Whether you want to add volume to straight strands, smooth curls, enhance shine or try a fun new style, you need to start with a few key styling products. Find the right ones for your hair by first figuring out your hair texture. Then you'll quickly learn how to transform your hair using inexpensive styling products and hairstyling ideas.
The first of 4 different hair types, today we focus on Straight hair:


Add shine:
The best way to get shiny, healthy hair is to hydrate your lovely locks. For fine, straight hair use a hydrating mask at least once a week. Try Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Solutions Ultra Light Moisturizing Treatment. This product helps improve the overall health of your hair at $6.00 a jar, Pro-V Fine Hair Solutions is light on the pocket and light on your hair. For thicker hair try Pantene Medium-Thick Hair Solutions Intensive Restoration Treatment, also about $6.00 and a little goes a long way.


Enhance Volume:
Plump up your fine strands with key products. Nothing “volumizes” better than Matrix Amplify line of shampoo, conditioner and hair styling products. Prices range anywhere from $14.50-25.50. Spray a little Volumizing Full Body Texturizing spray or foam for more body than your head can handle. When you combine the shampoo and conditioner in your hair care regime, your final results are amazingly full of body.
 

Add curl or wave:
The easiest way to add curl or wave to your strands is with a good quality curling iron. Try to have several sizes of irons to conform to the look you want. For even better results add product to your hair to make the curls last (See enhance volume). You can also try Garnier Fructis Style Curl Sculpting Cream Gel for fuller, longer lasting curls.
 

Frizz control:
Whether you’re air drying or blow drying your locks, always tame the frizz. Biosilk therapy is a weightless, leave-in silk replenishing and reconstructive treatment to repair hair and bring it back to a smooth, silk to the touch feel and look. Silk will runs from $18.00-25.00, not cheap but very much worth the few extra bucks. You need to use only a dime size and the best part, cruelty free!
