'Locking In' Your Curls Is The Viral Hair Hack That Gives You Insane Volume With Just A Brush

Beauty influencer Ally Lindgren posted a viral video to her TikTok of her step-by-step process to lock in her curls. To achieve amazing volume in your hair by locking in your hair, you'll need to first curl your hair. For big waves, try a tool like the ghd Classic Wave Oval Curling Wand; its 1.5-inch oval barrel will give you loose, beachy waves. For tighter curls, try the ghd Curl Thin Wand which has a 0.5-inch barrel that will give you locked in, tight curls.

Once you're finished curling, look for the curl pattern in your hair. Then, take a brush and put it against the lump of each curl and slide it through your hair, up towards your scalp. You only need to move your brush slightly upwards and once to lock in the curl. After you've finished locking in each curl, use hairspray to set the look and keep the curls in place. This is also referred to as teasing the hair, a method where you comb your hair toward your scalp, creating a voluminous look that's held in place.
