Fall hair styles may be simpler, but they don't lack the volume and bounce. Here are simple tips on how to add volume to your hair.

1. Cut Corners

Extra hair adds weight. If hair is one length, add long layers in the front for more movement and volume.

2. Turn it Upside Down

Blow-dry wet hair upside down. Once your hair is dry, switch the dryer to cool mode and direct it to your roots. This volumizing trick helps keep the scalp healthy.
