my hair is too straight!, I need a new look for school. Options

[left_alone]

My hair is very straight. Each time I try to crimp, curl, or make it wavy - It falls flat again. I have heard that if your hair is more full that you can style it. I have tried shampoos, conditioners, leave in spray products, gel - but nothing works. I have always worn my hair down when I go to school; but I would really like to change my hair now. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong? Or some kind of hair product that might work for me? Thanks!

I would get it cut short with layers and if it would look right on you add some funky bangs. Or sometimes just curl the ends under a little so the hair is a little wavy and add some hairspray..not too much. If your hair is super straight and blowdrying and irons using to style don't really make a difference I say your best bet is to just get some nice layers put in. Straight hair also works well with buns, try nice neat buns or messy buns. Maybe even try a different shampoo... I use 2 kinds and I change every week between the two. I wouldn't get a perm though but maybe try a different color too, not drastic either, maybe a shade lighter or darker. My hair on the other hand is naturally wavy and curly and brown/auburn. I usually use pantene pro v for brunettes with dove mouse and ppv brunettes serum then blowdry my hair. I braid it, use messy buns, leave it down, or even do it like mka and make it a little straight and a little curly.
