This magic hairstyle makes your hair look much fuller

Once you have the right haircut to make your locks look thicker and fuller, there are a few additional tricks that can help bolster the cut to make the most of it. One stylist, Claude Baruk of his namesake salon in Las Vegas says that adding texture to your cut is more beneficial than layers. “Rather than layering hair, texturizing the ends will make hair look longer and fuller,” he said (via Today).

Holly Pistas, the artistic director at Gordon Salon in Chicago, also outlined the difference between layers and texture for Today. “Keeping layers near the crown of the head gives the hair more lift without interfering with the perimeter, giving the hair and the style more density,” Pistas said.

Adding color to your roots, typically a slightly darker color, helps add depth to the look of your hair also. It can essentially hide just how thin your hair might be. It’s kind of like filling in your eyebrows to make them look thicker, according to Fae Norris at Neighborhood Salon in Los Angeles.

Finally, use heat wisely to completely dry your hair. Some techniques like air-drying and towel drying can keep your hair from being as voluminous as it could be. But, heat is also damaging to hair. So, try to use a medium heat to fully dry your hair for the best, fullest results.
