How to Add Volume to Fine, Straight Hair

June 21, 2013

If you’ve got fine, straight hair, a lot of people may be envious of your straight, frizz-free look. However, they don’t realize the downside to such hair is that it has about as much life in it as a limp mop. To add volume to your hair, follow these tips specially created for fine, straight hair.

Start in the shower by using a shampoo and conditioner specially formulated to pump up fine hair. Using a volumizing gel and blow drying your hair upside down once you get out will also help with added volume. Avoid oils, as these will just weigh your fine, straight hair down.

Finally, if you’re looking for a little extra body, hot rollers are going to be your best bet. They don’t take long, and they give your hair just enough body without curling into a full blown spiral. For styling inspiration, check out this gallery of curly, fine hairstyles.

Rumors surrounding my demise have been mostly false. After a brief sojourn out into a strange world-- a world of big green things, and small fuzzy things, and no wireless fidelity to be found! --I have triumphantly returned, lusting for any sort of contact with the interwebz. Lolcats pictures are making me giggle, I'm posting trolling messages on bulletin boards, and I am even-- yes, it shames me to say this --watching AMVs on youtube.

Hopefully I'll get my electronic addiction back under control, and be at baseline nerdiness once again.

So I'm Kevin. I like to play videogames, and make snarky commentary about said videogames. My general approach to games tends to be a more pragmatic one, eschewing scholarly examinations in favor of simple questions like "is it fun?". When not playing videogames, I tend to browse craigslist in some effort to fill the aching hole in my heart. Thus far, nothing on the "free stuff" section has managed to do it, but I still hold onto hope!
