Everyday Hair Tutorial for Short, No Part Hair

@Got2busa provided me with compensation in exchange for a product mention. All opinions are my own.

Volume is one of the things I consider first when I'm purchasing a hair product. I don't have tons of hair, and I don't have tons of volume on my own. However, I've found that with the right products I can create plenty of volume, even with my short, thin/normal hair.

Over the last month I've been working with some new products from Got2b, and they've made their way into my go-to cabinet for hair products. I love that they are all formuated to create volume AND they smell good- so win, win.

Today I'm sharing my go-to, first- and second-day-after-washing-my-hair styling process. Here's the process behind my short no-part hairstyle.

Teasing comb

This tutorial starts on day one: shower day. I wash my hair, and then while it's still wet, I comb in volumizing mousse at the roots. (Be careful; a little goes a long way with this one.) I make sure it's evenly spread through my hair, and then while it's still damp, I also apply the volumizing spray all over. This gives me my product base. I find that I always get the best volume in my straight hair by day two or three of no washing. The first day is always harder to get volume because I don't have as much product built up in my hair. But I do what I can to get it building, even on the first day. You'll also see the rest of my tricks below.

Next I  blow dry my hair, and then I always apply dry shampoo all over. This gives my slippery, slightly fine hair some grip and even a little more volume. On days two and three, I'll focus the dry shampoo more on my roots, but on day one I use it all over. 

Once my hair is dry and slightly dirtied up, I use my hot flat iron to straighten it a little bit. My hair will usually be pretty straight after blow drying, but now that it's grown out a bit, the ends have started to curl under on their own. I focus on the bottom layers and just get a little of that curl out.

And now for the backcombing. ALL. OVER. MY. HEAD.

My comb has really specific teeth that make backcombing especially effective. I start at the back of my head and just tease wide sections of my hair two-thirds of the way down my head. Then I move to each side and pick up several sections, almost all the way down to my ear.

I also backcomb the top, and I'm not careful about keeping my part. Remember this is the no-part look? It ends up really high and really crazy. But that's good—it will fall, so the higher you start, the better!

I comb through the crazy-high teased hair just a little with my fingers, and then I spray my favorite texturizer through it. This helps to keep some of the lift. 

And then for the hairspray. I love the smell of this spray, and it's not very heavy. It's got a great wide spray, and it keeps the lift I worked so hard for. As I spray I'll lift sections with my fingers and then hold the sections up even after I've sprayed so that they can dry for a few seconds. 

I lift and spray all around—the back, the sides, and the front.

Then I'll flip it a few times from one side to the other, and I'm done! Obviously the more I play with it, the more volume it loses, so I try to keep my hands out of it. But flipping it to the opposite side is a great way to instantly lift it later on in the day as well.

And that's my everyday routine. I'll do the same thing tomorrow, and then on day three I might mix it up with a half top-knot or even curl it. It's really easy to do, and honestly it's more about using the right products (and teasing comb) than anything else!
