Question Posted Friday September 14 2007, 11:17 pm
so my hair is naturally straight. [i'm asian] & it doesn't really get a lot of volume. so what are some tips or products that i can get to give my hair long lasting volume. nothing to expensive but also nothing cheap that only keeps it volumized for a couple of hours. also my hair always has that split in the middle and i absolutely hate it! when i run my fingers through my hair, it still ends up splitting right in the middle.how can i keep it from splitting and just connecting together? thanks!

First of all just go to target and buy one of those big cans of hairspray like Garnier Fructis with a continuous spray not just like you have to keep pushing the button. Lift up sections of your hair and spray underneath by the roots. Next buy a baby comb with very small teeth and take those sections and brush lightly down. This will give it some more volume. Try to lightly curl it and spray it with spray, this should help.

Loreal, Suave and all those hair product brands and look for soomething that says volumizing. I would use moouse to make your hair have more volume. To get rid of the part.. shampoo your hair, rinse it, then put conditioner and do NOT rinse, brush your hair so that its all untangled, brush it back real good so that no hair is sticking out, then get a scunchie/elastic and put it in a tight bun that is mid way, not high not low. Then get a shirt..like a thin tank top and figure out a way to wrap your hair with it. (to hard to explain on comp.) or get a huge bandana. And once you have that on.. get a scrunchie and put it on the bun but over the bandana/shirt. Make sure its tight and wont come off. Now your hair in the morning will be back. and should stay back. Now you can do that with any part.. just part it how you want before wrapping it up. Good luck. tell me how it comes out so if it doesnt work I can help again.

Products do almost nothing. I think the longer your hair (mine is super long) the more it looks flat on the top of your head because it's carrying more weight and gravity makes it fall... if it's heavy it will weight down and look limp. I notice that people with short hair look like they have more volume. Products you can try, they might work for you.
I quote: "Use root volumizers: These are products designed to lift hair at the scalp. They come in gel, mousse and spray versions, and you place the product directly at the roots of towel-dried hair, lifting hair with your fingers as you apply." For after you have washed your hair.
You can try using a volumizing shampoo and/or conditioner like Aussie Aussome Volume Shampoo or Dove Extra Volume Shampoo and Conditioner.
