If you want luscious hair full of body, your haircut may need to be altered.

Working With Long Hair:
Long hair can get heavy (and is harder to keep big). If you have long hair and plan to go for big hair frequently, know that you will have to deal with some substantial breakage. Make sure to keep your haircut fresh; big hair does not look good with split ends.Products That Work:
Consider starting with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Make sure to use just a bit of conditioner -- as it weighs hair down -- or opt for a lightweight detangling mist.Once you're out of the shower, there are many great products that can help boost your locks.Big Sexy Hair, What A Tease ($19.75) Product adds massive lift.- Make sure hair is completely dry.

Tips For Creating Big Hair:
Ever wonder how big hair defies gravity? Check out these tips that can help pump up even fine hair.- Whether you use product or not, make sure your hair is completely dry and not warm (from blow dry). Wet or hot hair can be traumatized by the action of backcombing.
- Gather a small 1-inch section of hair at the crown (top of your head, near the back).
- Using a fine-tooth comb (a rattail comb from a beauty supply store works wonders), start at the middle of your hair and comb toward your scalp (reverse of how you'd normally comb). Once you get to the scalp, remove comb and start in the middle of hair again. Repeat. Spray section with hairspray.
- Gather other 1" sections of hair near crown and continue technique on those sections.
- Once you have the height you crave, make sure to use your comb to lightly pick through the top layer of your hair, to ensure it doesn't look like a tangled mess.
- Finish with more hairspray.
