Volumiser & Texturiser

Does hair volumiser work?

Yes, it does! A volumiser is designed to boost hair volume by lifting the roots and coating the strands so they feel thicker. This makes your hair look fuller, bouncier and easier to style.

If you have limp or flat hair, this hair product can give you the lift you need to create styles with more body. Pairing it with the right hair treatment can help you achieve volume and maintain healthy-looking hair at the same time.

Most volumisers come in lightweight formulas that don’t weigh your hair down. They work best when applied to damp hair before blow-drying, as the heat helps activate the product and lock in the lift. For those who want long-lasting hold, layering a volumiser with a texturiser can add both height and definition without stiffness.

At Hairhouse, you’ll find volumisers in volume sprays, volume powders and volume foams. Each option is made to support healthy styling while giving you control, so your finished look holds its shape throughout the day.

What is the difference between texturising spray and volumising spray?

The difference between a volumising spray and a texturising spray is all about the result. A volumising spray is a styling product that lifts the roots and plumps up the strands, so fine or flat hair looks fuller and bouncier. Use it before a blow-dry, and the heat will lock in the lift so your style stays put.

A texturising spray works differently. Instead of swelling the hair, it adds grip and separation, which makes it easier to shape waves, bobs or curls with definition. It works a bit like a sea salt spray or dry shampoo, absorbing oil at the roots while giving volume and a gritty, undone finish.

Think of volumisers as your go-to for height, and texturisers as your trick for definition. When you use them together, you get a full, textured style that looks effortless and holds beautifully.

Is volumised hair the same as frizzy hair?

No, having volumised locks does not mean you have frizzy hair. Volume adds height and fullness, giving your hair bounce and shape. Frizz happens when the cuticle is rough and the strands lose smoothness.

If fullness is your hair concern, a volumiser can lift at the roots and add body without causing flyaways. Styled the right way, you can create volume that looks smooth, polished, or even a little tousled, depending on the finish you want.

How to volumise hair

Flat roots are common with limp hair and thinning hair, but the right routine helps you add volume and create lift that lasts. It starts with a good wash to keep your roots light, followed by a product that supports body, and finishes with heat styling to set the shape.

Here’s how you can do it at home:

1. Prep your hair: Wash with a volume shampoo and fine hair conditioner to cleanse without weighing your hair down. Towel dry until damp.
2. Pick your volumiser: A root lifting spray targets the base of the hair for lift, while mousse adds all-over body. A volume powder works well if you want quick height at the crown.
3. Blow dry for fullness: Use a round hair brush to lift sections at the roots and direct your blow-dryer at the base until each section is dry. This builds volume into the roots and helps your hair hold its shape. For added bounce, you can finish with a salon-style blowout.
4. Lock in your look: Finish with a light spritz of texture hair spray on dry hair to add grip and keep the style in place without stiffness.

Can people tell when you use a hair volumiser?

No, people should not be able to tell when you use a volumiser. The formulas are designed to feel weightless, so your hair looks naturally fuller without any heavy residue. What shows is volume and lift at the roots, not obvious product build-up. With the right technique, you can create a body that blends into your style and looks effortless.
