Q&A for How to Reduce Hair Volume

I suggest you use a heavier product on them, which should weigh your curls down a bit. You can also use a little bit of heat to smooth your hair.

You can address the dryness by switching to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. It will also weigh down your hair some. You don't need a specific cut, but you might try a long bob or layered look. To reduce the volume, you could also use styling techniques, such as straightening your hair or putting it into a sleek ponytail.

Shampoo your hair every 2-4 days to keep it clean, which will minimize greasiness. Then, you can style your hair while it's still damp. Otherwise, apply a heat protectant and blow dry your hair before straightening it.

It's a matter of opinion, but high ponytails and top buns tend to look good with thick hair.

You could try using mousse. If that doesn't work, you could try doing a braid and tucking the piece of hair in depending on how long it is; use bobby pins to help.

I would recommend using coconut oil as a homemade option to calm down frizz and volume. Put a large amount on dry hair and leave it in for about 10 minutes, then wash it out.

You might need to see a stylist to fix your haircut. In the meantime, try styling it different ways with products such as mousse or gels. Sometimes if you let hair dry naturally it can be unwieldy. Short hair tends to dry quickly, so be sure to blow dry it the way you want while it is still damp.

You have split ends, so you should get your hair trimmed. This will make a big difference. As for the volume, read through the techniques in the article and decide which one most appeals to you.

Try straightening and/or using a leave-in conditioner. That always helps.

Use serums and lightweight products. Don’t believe the vinegar or coconut oil hype for hair care. This will just make your hair frizzy and big. Use a 1 inch barrel curling iron to curl it in sections, then brush or comb it out afterwards and you’ll have loose beachy waves and a sleeker look = less pouffy volume. This method is more effective and faster than using a flat iron, even if it sounds counterintuitive. Never let them use texturizing/thinning shears on your hair at a salon. It creates different layers throughout the hair, which makes it grow uneven and pouffy.
