Flip your head, spray a voluminizing hairspray (I *ADORE* Paul Mitchell's Extra Body finishing spray) at your roots and blast with your blow-dryer for just a few seconds. You'll have great volume. Also, take a round, bristle brush and lift top sections of your hair and spray underneath, blast with hot air for a couple of seconds.

Don't concentrate your straightening products on your roots, do it on the ends of your hair. You could also try ironing mid hair down (instead of from roots down)

How can i straighten (flat iron) my hair while keeping its volume??

When your flat ironing your hair, as the iron is going down the hair, turn your wrist to put a little volume in it. You don't have to turn it fast. When the iron is about halfway down the hair, start to turn your wrist and continue to turn until the hair is has reached the end of the iron. You can turn your wrist all the way around (as much as it will go) to put curls in. Or you can hold the hair straight up, take the iron up the hair and start to turn as the iron reaches halfway. It's hard to explain, but easy to do. Just play with it and see what styles you like. Good Luck. Hope this helps

what I have found works the best is to use a root spray before you blow dry your hair. Then use a round brush to blow dry. This creates volume (and helps control the frizz). Use a hot iron protectant spray on your hair before using the flat iron to lock in shine and prevent fly away hairs. Good luck!

it's not really "only" flat iron...

1. Conditioner for oily hair

I have naturally oily, straight hair and I used a shampoo with conditioner and then applied a leave-in conditoner to prevent static. It worked! I used mousse and a bit of hair spray and was static-free almost all day.

2. static....

i get static hair all the time...for short releif of it, use a dryer sheet. i dont know what it is that helps but it does! don't use it for very long though.

3. Moisturizer for hair Rebecca Featherston

Several years ago I was introduced to SEBASTION Potion #9. This is a leave in hair moisturizer, not a conditioner. It's used in place of, after you shampoo. Use it regularly throughout the winter months and you will notice a difference!

4. Winter hair rejuvination Rebecca

Get your hairstylist to color your hair with REDKIN SHADES...this is a conditioning, non-peroxide color wash, you can brighten your hair color by using the shades and mixing with clear to tone down to an acceptable level for your taste. This is a great treatment for the wintertime, it brightens your hair, and deep conditions it at the same time. You'll be hooked after one treatment!

5. Fly Away Hair

If you are having trouble with fly away hair try this. Rinse hair, after shampooing, every now and then with a good liquid clothes conditioner. It greatly cuts down the static in your hair.

6. Surefire Success

Keep your hat on till spring, maybe early summer.

7. To Fight Static...

I have super long (3 1/2 ft. from crown to tips), super thin, super straight hair and static in the winter is a nightmare for me. I have learned 3 good ways of combating it however. #1 Keep a trial size bottle of a leave in spray conditioner with you at all times (you can buy these in drug stores for pennies). #2 Run a dryer sheet over your hair. #3 Spray something like Static Guard over your hair (this may stink but it's effective).

8. Smooth Hair

My stylist told me that when you rinse out your conditioner, you should use colder water. When you look at a piece of hair under a microscope, it looks like the shingles of a roof. When you use colder water to rinse out your conditioner, it closes those "shingles" and makes your hair smoother.

9. Better hair

Before showering, I comb my hair one last time. This helps to distribute the natural oils in your hair. When in the shower, I usually comb my conditioner into my hair paying special attention to the tips because this is where your hair has less moisture. When I'm done I usually blast cold water onto my hair. This helps with keeping the hair moisturized since it closes the hair shaft and it makes your hair extremely shiny.
