Luke Hersheson, known for his namesake central London salons and working with Victoria Beckham, believes everyone can have great hair.
He revealed exactly how to create more volume with minimal effort in an interview with British Vogue.
And it turns out, your middle parting might be the reason your tresses look so flat.
“Think Kim Basinger with her big flick-over,” Luke said.

“A middle parting will always make hair look flatter.
“Flipping it over is an easy way to add more body.”
What’s more, if you suffer from thin and flat hair, it might be worth ditching your beloved hair mask.
According to Luke, trying to boost volume is more about what you don’t do, rather than what you do.

“Using the wrong conditioner, or too much of it, can weigh hair down and make it feel flatter, which in turn will make it appear thinner,” he said.
“I’d advise against using hair masks and heavy conditioners to help maintain volume and body.”
The expert added that “it’s the little things that make a real difference” to adding volume.
He recommended blow drying upwards to direct airflow underneath the roots of your strands, creating volume in your hair at the scalp.
Luke’s father, Daniel, is widely regarded as a pioneer in the British beauty industry and holds a royal warrant for services to the Royal Family.

Daniel established his first salon in London in 1992 and the pair have since built an empire.
“Growing up with Daniel as his father, Luke’s lifelong love of all things hair began at the age of four,” a blurb on the Hershesons website reads.
“A full-time stylist by the time he was 19, he went on to make a name for himself as a leading session stylist.
“Working for the biggest fashion designers in the game, as well as the likes of American, British, French and Italian Vogue.
“Widely regarded as one of the most influential names in hair, the vision, ingenuity and passion he shares with his father, means that Hershesons is now the go-to, aspirational brand for women from all four corners of the globe.

“To this day, he believes that seen through the right eyes, so-called limits are merely limitless possibilities.
“So, everyone can have great hair.”
