My low-maintenance volume solution

I just found it! On advice from a friend, I tried Garnier Fructis's XXL Volume products.....Root Booster and Weightless Gel.

SWEET! I partially dried my hair before applying both products then dried the rest of the way upside down. Great volume! As I said in my other thread, I have long layers and about shoulder blade/almost BSL length hair. I just threw some curls along the bottom with a big curling iron and sprayed (lifting at the roots a bit) with Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Harder. Not too much, though.....and VOILA!

I think the key is partially drying your roots before applying BOTH products. It seemed to make a huge difference. My avatar pic is not an everyday style. It's my 'other' volume solution......the 'high maintenance' one. My hair's about 4 or 5 inches longer now and it's harder and harder to keep volume. The SE Texas humidity murders hairstyles. <sigh> Oh, it's no fun having fine/thin hair and loving where I live.  I do have awesome 'hair days' for about 2 1/2 months a year, though.
