Hair help!

My hair needs lots of help! I have long hair (waist length) my strands are quite fine in texture - when I have a pony tail it’s skinny long thing on my head 😂 I’m definitely lacking volume.

any hair style that is down (waves, curls etc) only stays in my hair for no longer than 30 mins or so, I treated myself to a blow dry & style at a hairdressers last week and by the time I drove home (20 mins) it was back to its normal straight self.
I use extra hold hairspray when styled but it doesn’t help. The only way it stays in is if I use like half a can and my hair is crispy 😂😅

when I wear my hair down my double crown at the back of my head pokes its way out - which my MIL likes to point out. It makes me feel quite insecure about wearing my hair down so I end up throwing it up in a messy bun.

my MIL is my usual hairdresser but she just says it my hair type and that’s it. Nothing else I can do.

I use dry shampoo but again it doesn’t add volume really.

with my hair being fine I have to wash it at least every other day, but will 100% need dry shampoo on my not hair washing day, if that makes sense.

Please give me you all beauty tips for amazing hair!! 💕

I have no tips, but I have the exact same hair type, but instead of a double crown I have a cowlick, so I sympathise, nothing ever worked for me. It's not a problem anymore because i've had dreadlocks for 10 years, but I always hated my thin straight hair.

I think your MIL is a rubbish hairdresser. Book a consultation with another.

Also I missed the bit about you being insecure about your double crown sticking out, don't get layers that will make it worse, how about a half up half down style?
