Voluminous curls that look lively and full of bounce – who doesn’t dream of that? But achieving it is often easier said than done. We’ve got the right tips and tricks to make your curls shine! Get inspired and learn how to add more volume to your curls!
1. The right haircut
The foundation for more volume starts with the right haircut and is key to showing off your curls. But what does the ideal cut look like? That depends on your hair’s texture, length, and curl type. The right cutting technique removes excess weight and naturally adds volume to your curls. A professional assessment and skilled technique are essential.

2. Use the right hair-care products
The next step toward impressive volume lies in using the right products. To keep your curls voluminous and lively, you should avoid harmful ingredients. Suitable care products contain perfectly balanced ingredients and are free from sulfates, silicones, and parabens – preventing dryness and heaviness.
Our specially developed Curls Control product line for curly hair is designed to give you more volume. With the right application, you’ll achieve defined, elastic curls:
- Clarifying Shampoo: Use every 4–5 weeks to remove buildup and heavy residues.
- Cleanser: Gently cleanses and maintains the balance of moisture and oils. After rinsing, squeeze excess water from your curls to retain hydration.
- Conditioner: Provides moisture after cleansing – for defined, well-hydrated curls.
- Curl Crème: Defines and strengthens curl structure, reduces frizz, and leaves hair smooth.
- Curl Definer: Adds extra volume and provides hold, hydration, and bounce.
3. Drying and styling with a diffuser
After caring for your curls with the right products, it’s time to dry them. Instead of rubbing with a regular towel, use a hydrophilic towel. It removes excess water without stripping away the products you applied. For extra volume, use a diffuser!
The secret of a good diffuser lies in its deep shape and the nine “fingers” that evenly distribute warm air, nourishing your hair from roots to ends. Hold the diffuser still for 10–20 seconds to gently dry your hair without flattening it. The result? Elastic curls, defined shapes, and breathtaking volume.
Important: Always set your blow-dryer to the lowest setting to avoid frizz and damage.
4. Night routine preparation
Wouldn’t it be great to wake up with voluminous curls? With a few simple steps, it’s possible. Adapt your nighttime routine to protect your curls from friction and breakage. A satin pillowcase helps reduce frizz and keeps curls smooth.
For even better curl retention, try loose braids or the “pineapple” method – a high, loose ponytail that preserves volume. In the morning, refresh your curls with a DIY spray made of water and moisturizer to reactivate moisture and volume. This way, you’ll wake up with perfectly shaped curls!
