The look: lift at the roots, without heat
A New Moon in your house of fun asks for a little lift, and planets in your house of what you value suggest spending effort on the thing you already like. Hair that lies flat at the crown reads tired in winter, under hats and scarves. Root rollers clipped in while you do something else add height that lasts, without the heat damage of daily tools.


An AI illustration of this month's look on a model created for this site. In Tressaly, every look is drawn on your own photo.
- Start with dry, clean rootsVolume holds best on hair that is fully dry. A little texturising powder at the roots helps fine hair.
- Take sections at the crownTwo or three sections about the width of the roller, along and behind the parting.
- Clip a roller at the rootLift the section straight up, place the roller at the scalp and clip it. Do not wind the lengths.
- Leave them while you get readyFifteen to twenty minutes. Some warmth from a hairdryer on low speeds it up if you want.
- Release and loosen with fingersUnclip, then rake fingers through from underneath. Brushing removes the lift.

Questions
What does the New Moon in Scorpio mean for Cancer?
It falls in your 5th house, which astrology connects with fun and enjoyment. In this column it sets an Everyday mood: something light that still makes you feel finished.
Will root rollers work on short hair, Cancer?
Yes, as long as the section at the crown is long enough to wrap once around the roller. On very short hair, root powder alone gives more lift.
