Donne du volume à tes cheveux
“I want more volume !” A refrain that has been infamous among all of us for a long time , and which is still relevant today! It's a daily battle for many women withstraight , wavy orcurly hair whotry as best they can to obtain nice volume , but often find themselves with flattened hair without shape or volume, while they despair of having lioness hair .

One of my best friends at university struggled for a long time for this volume , she wanted, like all of us, to have more and to grow her hair . But, unfortunately for her, Madam President did not yet exist. ?

So she tested everything that came in her way. From volumizing spray to volumizing shampoo , absolutely everything, it was a declaration of war made on hair. #duvolumeourien

I don't know if it was the right method, but what is reassuring is that today Madam President is here to help you in this quest for absolute volumes . Yes, we are going to offer you our tips forgiving volume to your hair .


Let 's start with a good base


Avoid damaging your hair ! I know it seems logical, but when you're in a hurry or don't necessarily check the composition of the products , you can damage your hair without even realizing it.

To do this, start by paying attention to shampoos that promise a thousand and one wonders to give volume to your hair , because they can often be quite aggressive for your tiffs! We prefer to turn to gentle shampoos , like Resolution No. 5 my strengthening & anti-hair loss shampoo , carried out with the rest of your routine Madam President of course ?

Take the time to massage your scalp well to loosen the roots while shampooing, then leave room for yourResolution no. 6 my nutri-active mask , before rinsing and drying your hair gently using Dryme my towel in microfiber. You will get quick drying thanks to the intense absorption capacity of the towel. It speeds up drying time and helps coat the hair .

The goal being to reduce as much as possible the exposure of your hair to a direct heat source, always refer a towel to your hair dryer , and believe me, your hair will thank you!

You do not have a choice ? Are you in an emergency? Or do you love your hairdryer? Use cold air for your hair, less aggressive than hot air.

Yes, but I love blow drying! What do I do without heat? Ok for hot air, but don't forget your all-important heat protectant to avoid damaging your hair.

And for the Farrah Fawcett look that will make other funny ladies jealous , use a round comb for guaranteed results.

What treatments to have volume?


We love cocooning moments and our hair does too !


Tea in hand and mask in our hair , we take advantage of this moment of relaxation to relax at home.


But not only ! The moments of cocooning also allow you to create and test DIY projects that you save and put aside each time . Hop hop , it 's time to search your Instagram recordings , we're sure you have some . Be careful, choose a treatment adapted to your hair and favor gentle treatments, which will not weigh it down too much , otherwise hello sooo the flat effect .

If you don't yet have a file of 100 DIY videos saved on your Instagram, don't hesitate to follow this recipe : once every two weeks, before your shampoo, prepare an egg mask .

A perfect ally, egg protein will thicken and strengthen your lengths, while adding shine. Then rinse your hair with cold water to seal it. scales , depending on your porosity. Besides , I hope you still remember our porosity friend !

To use on damp hair, head forward, apply a small amount of mousse and knead the lengths. A blow with a hairdryer (cold) to dry the product and it's in your pocket.


Sebum out of my sight : Tips and volume


It seems that fine hair often rhymes with oily hair . You notice that your hair tends to gray quite quickly, even though it is already lacking volume, that's it!

We recommend that you first avoid repeated washing . Washing your hair regularly can cause the scalp to produce more sebum. And, therefore, to re-grease your hair quickly.

What if we changed the situation?


Little tip, and not the least, opt for a dry shampoo.


Dry shampoo is a spray to spray on the scalp. It contains powders (rice, corn starch, etc.) responsible for absorbing the sebum accumulated on the roots, as well as specific active ingredients : nettle for oily hair for example. Have you never used one? Don't worry, we'll guide you step by step:

  1. Shake your dry shampoo spray well, an important gesture for optimal results!



  1. Spray the product 3 cm from your scalp strand by strand towards the roots



  1. Leave the product to act for a few minutes



  1. Use your dry towel and gently rub your hair



  1. Finally, brush your hair to remove powder residue, this will prevent you from having gray hair before its time ! . ?


And there you have it, your hair is fresh and invigorated for a few hours or a day if it is thick and up to 48 hours if it is fine. Dry shampoo allows you to regulate excess sebum by spacing out the days until your next shampoo, it also allows you to give volume to your roots .

For those who prefer to know exactly what their products contain. Madam President in her great generosity offers you a recipe for homemade dry shampoo.

Madam President's little recipe for homemade dry shampoo? :



  • 30 grams of cornstarch



  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa

  • A few drops of essential oils of your choice to give a pleasant scent to your shampoo (essential oil of lemon, lavender, etc. )


Mix everything , and store the shampoo in an airtight jar.

And if you're really in a hurry and you don't have dry shampoo on hand or the ingredients for DIY, a little talcum powder on the roots will do the trick! Be careful not to apply too much and not to leave the product on your hair. The film effect is not the style we are looking for, do we agree?

As with dry shampoo, let it work, rub with a towel and brush your hair.

Finally , favor straight cuts and mid-length hair to give a voluminous effect to your hair , don't forget to add the food supplements Resolution n °1 or Hairboost to help you achieve your goal.



Nothing can stop you, now voluminous hair is within reach. I'm going to share this article with my college friend, who is still very desperate for its volume. And you, do you have any other effective tips for giving volume to your hair?
