How to Make Hair Look Thicker: Volume, Texture & That Perfect Let-Down Moment
If you're always on the hunt for ways to make your hair look thicker, it all comes down to volume, lightness, and keeping strands separated without weighing them down. Whether you're prepping for a big night out or just want that effortlessly full hair day, here's how to fake thickness—and keep it.
1. Start With a Blow Dry or Blowout
One of the best-kept secrets to thicker-looking hair is a proper blow dry. Use a round brush to lift hair at the roots while drying. Always blow dry in the opposite direction of how your hair naturally falls to maximize lift.
Pro tip: flip your head upside down for an extra volume boost at the crown.
2. Keep Humidity Out
Humidity flattens volume and clumps strands together. A good anti-humidity spray or serum can help preserve that airy, full texture all day long.
3. Curl or Wave for Body
Loose waves or curls naturally make your hair appear fuller. Use a wide barrel curling iron and curl away from your face. After curling, finger-comb gently to keep separation and prevent heaviness.
4. Use a Buckle Scrunchie While You're Out
If you’re curling your hair in the morning but don’t want to ruin it while running errands, working out, or commuting—scrunch it up in a Buckle Scrunchie or Buckle Hair Tie as a messy bun. These patented hair accessories keep hair secure without creating dents, damage, or messing up your curl or wave pattern. When you’re ready to let your hair down, just click the buckle open—and boom: volume, shape, and style, preserved.
5. Go Big with Your Hair Tie
Another trick? The higher your ponytail, the thicker your hair looks. And the more times you wrap a hair tie around, the higher your ponytail is. Use a chunkier hair scrunchie like the Buckle Scrunchie to wrap your hair only once or twice—creating more lift at the root and less tightness at the base.
6. Tease Strategically
If you want even more height, a light tease at the crown can make a dramatic difference. Focus on the underlayers and smooth the top layer for a polished look.
Want hair that looks thicker, fuller, and photo-ready in seconds? Add a Buckle Scrunchie or Buckle Hair Tie to your daily rotation and give your hair the volume it deserves—without the damage.
