Is your hair flat and without volume? Sometimes this is caused by poor shampooing techniques. (For example, if you're not rinsing your hair correctly after a shampoo, residue from your shampoo may be weighing your hair down.) Sometimes it's poor hair styling techniques. Sometimes it's poor hair products. Sometimes, it's just nature at work.

To increase your hair's volume, first make sure you are using the right shampoo for your hair type. Oily hair is prone to being flat, so if your hair lacks volume it is a sure bet that your hair is the oily type. Look for a mild, volumizing shampoo that is geared for oily hair. Wash your hair carefully before bedtime, mixing the shampoo carefully throughout your scalp and roots. You want to focus on the roots more than the ends. Use warm water to rinse because you want the cuticles to remain open to receive your conditioner. Apply a volumizing conditioner, concentrating it on the ends of the hair, not the roots. Rinse with cool water to close the cuticles and seal-in the conditioners.

Don't brush your hair right away -- gently pat it with a towel to remove most of the water. Mist your hair lightly with a pure silicone styling product to help detangle your hair, take out the frizz and seal in moisture. Then gently comb your hair. If you've got a blow-dryer, give it a quick burst, focusing on the roots. And expert stylists recommend that you blow dry your hair with your head upside down for volume.

If your hair is long enough, take a scrunchy, pull it all to the top of your head and make a loose ponytail. It's important not to put tension on the hair -- don't make it tight. You're just gathering the hair so that when you lay down, it's stretched out on the pillow, not trapped beneath you.

When you wake up, your hair will have more volume. Add a little water to help you style it and be sure to use a pure silicone product to lock in the moisture, maintain the volume and eliminate frizz.
