I am a fan of the 'bouffant', which I usually seen worn along the crown or back a bit, big and beautiful! My hair simply doesn't do.. big, and sometimes it may do beautiful. I used to try back-combing/teasing a while ago, but beyond the fact that it BARELY put a bump to my thin-ish hair, I was afraid of the damage. I also bought "BumpIt's", but again, thin hair and large plastic piece = not stying in place and showing through my hair. I particularly am a HUGE fan of the ponytail with a bump along the crown to make it look thick and full pulled into a thin, tamed ponytail, but have never been able to achieve this.
Recently, a friend of mine suggested taking the hair, twisting the ends, and then pushing up and pinning. I do this with my bangs already and it works fine, but with a larger amount of hair.. it separates and all, just doesn't work very well.
SO, all you styling enthusiasts out there.. do you know of a way to do a big, safe bouffant (that won't damage hair, or at least not too much) for someone with kinda thin hair that doesn't do 'big' at all? I heard rumors of a hair piece that is shaped like a semi-circle sort of, it's soft and foam like, and apparently works wonders.. but I can't find anything like that anywhere.
Oh and by bouffant I mean both a literal beehive as well as just a bump of volume.. I just want any volume at all actually.. gosh my hair is so flat XD
Some examples of lovely hairstyles I WISH I could do..
