2. Customizing Undertones, Shades & Proportions
Welcome to Part 2 of my breakdown on Reach New Heights of Confidence with 10 Styling Tips for Voluminous Hair.
Before you lock in your final formula or outfit pairing, here is how I adapt the tones and textures for each client.
Pin Look
Finding Your Most Flattering Version
For warm undertones (golden, peachy skin), lean into honey-toned highlights and a soft, caramel root shadow.
This adds dimension that makes volume look even more dramatic.
If you have cool undertones (pink, rosy), ask for ash or pearl balayage to keep the hair looking bright and airy.
Which visually boosts the volume.
Texture matters too: fine hair needs a mousse at the roots and a crimped section underneath for grip.
While thick hair can handle a heavier pomade for shine without weighing it down.
Adjust your part—a deep side part instantly adds 20% more height on one side, which is my go-to for rounder face shapes.
✦ Which Finish Fits Your Vibe?
- Velvet Rose-Gold Glow: Effortless, soft-focus dimension that flatters every skin tone in daytime or candlelight.
- High-Impact Statement Finish: Crisp lines, rich pigment payoff, and bold contrast for evening events or street-style photos.
- Balanced Proportions: Keep one feature bold while letting the surrounding textures stay airy and breathable.
