46 years and I had resigned myself to flat dull hair. Stumbled across this video and it has changed my hair game! (And inspired me to do the makeup to go along with it!) Thank you so much!!

[@harmonize_beauty]

I love hearing this! You are so welcome! And thanks for watching!

[@shannonorielly4239]

Rena Wolf Same, I'm 48. Looks like we still got it! 🇨🇦🕊

[@taylorkilloy4670]

OMG I've seen this adorable woman on Pinterest for years and I FINALLY watched a video of her. She is so fun to watch, very informative and cute as hell!!!!

[@harmonize_beauty]

Haha! Thanks so much!

[@katecameron7079]

Same!!

[@mariannescarfe6836]

Yes I was like WHAT?? This ladies the Pinterest photo I take to my hairdresser to copy 😂🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@rnkiley]

I never would've though you had fine hair. For 30 years I have been experimenting with different products and styling for body and never could get it right. In all of my photos I am the girl with the eternal bad hair day. Thank you so much for sharing your skills. These videos are a blessing!

[@mariafernandarebora6820]

I love how you don't keep anything to yourself and share every detail! I have thin hair, and very little, a few days ago I tried your blow-drying and it worked! Actually, the next day when I woke up I still had some volume! So thanks for sharing!!

[@chelsibartlett1890]

I love how you give every detail. You don’t edit and fast forward through parts of your video! I just turned 29 and have really thin hair from a thyroid disorder. I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos! 🖤

[@rockforester7908]

My hair also became very thin from a thyroid disorder. I try not to let it get me down so I use clip-in hair extension, not for length but for volume. I use the cheaper synthetic ones and nobody knows the difference.

[@donnalastra1067]

OMG! I tried this yesterday on my shoulder length bob and my hair was BIG! I’m watching again ; going for even BIGGER hair today. Lol. Love your vids!

[@juliegraves6409]

Harmony.... you have taught me so much about hair and make-up. I am 55+ and I needed some tips and tricks for my tired old makeup routine. I have started using the Maskcara makeup because of you have inspired me with your tutorials. Thanks again! I appreciate you!💗

[@deedee19000]

This is by far the coolest hair I have ever seen. Just want to show this to my hairdresser... Ok pay attention... I want to look like this!

[@lisaross2958]

This actually worked for my hair. Good to have a tutorial; watching my stylist work isn't enough education for me. We mortals need repetition to understand technique.

[@calamityjane5484]

Who else is picking up Heather Locklear vibes circa 2000?

[@1greatteach192]

For sure!!!

[@debrasalt3598]

This young Lady has it all over the Hollywood crowd @@1greatteach192

[@TA-ib3dv]

Yes! She’s like a cross between Heather Locklear and Diane lane !

[@388Caroline]

calamityjane 54 she better looking 😂

[@patricadyson778]

Donna Mills was on Dinasty.

[@jennibee3842]

you are thr first person who actually taught me how to do my hair - I am not kidding you. I am 53 and not a girl who has ever understood makeup and hair. I did my hair with volume with your drying technique and a few products that I normally NEVER use. But wow what a difference> Thank you so much.

[@ozgesolmaz752]

she's so freaking flawless

[@Melli6000]

I followed this tutorial today and my hair had volume all day! It looked so full and had the look of just getting a blowout! Loved it and thankful for your awesome tips!

[@jaymoney5650]

Wow heyyy

[@marlynnbeach4836]

Just saw you on Pinterest when I was looking at hair and saw you. Been watching your videos. Learning alot!

[@shearsparkle]

this and the straight hair with a side part tutorial are soo helpful! thank you for sharing that half circle technique! i have lately been tryin to do more straight hair just to spice it up from always curling my hair, and i can't wait to try it out the next time i straighten my hair.

[@kandilynhunter5471]

You're honestly stunning and you're so so sweet and knowledgeable and I HAVE NEVER EVER been taught how to properly style, flat iron or back comb my hair correctly and the look u created is what I've tried and wanted to achieve my whole adult life (42 years old) until watch this video.. You have saved my life right now!! Plus I have been using smoothing serum etc. all over and I get weighted down like u said!! Luckily I have almost all the Aveda products u used minus a few but I'll get those ASAP!! AGAIN, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!

[@harmonize_beauty]

Thank you so much!

[@martinez.31n]

First time seeing one of your videos. Literally the best hair tips I have ever gotten

[@harmonize_beauty]

Yay!! So happy to hear it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@CupcakeCartel1]

Love the contrast of colors in your hair

[@ReaganLoughry]

I had to watch all the way through and hear in bits that you have fine hair and then thin hair. That’s relatable. I subscribed right away.

[@lisazook9675]

I just ordered the air control and you are so right! The volume it gives is crazy! I hope it stays all day!

[@GirlArmy21]

Loveeeeee your hair!! Gorgeous! Great tips!

[@debrasalt3598]

I wish I could afford an iron-wish they'd come down in price but I'm waiting to get a decent one.Thanks for all the tips & tricks here!

