How to volumnise oily and extremely fine hair

Sick and tired of  thin, oily and limp hair? No worries! Here's an effective way to achieve voluminous hair in 5 simple steps.

1.Change your SHAMPOO!

invest in a really good shampoo, and trust me, you will see your hair get healthier.Shampoos that i recommend for thinning/fine hair would be the:- 
Nioxin system 1 cleanser-now this is one amazing shampoo for thin hair, after using this a few times, my hair is noticeably healthier and a lot less oilier than it used to be however the drawback would be its price.
herbal essences in unbreakable seduction-this is another alternative that is more inexpensive compared to the nioxin system 1 cleanser. ive just recently started using this and so far its still maintaining the condition of my hair right now. 

2.Blow your hair with your head upside down

always use a heat protecting mist when blow drying your hair. from my experience, using a heat protecting mist also reduces the frizziness of your hair and also making it sleek and shiny. I've seen lots of tutorials that encourage people to use non heat methods to curl your hair, but for those with super straight and thin hair, don't even bother trying.

3.Tie your hair into a high bun when still warm

While your hair is still warm from blow drying, quickly tie your hair into a high bun. DO NOT comb your hair while fixing it, u need your hair roots to be as loose as possible (this also makes your hair fall naturally) so that your hair volume can be created.

4. Sit around and wait for it to cool down

 This will take about 10-15 minutes. i recommend you to blow your hair right after your bath so you can get ready put on make up, etc while waiting for your hair to cool down.

5. Untie your bun and TADA! now you've got amazing hair!

ok not really, after untying your bun, your hair will look like a mess. Use a large tooth comb and comb it through you hair gently. Arrange your hair until you're satisfied. Spray on some styling mist/hairspray and ur good to go!
