How can I get more volume in my hair?

[chasegirl]

I have reasonably thick stubborn shoulder length hair but its very floppy and lacks volume. Any tips or products to help increase the volume?

When you wash your hair, lather shampoo in your hands before applying to hair. Don’t apply conditioner to the first inch or two from the root.

When it is only ever so slightly damp, pile it up on your head and wrap a towel round it. Leave for a bit and take off towel.

Use 'product' like clay or 'beachy waves' spray

I concur what PPs said. Also, make sure you have slight layers in as well- the outer layer being slightly shorter than hair underneath lifts it up nicely, if that makes sense. Always struggle explaining this to hairdressers and end up with 'layers' as in shorter hair around the face, which doesn't help.
