Sure, a little bit of volume can be helpful in real life, but using these products won’t actually help for pictures. International fashion photographer Babak told Daily Makeover that light shines through the spaces produced by the teasing and actually makes the hair look thinner. In order to fight this problem, use volumizing shampoo. Doing so will help the overall body of the hair, which sprays will not do.

Let It Be

Let that hair loose! “A style that’s too done will look severe on camera,” Babak said. The natural look is always more flattering on camera, as perceived movement is seen as attractive. Hairspray and other likewise products can unfortunately restrain the hair in an unfavorable manner and create helmet head.

Find The Right Lighting

The lighting can make or break a picture. “Avoid overhead light; it will dull your hair, give you dark under-eye circles and your nose will look like a light bulb,” author Shelley GoodStein told You Beauty. The most desirable light will brighten the face in a subtle yet embracing way, such as natural light. Also, looking into the light instead of away from it will enhance the hair’s highlights and produce a colorful shine.