[@donnadilworth2850]

I just came across this video tonight and Thank You Thank You Thank You ... I have been wanting some volume to my hair but did not know what to do...this is perfect for me and my hair cut...and the fact that I do not wash my hair every day ,this is the answer to my prayers ...again Thank You!

[@southernblackturtle9681]

I love your way of back combing... I've watched a lot of others do it and they're just making a mess... And ripping away at they're hair... Thanks for sharing your method I LOVE!❤

[@Barbie.laraaa]

You are jaw droppingly beautiful! Your face and eyes as well as your hair! Goodness❤️

[@harmonize_beauty]

Oh my goodness! Thank you she much!

[@83kempton]

[@katybug6572]

[@kathymooney3115]

Loved your video. Thank you for showing me some good tip for straightening my hair with volume.

[@anitar2045]

Thank you for sharing your haircut. Took your picture in a salon (I’m a retired hairstylist) and showed the cut I’d like only I didn’t get it. Wish I’d seen this post first. You’re absolutely a pleasure to watch.

[@StephanieLessard525]

Thanks for sharing...even as a beauty school dropout I find I sometimes fall into a funk and don’t know what to do with my hair. Great demo and list of products. I’m in the awkward stage of growing out a graduated bob where the hair flips at the neck...been loving this to take the focus off of the ends. Gotten lots of compliments too. Keep more videos coming. Loving the videos!!

[@g-bgcg]

This video landed in my queue for some reason and I could not be happier. I never know how to describe what I want done to my hair, now I have screen shots. I received a gift certificate for an Aveda hair salon so I will buying some of your hair product recommendation. You are So beautiful and have a great personality. Thank you for this video and details. (Trying to watch and listen to you as hubby is snoring 😂😂😂💤💤💤)

[@SunshineSkully]

Same here! This video landed in my que and I'm ecstatic about this video!

[@Amanda-zt4gc]

Love your videos! Reminds me when beauty guru back in the day how they use to do it. Love it 😍

[@prudzak961]

Finally! Someone who knows how to style hair! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your videos are so helpful.

[@kenyatidwell6104]

This is the cut and look I’ve been wanting for years, but for some reason I can’t find a stylist that seems to understand what I want or tell me how to fix it myself. I’m soooo glad you did this, THANK YOU!

[@NenaLiiz]

stumbled across your video in my feed. watched the whole thing and totally subscribed!! and your totally pretty and great personality 😉

[@harmonize_beauty]

Thank you very much!

[@NenaLiiz]

Harmonize_ Beauty Your very welcome :)

[@mefrn62]

Just found you! You're adorable and so nice and helpful! I have long hair have never been very good with styling. Hope to learn from your videos. Love volume and never knew the mystery 😜new subbie! Mary Ellen

[@jillbogan7929]

Hope this works for super thick curly hair. Just bought the air control on Amazon. Thank you. Your hair is super cutie 💕👍

[@ammerslo2632]

RIGHT!!! Hair cut also makes a difference how your hair lays... Looks lovely!!!💞

[@soulsessionswithkyah8718]

So, I’ve seen tons of tutorials for big hair. Mine is very long and appears to have the same texture as yours. I used your blow out technique and this video tips as well. Omg. AMAZING. My hair looked amazing for THREE DAYS. So worth the extra effort in order to have that fullness for days! Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️

[@harmonize_beauty]

Yay! So happy this helped! Thank you!

[@SammyJaneD]

So glad I came across your channel, thank you for this tutorial, love your look

[@harmonize_beauty]

Thank you so much!

[@FeliciaCrowe93]

I've always wondered how to do this! Thanks for sharing

[@marycox7489]

Jason paterson

[@patselkirk1]

You are the best teacher ever...in my 68 years my hair has never looked so good because of you!!! Thank you so much! Aveda should hire you to train because I have purchased some of their products before and was never really impressed but I just purchased every product you use and my hair is awesome and lasts for days. It is about proper training and their website does not do that.

[@alyssac.209]

When you talked about using the volumizing powder, and described having really healthy and smooth hair that teasing just falls out of, you are describing me!! I've never been able to get teasing to hold in my hair, no matter what method, tool, or hairspray I use. I'm going to ask my stylist about this powder, as I go to an Aveda salon. Thank you so much!

[@harmonize_beauty]

It is the best! You will love it! Pure abundance hair potion.

[@s.taylor8854]

Thank you SOOO much for these videos. I've watched lots of tutorials on here and yours are my favorite.

[@stephaniestark8022]

This is so brilliant. I watch a LOT of KZbin videos but I feel like I learned so much!! THANK YOU

[@sandralee9155]

Stephanie Stark I missed the part showing how she wraps her hair on top darn!

[@sattice]

so glad i found your video. I love aveda products and so rarely come across anyone on youtube using them in tutorials. i go to an aveda salon in houston and have learned to use the smooth infusion before i blow-dry which has drastically cut my need to use a straight iron anywhere but my bangs. best products-great tutorial!!!

[@kristigirl9537]

Best tutorials ever! I'm blonde, fine hair, nearly same length/cut as yours and it's def no easy task to pump up the volume. I'm always trying and failing. Thank you for all the tips and how to's. Finding your channel on here is everything. Forever your student.

