HAVE YOU SEEN THIS NEW VIRAL ROOT VOLUME HACK FOR CURLY HAIR?

Have you seen this viral root volume hack by @ash.ires Would you try this volume hack?
I thought the concept was very innovative but unfortunately, I found that the hair sitting underneath the clip took to long to dry… I also noticed that playing with my hair while it is wet and after styling created more frizz than I prefer.

i think her hair was damp with gel product, not completely water

[@Naninanimous]

That and the girl has tighter curl pattern than the girl redoing what she saw the other girl do from the beginning I knew she wouldn’t get the same results

[@Keijiloveskarma]

If anything products take LONGER to dry. This technique just isn’t curly friendly unless you got some loooose ass curls

[@Keijiloveskarma]

@@Naninanimousher hair is definitely not curlier than the lady recreating, hers are just more hand coiled or separated as the recreator probably didn’t do the same since it wasnt mentioned.

[@idkman6496]

@@KeijiloveskarmaDude, her curls are absolutely a bit tighter and even if they werent they were still curls which she did this method with success, it is curl friendly considering you just seen curly hair do it 💀

[@lovergirl5013]

yeah i had to rewatch but definitely looks like gel

[@marymaranan3641]

I think the original poster’s hair was either thinner or she did less sections, and her clip was a lot bigger and taller to allow the roots to dry

That seems to make the most sense 😅

[@politereminder6284]

she has high porosity hair that dries easily. my High porosity dries in minutes. 🤷‍♀️

No I think someone said it was gel making it damp not water

[@rochellec2882]

@@politereminder6284 Well then my hair must be either low porosity or decides what it wants to be on the day. Sometimes it takes a day to dry, other times it's dry within less than an hour without assistance.

[@kynaleemom]

My curly stylist just showed me this last week! She diffused until all my hair was dry and she took thinner strips than you did. My hair normally takes about 5 hrs to fully air dry. It worked better than a clip alone or criss crossing alone!

[@unluckyokinawan]

im sorry if this is stupid but can you go to a curl stylist if your hair is 2b-2c with minimal 3a? idk I damaged my hair lately so any curls and waves I had are gone lmao

In the original tiktok, they actually diffused the hair..!

[@rosemadder5547]

Sh3 didn't do it right... it's works good if you do it with a clip or two that are huge an hav like 4 teeth a piece. I've done this since the 90s. Someone just copied this from their 80s moms 😂

[@maddivance244]

Definitely not the best review, she did it wrong💀

[@srirachastain3330]

I lift the claw clip a bit and dry the hair underneath with a diffuser. Helps to dry it, and if you let it cool it will set your roots too so you'll get lift for longer when you take it out

[@AlexisDimes]

I’m surprised she didn’t do it that way

[@red-inmy-50s-temper-dont-match]

We used to use the cool button on low/medium, to set at the end. We would spray a little (suffocate yourself) in Insette hairspray!! haha I can smell it now.. it was fab!

[@srirachastain3330]

@@AlexisDimes yeah me too, obviously if you bunched your hair together in a clip it's not going to dry

[@There348]

It’s the type of clip you’re using. I do this all the time with my curly hair. Use the claw like she’s using. It has less teeth, they’re fatter and it leaves more room for the air to get in. I even use the diffuser while the clip is in & I LOVE the results!

[@drac464]

If big hair is making a come back .. I’m here for it ❤

[@deannad9105]

Along with the other comments about her hair not being fully wet, I think she also pulled the clip farther back, into the middle of her head. That left the roots, nearest her forehaed, exposed and easier to dry

[@SparklesNJazz]

i have thin curly hair and i said immediately to myself that this would definitely work! good hack for thin haired curlies i think

[@dragonflyrivera4308]

You flattened the hair on the top with the blow dryer in the end… lol…. See if you can do it again… you have lovely hair

And split it back down the middle part. Seemed like it was working fine but w.e

I’ve been doing this for at least 14 years, I’ve always air dried my curly wavy hair and I clip up my hair the middle right after I apply product. If I have to take it out while it’s still very wet, I’ll usually flip it to one side & then when it dries, flip it to the opposite side or down the middle & it’ll have more volume

I have curly hair, too, and if I put my hair up with anything while it's still wet, it can stay that way for days. My mom's straight thin hair will be dry by the time she puts it in a ponytail.

