How can i achieve great heights...with my hair?

Question

My hair is pretty blah. I straighten it everyday and i'd love a change. How do i achieve maximum volume? Please don't tell me to try sunsilk, because i tried it and my hair was as flat as ever. I'm especially in love with this..http://www.beautyriot.com/stuff/images/articles/approve/2879_3440_Hilton-Paris-05-4x.jpg

and please don't reply and just tell me not to straighten it. i do know this.. i'm not retarded. i just want tips.

i'd also like to add that i take a shower at night. I take too long in the morning with my makeup! Or else i'd be late for classes. So i'm clueless. BTW, i still don't understand the meaning of teasing your hair!

Answer 1

1. Get extensions like Paris, Giselle, etc. Remember that Hollywood is full of celebs with fake hair- that's the main way they achieve volume!

2. If you've got long hair, cut off a few inches to reduce the overall weight of your hair.

3. Wash with a volumizing product and condition just the bottom half of your hair, avoiding the roots. If you don't like Sunsilk, try investing in your hair. Look at the Kerastese Volumactive line.

4. Let your hair air-dry (or get a hair towel) until it's about 80% dry. Then, use a big golf-ball sized dollop of mousse and work through all of your hair (don't miss the roots!)

5. Blow-dry. Either flip your head over and dry with your hair upside down (faster) or use a big round brush to lift your hair away from your head as you dry (more time-consuming).

6. Now, pin up the top half of your hair. Take a section of hair, spray the roots with strong-hold hairspray, let it dry for a few seconds and then tease it with a fine-toothed comb. Do this to all of the bottom half of your hair, then let the top half down and repeat. Use a round brush to smooth the top layer.

7. If you want a wavier look, once you've teased your hair take a curling iron and curl big sections from your ears down.

This will trash your hair. Stars can do it daily because their hair isn't real. I personally don't like rollers and get my big hair this way.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS. Do you seriously think that the people whose hair you admire SLEEP on their hair and then expect it to be voluminous the next morning? Unless you somehow manage to sleep while you're hanging upside-down, you're going to have to start waking up a bit earlier if you want your hair to have lots of body! To tease your hair, grab a section and lift it up really high. Use a fine-toothed comb to comb BACKWARDS (towards the roots, not towards the ends) through the two or three inches closest to your scalp.

Answer 2

First off, I know what you mean about it takin to long in the mornings... i wash my hair at night to. All you have to do is either:
1) In the morning, spritz a little bit of water onto your roots. Turn your head upside down and blowdry until it is all the way dry. Then spritz hairspray or other holding product on. You might want to try using a volumizing product, so your hair will stay all day.
OR
2)You can tease (also called backcombing) your hair. To tease your hair, first take a small layer of hair from the top of your head and pin it up. Then take a comb and a layer of hair that's not to thick. Hold up the hair and put the comb about half-way up your hair and comb downwards, toward your roots. Keep doing this until you have a nice padding at the roots of your hair. Repeat until your hair is all teased. Let down the top layer of your hair and spray with hairspray or other product to hold it.
Hope I helped!

Answer 3

-comb your hair at night before going to sleep at least 50x...
-if you want it to grow long, trim your hair half an inch a month(trust me, it works)
-dont comb your hair, if wet..
