When a star runs out of hydrogen to fuse into helium it begins to collapse again. As it collapses it gets hotter and eventually gets hot enough to take helium and fuse it it make carbon. Helium fusion rapidly heats the core of the star, pushing out the outer layers creating a red giant much much bigger than the original star.
