an hour.
Braid Your Hair Before Bed – Loosely braiding your hair at night creates natural waves and built-in body in the morning.
Silk Pillowcases – Sleeping on silk prevents frizz and flattening, helping you keep that salon-worthy bounce longer.
Keep Your Volume Game Strong
Big, voluminous hair is all about confidence, movement, and the right products. Whether you’re rocking an effortless blowout, soft waves, or a power-lifted ponytail, maintaining volume is easier than you think with the right cut, technique, and styling routine.
