Introduction
Many brides want to achieve big, voluminous hair on their wedding day, but for those with flat hair, it can be a challenge. Luckily, there are ways to add volume and body to flat hair using the right techniques and products. In this article, we will cover two step-by-step tutorials by John Frieda on blow drying and using rollers to achieve big hair for brides.
Blow Drying Tutorial
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
Start by washing your hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Towel dry your hair until it is slightly damp, then apply a volumizing mousse or spray throughout your hair to add texture and hold.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into small sections using clips. This will make it easier to blow dry each section individually and ensure that you get maximum volume.
Step 3: Blow Dry Upside Down
Flip your head upside down and start blow drying your hair from the roots to the ends. Use a round brush to lift the roots and create volume as you dry each section. Make sure to keep the blow dryer moving to prevent heat damage.
Step 4: Finish with a Cool Shot
Once your hair is dry, switch your blow dryer to the cool setting and blast your hair with cool air. This will help set the style and lock in the volume.
Step 5: Add Finishing Touches
Finish off your big hair look with a spritz of volumizing hairspray to keep everything in place. You can also gently tease the roots for extra volume or add some loose waves with a curling iron for a romantic touch.

Step 1: Prep Your Hair
Start by washing and conditioning your hair with products designed for volume. Towel dry your hair until it is slightly damp, then apply a volumizing mousse or spray throughout your hair to add texture and hold.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into small sections and roll each section onto large Velcro rollers. Start at the roots and roll towards the ends, securing the rollers in place with clips.
Step 3: Blow Dry Your Hair
Use a blow dryer to heat the rollers and set the style. Make sure to blast your hair with cool air once it is dry to help set the curls and add extra volume.
Step 4: Remove the Rollers
Once your hair is completely dry, carefully remove the rollers and gently finger comb your hair to loosen the curls and add volume. You can also tease the roots for extra lift.
Step 5: Finish with Hairspray
To finish off your big hair look, apply a generous amount of volumizing hairspray to hold everything in place. You can also add some accessories like a sparkly hair clip or a veil for a bridal touch.