[@harmonize_beauty]

Hi! Thank you so much!

[@jayneseamon4068]

I just found you and I'm so glad! You are so informative, I'm going to go to my local Aveda salon for the Aircontrol hairspray.

[@katybug6572]

Ikr?! I NEED that hairspray in my life! I don’t know where to find in CT so I’m gunna check out eBay.. great Tips gurl!! xx 💋😉👍🏻💜

[@amandah2454]

Love your hair style.

[@nikkiharless3109]

She’s totally right about Aveda Air Control Hair Spray. There’s really something about it... I bought it after watching Harmonize Beauty’s vids and thought it may be comparable to my current hair spray and I was totally shocked at the difference.

[@LorryMLewis]

WHY are you answering the same questions over and over??? UGH! YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!

[@harmonize_beauty]

Thank you! Just trying to be helpful!

[@kimberlyclark8478]

I just realized like every pin on Pinterest in my “hair” board is you!! Your hair is the best!

[@shaedeschutter3829]

Another amazing video!!❤️

[@tammywillis1179]

I'm so thrilled I came across your tutorials! Back combing+your suggested products=game changer! Everyone thinks I've been to the salon, thank you!!

[@robinholbrook6576]

Honey, you could make me buy a hot dog and I don’t eat meat nor do I eat anything processed! I just have a Gramma crush on you! Friday I am FINALLY getting my hair cut like yours and I’m 74! Lolol 🌹

[@diamondhair11]

You are the reason that I started on Aveda products. I had a few things from the store that I used by Pantene, but saw you on youtube one day and thought, " I'll just try them". Now I use the Volumizing tonic, Pure abundance hair potion, thickening tonic, texture tonic. Now I've started trying the volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I had a friend years ago who swore by Aveda products, and now I know why.... Oh and their moisturizer for the face is wonderful.... I love it.... Thanks.

[@nonyabzns]

This is the best tutorial on how to get volume. I've never seen it like this before and I will definitely be trying it

[@LegerMelanie]

OMG you’re the girl from Pinterest that I pin all your hairstyles! I’m sooo happy that you created a KZbin channel! I feel that you’re the next « Rachel hair movement » where everyone wants your hair cut! Love love LOVE your style! 😍💇🏼‍♀️

[@96002krown]

I am growing out a longer pixie cut...had not found any new styles I liked until I found you!lol. Mine is still not quite long enough, but had my hairdresser give me a blunt cut today, and am on the road to your style!ha. You are so fun and cute! I am probably old enough to be your Mom...in fact I know I am...he he...but adore your style! Thanks for sharing!!

[@kathyroberts1698]

Just watched this and I actually tried it. Never backcombed in my life. (I’m 51). Omg. I did it! I am now a back combing fool LOL. I will be using this technique forever now. Thank you Harmony! ❤️

[@kimmiller2264]

Found your tutorials just in time for my haircut! I was finally able to get the look I want by asking for blunt ends. Followed your blow dry and big straight hair techniques today, so pleased with the results!!

[@harmonize_beauty]

I am so happy it is working for you!

[@tonyaheyder3586]

I know this is an old video but I am just seeing this now. I have found this to be the most helpful in getting volume. I have really straight and heavy hair and have been trying to find what helps. I have a lot of hair and it is thick, but my hair is always matted to my head and has zero volume. Thanks so much for the tips. I look forward to checking out all your videos.

[@susannekrehbiel864]

Hey, I just wanted to send a huge thanks your way. I was at the salon today and I showed my stylist this viedo and said I WANT THIS...and I walked out today with looking feeling like a supermodel! Lol. I bought all the products you recommend plus a few extras. Just wanted u to know you really helped a 49 year old lady feel super specialHappy Easter. .

[@harmonize_beauty]

Oh! This makes me so happy!!! Best comment! Thank you!

[@meepmeepfishergirl]

You don't even know how excited I am that I found you! lol - Hi, My name is Lori and I'm a hair straightener fail. Big time. LOL

[@molliemae6855]

Hi, Lori...lol! Me, too!!! It looks and seems so easy to do!!! I can get mine straight but the top of my hair is always a frizzy mess:(

[@Free-bt6gn]

I really like your style! My hair is so fine so I can't do the backcombing because it causes so much damage. I'll just have to be happy with my natural blonde hair, a great cut and the fortune I'm saving on products and coloring!

[@thepcal9654]

Free2016 try watching her Voloom video. No backcombing, and some great products that maintain the volume. The Aveda powder she uses at the end is like magic!

[@sarahd4168]

Just found ya and this is the best, and only, tutorial I've seen for the way I wear my hair! I also use Aveda religiously for washing and styling but, I haven't tried their heat protectant yet (using a store product currently) so, thank you for showing yours; will be ordering it today!!!

[@Ms8isenough]

Just found this and super happy. I have SO much long, thick hair that to barrel brush for volume means I’m a sweaty, angry monster by the time it’s all done! Cannot wait to get home and try this.

[@harmonize_beauty]

Yay! Thank you for watching!
