Matrix StyleLink Height Riser Hair Volumizing Powder
When you have fine hair, lightweight volumizing products are the name of the game. For fine-haired girls looking to add volume, Onur-Taylor recommends Matrix StyleLink Height Riser Hair Volumizing Powder. This formula adds instant volume and separation to hair, creates shine and grip, and targets roots without dulling hair.
“I use it for volume, for braiding, or any time someone wants to add a little bit of grit to their hair—especially fine hair that by the time a client is walking out of the salon, the hair is falling flat,” Onur-Taylor says. “This product kind of keeps it intact.”

Matrix StyleLink Texture Builder Messy Finishing Spray
If there’s one styling product you need on hand, it’s texturizing spray. Searching for one to add to your routine? Onur-Taylor swears by Matrix StyleLink Texture Builder Messy Finishing Spray. This aerosol spray provides medium hold and airy texture to hold volume and create windswept looks.
“It’s almost like a dry shampoo, a texturizer, and hairspray and it doesn’t leave residue on the hair,” Onur-Taylor says. “I call it the product that makes your hair look like it’s moving even when it’s not.”

Matrix StyleLink Volume Fixer Volume Hairspray
If you’re tired of strong-hold hairspray formulas that make your strands feel crunchy and weighed-down, swap it out for a formula like Matrix StyleLink Volume Fixer Volume Hairspray. This product gives support to voluminous hairstyles with a moveable texture and hold.
“This product adds just enough shine and hold but it’s not overpowering...A lot of times when I am working on texture, I comb it out. It doesn’t compromise the shape of the hair or lock it down to where you can’t restyle it,” Onur-Taylor says.

This treatment is targeted to care for over-processed, weak, or fragile hair to restore its shine and manageability.
“If you are a color-treated blonde, this product a must-have,” Onur-Taylor says. “Once you start styling and coloring your hair all the time, a lot of damage happens...The Keratindose Pre-Keratin Renewal Spray really gives your hair a breath of fresh air and protection.”
