how do you straighten your hair and have volume at the end? like this is precisely what i'm looking for:
in the march issue of cosmogirl! with LC [ laguna beach ] on the cover, if you turn one or two pages, here's this girl advertising for DKNY jeans and she's wearing a denim mini and a yellow flower belt. (she might be in other magazines)
i really really want my hair to look like that! not curly, but just like that really natural not STICK straight hair kinda look.. any ideas?
btw- respond as many times as you like. i rate based on advice, not on how fast you respond. :] (link)

Okay, so, you don't want stick straight hair...you want volume but a do that's not frizzy. There are two ways you can do this!
You can blow-dry your hair as you normally do, I'd use a sleek cream, to fight against frizzies as well as a volumizing mousse, but only use it on your ends. After blowdrying, go plug in the family iron. The one you get wrinkles out of clothes with. Use a hand towel, folded to protect your hand with and place is over your hair on top. Take the iron and put it under and run along the length of your hair. A iron does not get as hot as a flat iron that you use on your hair, so it won't have the drastic straightening affects, so it'll let you keep some volume.
Also, you can use a curling iron. Put it on a medium setting and "straighten" your hair with it. It's round so it gives a lot of volume to your hair.
Butttttt...if you just want to use a flat iron and keep it silky straight: when you straighten your hair, start at your roots and as you start to pull the flat iron along, pull it up and down, rather than straight down, that adds height to your roots thus creating volume. I'd also invest in a volumizing spray for finishing. You just flip your head over and spray it in the roots, flip back and finger through.
A good way to keep volume for days is to take a loose scunchie, pull you hair ON TOP of your head. Not a little to the back, but on top of your head and sleep with it that way. IF you're hair gets really oily, use baby powder.
Hope I've helped, I might have rambled a little, but it's late :-)
Good luck!
