I have recently found 2 photos showing different extremes of my hair! Might see if I can add them to profile.

Use a volumising mousse on your scalp then blow dry upside down for maximum volume then finger into shape a blast with Shockwaves should keep it held for the day,or grow it long like mine and tie it up on top and save a fortune on products. grin

I use L'Oreal Sculpting Spritz Ultra Strong hold, which is a gel spray, and also a gel from a tube. Both together should help as phoenix says!

I use them to stop my hair from taking over the world!

Consider using something other than hairspray, have a look at VO5 mega Hold weather resistant gel spray. Give your hair a blast of it, then arrange as you please with your fingers, tail end of a comb etc, then lightly mist it again to hold in your chosen position!

(If you want REAL volume effect, bend forward and spray your hair sort of upside down, however prepare to be alarmed when you first look in the mirror after! grin

I have hair like that NanKate and I use Tesco Maximum hairspray. I think it's about 80 pence in a purple can. It holds mine OK! smile

I have hair that goes flat very easily, even though I use all the plumping up shampoos etc.

When I have managed to get my hair into a reasonable look I spray the strongest hair spray all over and hope that it will stay, but it never does.

Can anyone recommend some good hair products, especially hair spray ?
