Summer is here and, for a lot of us, that means dry, flat hair due to the humidity over the hotter months. And depending on your hair (thickness, length, heritage, etc.), it may be harder for you to get the volume and body you want in your hair over the dog days. Well, here are a few ways to get your hair to stand up and stand out, and stop lying flat and lifeless on your head during the summer. This is… The Body Issue! 
Let’s start with the quickest fix: dry shampoo! Dry shampoo is a volume building and grease removing method of taking care of your hair without having to shower! Sometimes your hair may get oily over 2-3 days, and you don’t want to wash your hair every single day not only to keep it healthy, but because that takes a lot of work. That’s why some genius discovered this amazing product. Apply dry shampoo by spraying it into your hair, starting with the roots and the layers underneath to get rid of excess oil and add body! You don’t even need to wait 2-3 days to add it to your hair. Don’t be afraid to spray it in after your blowdry your hair to create even more volume. Just don’t use it every day! Too frequent of usage can cause hair damage and even hair loss. See more about dry shampoo and hair loss here.
You could also go bodybuilding. But not lifting weights and getting rub-on tans. Get a volume-building shampoo and go wild. It’s actually impressive how a good volume-building shampoo can make your hair stand out and give it that fluffier, fuller look. A couple tips for these volume shampoos are to get something clear or translucent. Also, make sure it has a conditioning treatment included!
Another technique to add volume to your hair is to tease it! You probably already knot this, but back-brushing your hair (gently, I might add) can really boost and “unstick” hairs from each other. If you do this on the under-layers, you’ll get a full-bodied look with zero flatness!
Also, after you get out of the shower, try blow drying your hair upside down. No, don’t hang from the ceiling. Just lean over, whip your hair over your hair toward your feet, and blow dry it that way. This also adds crazy volume and still makes your look healthy, shiny, and full!
