Flat hair in the morning? How do you add VOLUME?

[itismehmmkay]

Usually, I just sleep in rollers to keep my hair curled and full of volume w/o frequently using heat. However, I think the rollers are compromising my hairline edges too much.

So, I plan to go back to just sleeping w/ a scarf at night to start protecting my edges more.

I plan to just pop in some rollers in the morning before my bath for extra volume. I'm pretty confident this will work, but other suggestions would be great!

If your hair is long enough you can put it into a loose, high ponytail or two and roll those up instead. I've also pin-curled the section right in front of my ears to avoid the tension of rollers. I'd usually sleep in a satin bonnet and finger-comb in the morning.

girl i got 1 word for you (okay maybe two...) STEAM ROLLERS. go get one quick, fast, hurry. all of your flat hair, no-body hair days will be OVER. My hair look professional rollerset everyday. except my hair ain't perfectly straight, it's a little thick & textured and me likey......

So my morning routine is as soon as i wake up, i roll 5-10 rollers in my hair (usually takes 8mins). then i shower and get dressed. and by the time i finish dressing, i take the rollers out...shake my head like tina turner and i'm out the door... 'nuff said!

Just curious...any recommendations on where I can find good quality, but affordable, steam rollers???

I'm having the same problem. Its hard keeping your hair looking good (at least at my length) w/o using heat.

Try a twist out fro...braid hair in 4-6 twists and perm rod the ends with a little oil. In the morning release the twists and separate them till you hair is really full and big and wavy. Talk about volume and bounce. I love this style in the summer.
