How To…Add Volume to Your Hair

Lack of volume is the #5 global hair concern. Fortunately, with the right product and technique, you can add great volume to your hair.

Aveda Pure Abundance Style Prep is made of organic acacia gum and aloe, a naturally derived hair thickening agent that helps to volumize hair. It also includes palm, corn and coconut oil to weightlessly condition and detangle hair, and morikue and wheat protein to strengthen hair to prevent breakage. Wheat protein also provides thermal protection to prevent damage from heat styling.

With Aveda Pure Abundance Style Prep, your XEX stylist can amp up your style with three different volumizing looks that feature products and tools for extreme volume.
