How to fix flat hair

When the humidity gets sucked out of the air, you need to pump up the volume.
Here's how to lift the heaviness.

Keep hair close to one length. "When you overlayer it, you risk taking away too much bulk and actually decreasing the volume," says hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins, who thinks "an angled or graduated bob that's lightly layered works beautifully."

Lighten your base color one or two shades. This "gives the look of more volume," says colorist Rita Hazan of the Rita Hazan Salon in New York City.

If you don't want to change your color, you can still consider using dye for texture—it ruffles the cuticle just enough to create body.

Condition before you shampoo. "You'll still get the moisture and elasticity, but you'll wash out any residue that can weigh down fine hair," says Hawkins.

Blowdry in moderation. Creating volume in fine hair is like making a soufflé—overwork it and the whole thing falls flat. When blow-drying, work on large sections, holding the nozzle a few inches from hair and keeping it moving.

Spray it. To boost volume once the hair is dry, lift three-inch sections and allow them to drop through a mist of medium-hold hair spray, says hairstylist Jimmy Paul, "then spray your entire head with dry shampoo and scrunch; the result is hair with lift and a lovely seemingly no-product finish.
