Living Proof amp2 Texture Volumizer can help you achieve luscious locks.

This flexible-hold styling cream creates texture with a natural finish.

Just take a dime-sized amount and work it through your hair as you style.

For a sleek, smooth finish, apply this serum to each section of hair before flat ironing.

Thats because they can add a lot of lift and texture to hair that tends to go flat.

The cut itself can create the look of added volume.

A layered pixie cut includes both longer and shorter layers.

These are cut into your hair in a way where it isnt obvious that your hair is different lengths.

Rather, the layered pixie cut gives the illusion of volume and texture throughout your hair.

Its a great cut for anyone looking to add volume to their short hair.

What exactly a classic pixie cut is has changed over the years, according to Arizona hair stylistErin Powers.

She tells Byrdie that pixie cuts have especially evolved in recent times.

There are now more variations of the pixie than ever before.

Its a youthful style overall.

This is particularly true if its cut too short or without any interesting layers.
