You’re using way too much moisturizing cream, which can weigh your hair down. “Instead, squeeze a pea- to quarter-size amount of the hydrating leave-in formula, like TRESemmé Max the Volume Lightweight Moisturizing Lotion, onto one of your palms, and then rub your two hands together like you would hand cream,” TRESemmé celebrity stylist Jeanie Syfu says. “That way when you apply it, the product goes through evenly and actually coats more strands.”

You only spritz your hair a few times with heat protector after you towel dry.“It’s important to spray everysection thoroughly that you plan to blow-dry, curl, or flat iron,” Syfu says. She suggests using TRESemmé Get Sleek Heat Protect Spray first, and then brushing it through once to rake it through for an even application. Also, make sure to concentrate on the face-framing pieces that get the most heat styling, so your hair doesn’t become dry and brittle from the heat.

You’re trying to smooth frizz by patting curl cream onto the top layer of your hair only. But what you should really be doing to battle frizz is rubbing a quarter-size amount of curl cream, like TRESemmé Make Waves Shine Enhancing Cream, in your palm, taking random-size sections, and twisting your curls around and around your finger, so each curl gets wave-defining attention.

You hold the nozzle of your hairspray too close to your hair.Spraying hairspray too close to your hair will concentrate the formula in one spot, leaving it crunchy and not touchable. Instead, Syfu suggests holding a hairspray, like TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Frizz-Free Hold Hairspray, about 12 inches away from your hair, aiming it at an angle so that you get a light mist all over.
5. You only spray the ends of your hair with a lightweight conditioning spray, since you think that’s the driest part of your strands. “Actually, lightweight conditioners keep frizz down and promotes healthy, hydrated hair, so it’s smart to apply them on damp hair from roots to tips or, if you have fine hair, spray your hair from mid-length down to keep your volume in tact,” Syfu says. She recommends TRESemmé Renewal Hair & Scalp Conditioning Spray, which you can layer with any styling product after.

You spritz salt spray on the top layer of your hair only. “To get the full effect of a salt spray, like TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Sea Salt Spray, you’ll need to work it into sections,” Syfu says. “Create a middle part and then lift sections of your hair, spritzing the spray simultaneously throughout it as the hair falls, so that you reach the strands underneath, along with the surface layer of your hair.”
You only apply mousse-like formulas to your roots. “Aiming it just at the roots can weigh hair down,” Syfu says, which is why she suggests building volume all over by parting your hair into two to three sections and combing a foam formula, like TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Wave Creating Sea Foam, from roots to tips.

You apply your root-lifting formula quickly at your roots and that’s it. “To get major volume, you need to not only apply a root lifter, like TRESemmé Max the Volume Root Lifting Cream, to damp hair at your roots, but also throughout your hair to build body and give it structure,” Syfu says. “Then, blow-dry your hair after to let the heat lock in the lift.”

You glob a styling cream onto your roots and work it down the hair shaft. Styling cream is typically thicker than most hair products, so you first want to be conservative with the amount that you’re using, so you don’t make your hair greasy. Syfu recommends parting your hair down the middle and pulling the two sections over each shoulder. “Then, apply a quarter-size amount (a little more if your hair is long or super thick or curly) of styling cream, like TRESemmé Make Waves Defining Cream, onto your palms, rub them together, and use your fingers as a comb to rake the product through from the ends upward,” she says. “That way you don’t get too much product at your roots, which can weigh your hair down.”
You usually wait to apply a wave/curl definer until after you’ve diffused or air-dried your hair. “Applying the product before your waves/curls are formed is key for frizz-free defined hair,” Syfu says, who suggests combing TRESemmé Make Waves Shaping Gel Cream through freshly washed wet — not damp — hair, then drying it with a diffuser or letting it air-dry.

After you blow-dry your hair, you always apply a shine enhancer all over your strands. “Shiny hair is gorgeous, but you want to keep the volume you just created,” Syfu says, which is she recommends using a shine-boosting formula, like TRESemmé YouthBoost Youthful Fullness Shine Lotion, as a finishing product on the ends of your hair only (since your roots are the healthiest and shiniest part of your hair anyway, so they don’t need added shine) and to tame unruly flyaways.

Your were born with amazing texture but you apply a ton of blow-dry cream to make your style hold that much longer. If you have great texture, chances are your style will stay put, but if you feel the need to apply hair product, Syfu suggests adding just a few small pumps of a blow-dry balm, like TRESemmé Get Sleek Blow Dry Balm, in the palm of your hands, rubbing them together to warm the formula, flipping your hair over, and working a light coating of the product over small sections from underneath. “Then, flip your head back over and do the same, staying away from your roots unless you need to tame flyaways.”
