Yup, I could use some good tips too.

My hair is really thick, but it's also really flat. It's hard to maintain full volume looks since my hair is so "heavy" I suppose.
Great tips, katzluva.
I've also been told that it helps to just apply conditioner to the roots of your hair when you wash. Applying it to the scalp actually weighs the hair down a little, making it harder to achieve voluminous gravity-defying looks.
