How can i get volume in my hair after i straighten it?

Question

i dnt like it all stiff though, so hairspraying it upside down is a last resort! any ideas?

Answer 1

Aveda Hair Potion!  It is expensive - about $30 per bottle but it lasts you forever!  All you have to do is sprinkle a bit of the powder on the crown of your head at the roots and then either push up just under the root with your fingers, or pull it up with the end of a comb and your hair will have HUGE volume!!

PS- You can buy it on eBay a little bit cheaper!

Answer 2

You can have it layered or buy the larges curling iron which you will use close to the scalp. I have the same problem, but after the first wash when I get my hair straightened, I use a setting lotion and medium hair curlers (rollers), dry under a "helmet hairdryer", then take of the curlers and use a blower from the middle of my hair to the end. Don't blow out the hair near the scalp. Trust, me it works!

Answer 3

The best tip I could give is to tease the hair at the root to add a little volume, but if your hair is like mine, you will need to smooth top hair over the teased area and do a light spray with an aerosol hairspray. Doing this prevents the teased hair to stick out and look...well tacky. If you do it right, you can barely feel or see the hairspray on your hair.

Answer 4

Spray some root lifter on your roots. Use Pantene!

My hair is really puff and dry if i dont do anything to it and this works wonders for me. Get you self some hard plastic hair rollers and metal prong clips. Roll your hair up and blow dry it if you dont have to go anywhere you can even sleep with the rollers in (the first time i did this it took for ever but by the thrid time i got all the rollers in in like 20 min and that was doing it myself dont give up). Floding a pillow in half and putting it right under your neck above your shoulder with help you sleep with these things on your head. Also, keep in mind the curls are going to be a lil bigger than the size of the roller you choose so choose a size thats a lil smaller than than what you want if you just want the ends flipped use the bigger rollers. You'll need to part your hair one roller at a time start by makeing a part about where your bang would be about the width of the roller and not to wide (so the hair will dry) from the front of your head (bang) to the back Back of neck) depending on the size of the rollers you shoud have six to eight rollers. now for the side you want to start from the bottom up tucking your finger behind your ear and pushing the part straight back to meet the roller in the mid sectionthen part whats left in half and two or three rollers should be able to hold each half total you'll need about 16-17 rollers. Depending on how dry or oily your hair is is apply a small amount or your moisturizer to your wet hair and comb it through before rolling. If your dont have a sit down hair dryer a blowdryer is ok. The longer you hold the blow dryer on the curls the better. Your hair must be COMPLETELY dry before you remove the rollers in order for this to work properly. You will also need a flat iron for after you take the rollers out to touch up your roots. You can get rollers and clips pretty cheap at any beauty supply store. Oh and dont forget you'll need a nice scarf to wrap your hair in one you have the rollers i usually use one that kind of looks like a net. Good luck dear.
