Got a case of deflated locks? Hair can become limp from many different factors – the weather, too much styling product, sleeping on it, or skipping the shower. Lucky for us, there's a simple way to add back volume – and it only involves three tools. Hair expert Danielle Caputo leads us through the steps to go from flat to full, in minutes.
Dispense a dollop of mousse into your palms, and work your hands together to evenly distribute the hair product.
TIP: If you don't have mouse in the house, try dry shampoo or even a tiny bit of hair spray.

Evenly apply the mousse to your hair, concentrating it at the roots.

"For the most height, use a round, metal barreled brush," says Caputo. The metal will get hot from the heat from your blow dryer, and act as a weak curling iron to give lasting lift to the hair.

Roll the hair on top of the brush, and blast the hair with heat. Use the highest heat setting on your blow dryer, and make sure you keep the nozzle on the blow dryer to focus and concentrate the heat.

When you're done blow-drying, you hair will have a lot of lift from the roots. If it's too big, use your fingers or a brush to work the hair down. "It's always better to start fuller than flatter, says Caputo."
Whether you're pumping up your look for a big night out or extending that blowout another day, with just five simple steps and five minutes of styling time, you hair will be returned to it's voluminous state of glory.
