Afternoon beauty fix: Less is more when it comes to getting Oscar-worthy voluminous hair

What’s the best way to breathe new life into my hair without having to invest more time in my routine?
If you tuned into last night’s Oscars red carpet, you likely noted a number of celebs chose amplified root volume instead of the elaborate updos we’ve seen at award seasons past. At the Grammys, Adele’s honey-blonde highlights looked lovely with her skin tone but it was her hair’s immense height that successfully stole my heart. Perhaps it’s my lingering love affair with iconic ‘90s hairstyles like Linda Evangelista’s bouncy crop, but I think the beauty of a volume-infused blowout is still hard to beat. Mousse, hairspray, and styling cream add volume en masse but using a silicon-free shampoo in the shower, like Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light shampoo ($5, at drugstores), will prevent product residue from weighing down your roots on everyday occasions. It sounds too simple to say “less is more” but, in this instance, it is!
