Q&A for How to Make Your Hair Stand Up

You can give it a weekly protein treatment. Just make sure you only leave the treatment on for the amount of time recommended in the instructions.

Add a strong-hold gel or paste to damp strands and pull your hair up between your fingers, raking it from roots to ends like a comb. You can twist the tips for added definition.

You can use gel or hairspray combined with the heat of a blowdryer. You can also tease your roots for a more stable shape.

Yes, your hair will take on a shape more easily after it has been styled that way for a while. When you are trying a new style, it will be challenging to achieve the desired result for the first week or so.

There are a lot of volume products out there, but mousse is one of my favorites. It's easy to apply—you just put a small amount into your roots.

If you want maximum volume, you have to blow dry on the opposite way that you want the hair to fall. For instance, if you want volume when you push your hair back, you'd blow dry it forward toward your face. That will lift the root more.

Usually about four inches but most lengths will work with blow drying tools.

You don't need a round brush specifically. Any brush should work well. You will need a hair product for high hold though. You can you use water for some hold and if you don't have gel, aloe vera and Vaseline will work as gel.
