Ok, I was wondering..I have really fine hair and my ears always poke through so i was wondering how i could make the roots or my hair poofier...i bought this alberta root volumizer but i have to straighten my hair so it always flattens it.....what am i doing wrongggggggggggg????? I want it to look like this pic: any pointers?

use one of those combs with the fine teeth
lift your hair at the roots
mostly in the back
and brush it all down, don't worry it won't break your hair
its called back brushing
this will create a cousion of air there, and the rest should poof

oh, and hairspray isyour best friend

Hair extensions also help for thin hair, but sorry I can't give much advice on that.

hair extention ruin your hair.
backcombing works on thin hair too, you just have to keep at it.

Not really, it all depends what your using and how it is done. Sometimes it doesn't even bother the hair at all.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by back combing...i think i have an idea but how exactly do you do it

and I do this AFTER i flat iron my hair?

Yeah, iron it, then just tease it up
It'll be straight, but it'll be spikey/poofy

OK, thanks alot. now how do you backcomb? im stupid when it comes to hair

The link I sent you basicaly shows you how.
Just pull th ehair straight up, and comb down into the roots
it'll kind of knot and make a cousion of air forthe hair to rest on
spray it, style it, and you're done :)

really good for short hair styles, but ti can work for medium/long too


do it where you need volume
otherwise you'll look like a huge puff ball lol

I've never heard of backcombing before but it seems like it'll work.

1. Wash and half dry your hair upside down with a blowdryer.

2. Apply a tiny bit of your hair cream stuff and rub it into your scalp, but not on the ends of your hair because it will weigh it down.

3. Finish blowdrying your hair upside down and massage your scalp at the same time.

4. When you're done drying, brush through lightly and spray a crapload of hairspray all over your hair, but from far away so it doesn't go crispy. Make sure it's not just on the top layer of your hair, lift up pieces and spray under them.

5. When you think you have enough hairspray, flip your head over and shake your head. It will make it kind of poofy, but it doesn't matter.

6. Straighten your hair, and spray more hairspray all over it. All the hairspray gives your hair a better texture.

7. Lift up pieces of your hair, so they are vertical from your scalp. Get a fine toothed comb and comb DOWNWARDS on your hair, so instead of going from your scalp to the tips, from the ends to the scalp. It will give your hair loads of body and volume.

8. When you like the effect, HAIRSPRAY IT!!! And kind of poof it upwards with your hands by running your fingers through it but not downwards, upwards. It also helps to not wash your hair every day, and to keep spraying hairspray at random times :D :D :D


Hope that helped, lol.

tease ur hair

after you straighten your hair, pick up sections of hair and spary hair spray at the roots.
also, if you tease it you'll get a more volumized look.

dunno if someone said this already... too bored to read through everything people said.

while your hair's still wet, put ur head upside down. (like between your legs lol)
blow dry and the underside with a flat brush at the same time, while you;re upside down.
but watch if you have bangs... they go crazzzzyy if you do this. you have to do them before, and every few minutes go rightside up and fix them up or else they'll go insaneee.
if you have straight, or even up to wavy hair, this will striaghten your hair aswell, you wont need to straughten it.
gooood luuuck!*
