However, straighteners are still required and recommended to create many styles. When volume is required, a volumising shampoo and conditioner can create a great foundation to achieve a voluptuous finished look. Then, the hair can either be blow dried in sections with a round brush to create lift at the roots and smooth through the mid-length and ends. Alternatively, the hair can be blow dried upside down manipulating the roots to sit the opposite way to what they are used to.

A 'leave in' conditioner can be placed in the hair before drying to keep the hair well nourished and moisturised after it is dried and styled. Also, styling products can be used in wet hair to smooth out any frizzy or fly aways, and a volumising spray can provide further volume for fine hair.

Once the hair is dry and it comes to the straightening part, taking bigger sections will help save the volume and 'blow dried' look in the hair. Also by putting the straighteners in from a couple of inches down from the root and smoothing from there will prolong the volume that has already been created, whilst still focusing on smoothing the mid-lengths and ends. Bending the hair in different directions when smoothing the hair out will give it a lot more movement, especially if the hair is layered. Sometimes bending the hair under or pulling it back away from the face will make the hair seem a lot fuller and give it more body so the hair has still been straightened but is not polka straight and flat to the head.

Sometimes not having a definite parting in your hair will help create volume through the top section by brushing it back over the crown, this will automatically create volume and give more movement through the layers, and then don't forget a hairspray to hold the hair and keep it in its desired style.
