First blowdry your hair, then, section at a time, heat a section and build volume at the same time by rolling a large hot air brush from the scalp, out,and then put the warmed hair on the velcro roller. Set all this way and then remove rollers, shake the hair out, and finger comb into place. Use styling spray/hairspray to finish. Sorry I did not take the time to send this suggestion to your email address. I hope you may refer back to this message board

First, I would look for a shampoo designated for fine limp hair. One word to look for is "bodyfying"then, for the ends, look for conditioner that is designated "reconstructive" careful how you use! After shampoo, towel blot and apply reconstructive conditioner just to ends, comb to distribute well, leave a few min, then rinse lightly with tepid water. Be sure not too use too much. When letting the hair dry naturally, a very light creme jel or mousse might give the hair a nicer texture. When blowdrying, for extra volume, I like "Paul Mitchell volumizing spray. Apply just to the root erea on top, work in, and blowdry, brushing the hair at the base to build volume. Incedentally, I have never run across a volume product that works so well with oily hair. It seems to actually retard oil breakthrough, I suppose because it is alcohol free as alcohol stimulates oil output. Hope this was helpful

Hi...I have fine and straight hair. Right now my hair goes about an inch below my ears and it has long layers. I like this haircut but even with the layers my hair doesn't have enough volume. I'm wondering what I should do? I was thinking of maybe using rollers.. but I know nothing about rollers.. if anyone can help me with this one, I would really appreciate it. Let me know what kind of rollers I should use, and if rollers is the right thing to use. Thanks so much! :)Please e-mail me at wow1@bigfoot.com if you can help me...bye bye :)

The actress Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal) has very fine, straight hair--and an excellent haircut. It's sort of a deconstructed bob, with some layers around the face, but cut blunt enough that it adds visual "weight" to the look. Lately, her hair has been getting very long; I think it looked best cut just above the shoulders.
