Is there any way to give my hair volume on top without teasing?

I want to be able to have lots of volume at the top of my hair and i dont want to tease it. My hair tangles so easy and has been dyed well over 20 times, therefore is very fragile. I have fairly thin hair. I have naturally straight hair. I can fall asleep with it wet and have maybe one wave. through it (cause i pull it in a pony tail while I sleep) I dont want to braid it or anything because I only want it large and volumized up top. I'm getting layers in soon, but that will only help a bit. Help?

1. Use root volumizers: These are products designed to lift hair at the scalp. They come in gel, mousse and spray versions, and you place the product directly at the roots of towel-dried hair, lifting hair with your fingers as you apply.

2. Hot/cold blow-dry your hair at the roots: Blow-drying will give you a good lift if used with a fairly large, round brush. The trick is to situate the brush as close to your scalp as you can, essentially pulling the hair straight up from the base of your head, and using bursts of heat from the blow-dryer, aimed at the brush, followed by cool air which "sets" the style.

3. Set with Velcro rollers: A few strategically placed Velcro rollers will give your hair terrific volume. After hair is washed and blow-dried, curve one-inch sections of the hair you want lifted around the roller (small rollers for a slight lift and large for a higher lift). Three or four rollers should do the trick. Leave rollers in for about five minutes, remove and arrange newly lifted hair with your fingers. It's recommended you don't brush at this point, as brushing could "deflate" the set.

4. Use a curling iron... the right way: Because of the intense heat generated, a curling iron will give an instant lift. Starting at the crown of the head, take hold of one-inch sections of hair and lift vertically, wrapping hair around the iron, as close to your scalp as you can. Then spray with a holding product.

5. Aside from the fact that hair usually has more body when it's colored, sometimes "lift," or hair volume, is more of an impression, and that's where what's known as dimensional hair color comes in. When hair is monochromatic, it appears flatter.

I've used every single one of these techniques and all of them are great! I have fine hair but LOTS of it and have also been dying my hair forever. My hair also has a natural wave to it. The one that's the least stressful on my hair is using hot rollers. I mist my hair with a teeeny tiiiny bit of heat protector like ThermaSilk to make sure I don't do anymore damage to it. It's still in pretty good shape!!

put your head down and blow-dry it then add a tad of hairspray... after you do that, pick your head back up and it's puffed...

blow dry it upside down, but not WAY too dry. that's bad for your hair. then lightly spray it with volumizing hairspray right after you lift your head from the drying. just a LITTLE tho. then comb it out and sleep [not in a ponytail]. and wake up with full hair!

Mousse will help with volume, as will drying it upside down. As for hairsprays, so many of them feel tacky and weigh your hair down. I've used spritzes with success as they are lighter in feel than hairsprays.

With fragile hair, don't ever use rubber bands. They tend to break it badly. Also, when you pull your hair back to sleep, it can cause it to snap and break, too, so make sure you use ties that protect (are coated for gentleness) and make sure they are not too tight.

Hope this will help you out.
