Easiest Ways To Adjust Your Wavy Hair Routine

Why can't i have both? I want both hey everyone. It'S jordan faith here on my channel. I focus on wavy hair content, those of us with fine, lower density, wavy hair, like mine kind of have to choose between volume and definition today i'll be showing you how to use these same exact products in two different ways. One focused on volume and the other focused on definition, i'm going to show you how i adjust a routine depending on the outcome that i want. Let'S go ahead and get started. My hair is clean and wet and product free and i'm just parting it down the middle before getting started. First, i'm using the keratin curly leave-in conditioner and i'm only using a very tiny amount on the volume side, i would typically skip leave-in conditioner altogether. If i was aiming for max volume for me, but for the sake of this video showing how to adjust your routine and product amounts with the same exact product lineup, i wanted to keep it consistent and show the small amount i'd use. If i were using leave-in. I'M raking and brushing it through making sure to lift out and away from my scalp, so my roots won't lay as flat, you might have seen me, or maybe mains by mel use, a wide tooth comb to separate clumps for more volume. But today i wanted to show you that you can do the same thing with a large claw clip for the definition side, i'm taking quite a bit more leave-in, but still a small amount, because i don't want to weigh down my loose waves, i'm raking and brushing It through, then, i'm just going to quickly go through and brush again in small sections to encourage more definition, so i'm using that clip to get the top section up and out of the way. So i can do the bottom first, then i'll do the top. This isn't precise at all, and i'm just doing it really really fast to add that little bit of extra definition, i also have my spray bottle handy to add more water to the definition side as needed to keep the clumps a little larger and help reduce frizz. Now i'm using the verb, curl foaming gel i'm starting with four pumps on the volume side, just padded and smoothed onto my hair, then scrunched in i'm also going to judge my roots a bit as i apply this to make sure they have some movement and aren't Sticking down to my head, i'm not worried about breaking up my clumps or causing too much frizz, because i want lots of separation so that my hair looks more voluminous. In the end, i'm adding three more pumps of the foaming gel applied the same way. This product is super light, so it doesn't stretch out my waves, but it gives me a nice soft to medium hold. Next, i'm using three pumps on the definition side applied with praying hands and scrunching. My hair is more wet on this side and i'm scrunching and pulsing a little more delicately so that my clumps remain more intact and again i'll be adding more water as needed. This really helps the hair stick together in those defined clumps. Now i'm using the giovanni la hold gel about a dime sized amount for the volume side, gently smoothed on and scrunched in. This is going to provide a little more hold without adding too much weight to my hair so that it'll stay bouncy and light. I'M using a lot more gel on the definition side to hold everything together and to aim for a little bit of a cast so that i can keep as much definition as possible through the drying process. I'M going to micro plop as normal with my hair towel. Draped over my hand, so i can squeeze out extra water before diffusing. My volume side isn't as wet, so i'm just quickly scrunching to get out that little bit of extra water, then i'm micro plopping on my definition side a lot more precisely and making sure to squeeze really firmly to remove lots of extra water without disturbing the hair And breaking up the definition, i won't be touching this side again for a little while i'm adding three last little pumps to the volume side to boost it up. Then i'm going to start the diffusing process. I'M sticking the diffuser right into my roots as a start and pressing upwards to encourage that root, lift that i'm aiming for with this whole volume, routine, i'm using high speed and medium to low heat on this side. My roots are very smooth and straight because i have a super loose wave pattern, so it's really difficult to get them to have any noticeable volume focusing on them at the start of the drying process like this does help a bit, though i'll also be pixie diffusing To get my waves to spring up because the less elongated they are, the bigger my hair is able to look for the definition side. I don't want to touch it until it starts to form a bit of a cast, because i don't want to cause any extra frizz or cause the clumps to separate too much i'll, be mostly hover, diffusing on high speed and high heat until a cast forms. I finished the drying process off camera and i did do a little bit of pixie diffusing for the definition side near the end, after a light cast had formed, of course, making sure to turn the dryer off before moving between sections the whole time. I was alternating sides every couple minutes during the 20 minutes i spent diffusing, so each side was diffused for about 10 minutes in total and i ended up air drying the rest of the way like i normally do, but you can see the difference between the two Sides in my styled and still damp hair here - and this is how different the sides look now that they are fully dry but before being fluffed. To finish, the looks, i'm going to fluff a little more gently on my definition side, so i don't cause too much. Frizz or break up any definition that i've created and i'm going to fluff a little more aggressively on my volume side to really try to give it some oomph. And these are the results. It may not be the most drastic side by side because i just don't have a whole lot of hair, but you can definitely tell a difference. You can see that the volume side is bigger, a little bit higher, not too high at the roots, because i am very volume challenged, especially at the top of my head, but it's not super clumped together, so it looks bigger all around. It looks a little bit more dense, it does have some more frizz, but that adds to the volume and it's not excessive. It doesn't look messy and of course it feels very nice and light. My definition side is very defined. It'S a lot shinier, because that hair is really clumped together, so it can reflect the light really well and it has less frizz it's a little bit more elongated and although it looks completely different, it also feels very nice and light because these products are the right Sort of products for my hair, of course you can cater and choose the specific products based on the results that you want. But not everyone wants a multitude of products and not everyone can afford to have multiple options of different stylers and you can absolutely get very different results based on what you want with just a single lineup of products. Both of these routines, the volume and the definition were super quick and simple, and i think they both turned out beautifully. You could even separate the definition side out, just a little bit more if you wanted to which might give me a touch more volume, but it absolutely depends on what you, like. Everyone has a different preference for how their hair looks. As always. The products that i used are linked in the description below make sure to tell me in the comments what you usually aim for volume or definition. Or are you lucky enough to be able to achieve both?
