Redheads have a variety of hair types. Red hair is not necessarily thicker than other hair colors by default. Hair thickness is primarily determined by genetics, and it can vary widely among individuals regardless of hair color. However, there is a common misconception that red hair is thicker because of the way it appears and interacts with light. Additionally, red hair tends to have a coarser texture and can be more resistant to graying and thinning with age, which might contribute to the perception of thickness.
Regardless, we usually all suffer from flat hair.
There are a lot of products that will boast volume, but sometimes we need a few hacks to get that plumped-up red hair quickly.

Looking for more tips and tricks?
To give flat red hair more volume, you can try the following tips:
1. Use Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner: Opt for hair products specifically designed to add volume. These can help create lift and fullness at the roots.
2. Blow-Dry Upside Down: Flip your hair upside down while blow-drying. This technique can create natural lift and volume at the roots.
3. Use a Root Lifting Spray or Mousse: Apply a root lifting spray or mousse to damp hair before blow-drying. Focus on the roots to add extra lift.
4. Teasing or Backcombing: Gently tease or backcomb the hair at the crown area to create volume. Be careful not to damage the hair.
5. Velcro Rollers or Hot Rollers: Use velcro rollers or hot rollers to add volume and body to your hair. Roll them in at the roots while your hair is still warm, and let them cool before removing.
6. Avoid Overusing Heavy Products: Avoid using too much heavy styling products that can weigh down your hair. Opt for lightweight products that provide hold without sacrificing volume.
8. Regular Haircuts: Regular trims can help maintain the health and shape of your hair, preventing it from becoming too heavy and flat.
Remember, it might take some experimentation to find the combination of techniques and products that work best for your hair type and texture.
