Yes, it might be true that these glam gals have a hairstylist at hand more often than us regular folk do, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t achieve their cool-girl look in the comfort of your own home\u2014below, we\u2019ve rounded up 6 ways to add texture to your hair.<\/p>\n<h2>Find the best option for your hair type<\/h2>\n<p>The type of texture you add to your hair really depends on the type of hair you have\u2014texture can mean different things. \u201cFor example, straight hair can use sea salt sprays or powder dry shampoo to create a layered, piecey look within their hair cut,\u201d says Faith Huffnagle, Director of Education at Prose. \u201cCurly and coily hair already has a natural texture, so adding color or highlights can really create dimension between various pieces of hair, making hair appear fuller or thicker.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A haircut can make all the difference<\/h2>\n<p>A solid foundation is key to making it that much easier for you to achieve the textured hair of your dreams. \u201cHaving a great haircut can really add the perfect texture to all hair types and can even reduce the amount of styling products needed to style your hair on a daily basis,\u201d explains Huffnagle.<\/p>\n<h2>Pick the right product<\/h2>\n<p>The appropriate texturizing product for your tresses really, again, depends on your hair type. For hair that is naturally textured, Huffnagle suggests looking for products like <span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-hair-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hair oil<\/a><\/span> to add nourishment to strands while reflecting light and shine. \u201c<span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-curl-cream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Curl cream<\/a><\/span> or wave sprays help support definition and encourage \u2018spring\u2019 to wavy and curly textures, while light-weight <span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-leave-in-conditioner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">leave-in conditioners<\/a><\/span> help reduce frizz and moisturize hair,\u201d says Huffnagle.<\/p>\n<h2>Invest in great tools<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to invest a little more time and money for perfectly textured hair, look no further than a trusty hair tool. \u201cFor those looking to add texture regularly, tools like a flat iron, curling iron, or curling wand can help create texture in various ways, depending on the size and position of the hot tools,\u201d says Huffnagle. Adding heat to your hair might even help the look last longer, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Try dry shampoo<\/h2>\n<p>Not only does <span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-dry-shampoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">powder dry shampoo<\/a><\/span> help reduce oiliness on the scalp, but it can also help add texture back into the hair while also helping to salvage a previous heat-styling session from the day before. \u201cThe best way to revive flat hair without washing is to use a powder dry shampoo to absorb excess oils and product build-up,\u201d explains Huffnagle. \u201cSince a powder is very versatile, adding it to your <span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/pages\/brushes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hairbrush<\/a><\/span> before brushing your hair or applying it to your scalp before bed can offer an easier morning of hairstyling (with volume) for the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Go heatless<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s always the option of going heat-free if you\u2019re worried about damaging your hair with hot tools. \u201cIf you prefer to go heatless, setting hair in rollers, braids or twists overnight can add texture to your hair once you remove them in the morning,\u201d says Huffnagle.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Shop this article<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"dh_chrome_badge_container\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9388 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.prose.com\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Membership-Email-5-Subs-02.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"293\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"DH_CHROME_badges\" style=\"z-index: 99;\" data-v-49e29dd1=\"\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.prose.com\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Membership-Email-5-Subs-02.gif\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"DH_CHROME_badges\" style=\"z-index: 99;\" data-v-49e29dd1=\"\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.prose.com\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Membership-Email-5-Subs-02.gif\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pump some air in that hair. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":10676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,4,403],"tags":[281,278,270,279,277],"class_list":["post-10650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cut-style","category-hair-tips","category-styling","tag-goal-volume","tag-styling-curling-iron","tag-styling-dry-shampoo","tag-styling-oil","tag-styling-straightener"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>6 Ways to Add Texture to Flat Hair |<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Who doesn\u2019t want to turn up the volume on flat hair?
