Volumizer recommendations for bangs?

**HintOfMint** · January 24th, 2012, 05:10 PM

My bangs tend to get really wispy and stringy. Also my bang area is the thinnest part of my hair, even though the rest of my hair is fairly thick. I'm almost sure it's always been like that, so I'm trying not to worry too much.

Anyhoo, I'm washing my bangs every day to strip the oil and keep it from getting stringy, but I was hoping for some sort of volumizer recommendations. I'm keeping my bangs so I don't really care how damaging it is, seeing as how I'm trimming it fairly regularly.

You could try a dry shampoo or a texturising powder

I second that! Dry shampoo is the best for stringy bangs.

I also agree with dry shampoo... my favorite ones are Batiste and Salon Graffix.

I also recommend dry shampoo (or corn/tapioca starch) and it'd save you from having to shampoo everyday! Win win!

I'd try a dry shampoo or maybe curl them or try a style that would give them volume.

I get volume by 1. never conditioning my bangs and 2. spritzing on john Master's Sea Mist Spray on my damp hair. I fluff with my fingers as they dry.

I dont condition my bangs either. I do use a cueling iron on them quickly, give them a gentle lift or shape with a comb, spray, and if I need to do it agaon, I do. You might even try a different shampoo just for your bangs - if you use cones try something without, if your shampoo doesnt have any protein in try one, or perhaps a volumizung shampoo. I think bangs are so much fun!!

Have you ever considered cutting thicker bangs if your overall thickness can handle it? More hair would give more volume

And I second everyone else's advice so far.

This might be worth a shot, but I have heard of using salt water on hair to give it more volume. I use salt water in my dreads, a very light dilution - it should taste like tears, not any saltier - to help them knot up better, so I imagine salt makes your hair rub against itself more which would create volume.
