Details: I have very naturally straight and fine hair, which is mid-back in length, and I have dyed black for many years now. When I wash it, I blow dry it which makes it kind of frizzy so then I have to flat iron it. The problem is, the flat iron flattens my hair TOO much so it looks limp. I have tried very nice, expensive products on my hair, i.e. serums, leave in treatments, hot oils, weekly treatments, so it is soft and shiny but it just either has volume and is frizzy or is flat but limp.. Help me!

I did this for a special occasion - before you flat iron - put your serum on the lower part ONLY of your hair - and put some volumizer spray and /or mousse on your roots. Keep that spray handy.
my stylist showed me this next move - use a brush to pull your hair from the roots in the OPPOSITE direction as it falls - and blow dry in sections. also helps to blow dry from underneath - and let your hair cool for a few seconds before coming up. (hair folicles are opened with heat & close when cool) - use spray during this process - a light spray on the roots - especially on the crown of your head.
then, when that is done, most of the rest of your hair will be dry - and you can iron it. don't pull too much - as this will pull down some of your volumizing work.
good luck!

Have you tried flat ironing your hair while your head is upside down? You can either flat-iron the roots, which will make it come out more at the roots, or you can blow dry again at the roots,which will have the same effect. You can also possibly take some anti-frizz cream, rub it between your hands, and flip your head and rub a little at the roots, that'll make it voluminous too.

same problem here. i straighten my hair then i take sections and put them on the opposite side of my head and hair spray at the root tips and then blow dry the hair spray dry, then i brush it so it doesn't stand up all crazy and i find that really helps. good luck. there is also this shampoo and conditioner that TRULY works. it's a red tall skinny bottle (and it's cheap) ummmm, what's the brand. it's for volumizing hair, sorry i cant remember the name.

Hmm, maybe blow dry your hair upright at the roots to give more volume (not upside down) and then don't straighten your hair from your roots, leave a few inches gap.

try using a volumizing product before or after you straighten your hair.
