Too Much Volume
Bouncy, voluminous hair is beautiful, but beware of having too much of a good thing. Massive, bubble-like hair is a trademark "Karen" look.
Since hair gets thinner as we age, many women believe they need lots of volume to combat that look.

You don't want to look like you're wearing your hair like a hat — instead you want to look like your hair is full and healthy.
