How can I straighten my hair BUT keep volume, without completely flattening it with an iron?

So my hair is naturally wavy and frizzy, thus to have it straight with volume, it seems i can only iron it (chi iron) because it's hard for me to blow dry my hair myself where it looks presentable.. ironing my hair makes it straight but FLAT..





any tips??How can I straighten my hair BUT keep volume, without completely flattening it with an iron?
Hi there,


One way that you can have smooth hair with volume is blow dry it using a root lifter and volumizing mousse. Blow dry w/your head upside down until 100% dry on hot, then for about a minute cool your hair down (still upside down) with the cold shot button on your dryer, that locks in volume...do that for about another minute Then when you do use the flat iron, DONT flat iron at your root, just half way down the hair shaft. OR--


If you want big sexy flouncy hair, blow dry w/your head upside down as above with the same products, THEN set your hair in large Velcro rollers, spray them lightly w/a thermal active setting spray, and heat all of it up using your diffuser on your dryer and do that for a few minutes so they are nice and warm (just like being under a hood dryer at the salon) Then either let them cool on their own or cool them down w/the cold shot again.


using that cold shot button always locks your style in, locks in shine, control and cuts frizz.


Hope this helps:) Good luck!!How can I straighten my hair BUT keep volume, without completely flattening it with an iron?
1) once your done you can flip you head %26amp; brush your hair


2) there are tonnnns of volume sprays you can get, but go for a better brand


3) once your finished, get your blow dryer %26amp; turn it to the colder setting, and do it to your roots
don't straighten just straight down...


think up and over..like a rainbow(:


clamp your hair and pull it straight up at the roots, then curve it and make a rainbowish shape with your arm/wrist(:
Add mouse to the top of your hair.


Or tease the top, and spray some hair spray, then comb out just a little.





:D
try a big barrel curler. im not saying curl your hair, but you should use a barrel to give volume.
try curling or crimping it instead. :)
tease it!


use a comb and back comb it!
theres special spray 4 that my sister has it it works
