Recently, on the Instagram of many hair stylists, we have noticed an easy trick that the hair professionals repeatedly make use of it to achieve the perfect, airy and tousled hair texture that they are famous for. Even though we’re not claiming anything related to their hairdressing skills but this hair trick is one that we’re confident most of us will be able to learn or master.

This is an effective approach to boost the volume of hair without saturating the hair with excessive texturizing sprays and dry shampoo. Do you over prep hair? or Do you use excessive amounts of product can be just more damaging than not making use of any product at all? Hair will be weighing down, limping and over-processed.

What is the other alternative? The most effective way to add texture and dimension without the need for product is to create various types of hair shapes. This prevents the hair from barrelling to itself as well as adds more depth and dimension.

One method to do this is obviously to use styling tools. The technique of styling your waves in alternate directions can help to create the appearance of a mushy texture. However when it comes down frame your facial features, and providing extra lift, shape and movement near the face, this is where this “the hair pinching” technique comes into the action.

The act of pinching the two sections of hair on the front of the parting together makes the top part nearer together while the remaining part can be further swoop apart, giving an cool and chic girl curtain fringe. This action will also result in a little extra hair lift at the root when you “pinch” and when coupled with some tactical waves that curve towards your cheekbones which gives your facial features some extra definition. The most appealing aspect? You don’t have to stand looking at a mirror with all of your hair-styling tools at your disposal. This is a technique you can apply anywhere anytime to freshen up your hairstyle and give it some beautiful dimension.