[@amyjohoppins1087]

I wash my hair in the early evening to go to bed early with damp hair in a thick towel. Having it all scrunched up in there helps with volume - and you can bet I'm going to try that clip trick to see if I can tolerate anything in my head 😂 I might be back in a few hours saying I couldn't sleep but here goes nothing. 😅

[@jenniferford2067]

Seriously. My hair wants all the water. It will not let go. So frustrating.

[@jenhaze]

I’d say try it with the concentrator just for the portion under the clip. Also blot your hair a bit more and amp up the mouse or gel!

[@user-sw5rg7nq6s]

You have a natural charisma that draws people in.

[@monalisapecina8822]

Try it again using smaller sections and one of the octopus claw clips.

[@jmduckee]

There's way more spacing in her clip. Yours had a lot more claws so air couldn't get through! Try again with a giant claw clip

[@willromaine2252]

Made sense to me and looked like it was heading in the right direction. Why not go with it damp?

[@ebrennie]

Tip: my curly hair never touches a dryer. I always let it air dry. This used to take forever, hours, until I started using a LOT of mousse and gel. Now my hair is dry in an hour. And I do clip.

[@shamirambarkho]

Your hair is so pretty

[@lotusfae]

This got recommended to me by my hairstylist in the 2000s! It's a little finicky with the big clip when you have thick hair, but it works if you find a method that suits you. Try it again with individual small clips or butterfly clips! That's what I always used.

[@msbee4786]

Back in the 80's I would flip my hair upside down and dry it with a diffuser for volume.

[@erehyaeger6546]

Can you drop your hair routine? 😍😍

[@CapnMarcoPolo]

Idk why I started it, but I used to sort of clamp up my roots like this without the criss crossing beforehand. It does absolutely give a lot of volume (although sometimes it stands in a weird shape after you let it out, maybe the criss crossing helps with that) and for some reason makes my hair curl waaaayyyyy nicer, even without any product. Tbh half the time I didn't even worry if my roots were completely and totally dry when I let them out and the results were still typically pretty good. So yeah I could definitely see this working for me as just an extra step to something I used to do lol

[@shinobipanda2331]

Different curl textures dry differently too, i need to try this because mine seems to dry pretty quickly!

[@sarochiel]

Looks like she took smaller sections, used a bigger claw-clip, and only clipped the crown, where you'd want the most volume, not the entire criss-crossed section. ☺️

[@jc7blessed]

" Its looks way too good to be true, so that means we have to try it"... wait, what 😂. Amanda 😅 💕💕💕💕💕

[@itsamandaguido]

LMAO why am i like this

[@Masshole4life]

You’re hair is gorgeous

[@Jill.A_]

Hair stylist here. Hit your hair with the clip in using the concentrator on the dryer not the diffuser. The clip is already acting as a diffuser so you don’t need to take it out you can just use the concentrator you’re hair will dry faster also some air dry cream may help speed up the process.

[@Tartarsauce2001]

Girl, you have bouncy curls 😂 us straight hair girls STRUGGLE and BEG for just a lil volume 😭

[@pugsabi]

And us curly girlies would love to have straight hair that you could just run a brush through when it gets unruly instead of a whole rigamarole. Green grass etc

[@nancyrhm2094]

Bouncy curls doesn't mean volume on top.

[@KAYTEEZIE]

Your hair is more dense than hers.

[@galacticprincess11111]

It's new to you been doing this styling hair since 80's 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stormfischerr]

I’ve been doing this for a month or two since I saw the bud and this is my routine (I have 3a hair that’s damaged so it’s 2c/2b in most spots) I apply all my products and scrunch excess water out with a microfiber towel. then I layer the pieces like in the video and add a piece from the back of my head lying forward towards my face. I clip it with the long part going towards the back to make sure I grab each section. I hover diffuse until my hair is about 50 ish percent dry making sure to get super close to the clipped roots at all angles. then I unclip the roots, gently rearrange them to their sides, and either air dry or pixie diffuse the rest of the way. there might be a little volume sacrificed by manipulating them but it usually turns out pretty cute.

[@LuvvvLaylaa12]

Back in my day, they put part 2 😢 Thank you 😅

[@nancyrhm2094]

I shower before bed and my hairdressers always told me with curly hair that is less voluminous at the top that you should take some little clips and pin the roots up so it dries with volume. :) this is actually a good tip but you can do it in any way.

[@nooa69]

Try using a comb attachment just for the top. You can slide it under the clip and get the roots dry.
