Add some texture

The first tip for a straight-haired girl is to know how to add bounce to her hair. Scrunch some gel or mousse into your hair and scrunch it with your hand for textured tresses. Wondering how to do it? Start with wet conditioned hair, and apply a small amount of product and run it with your fingers. Make sure you don't apply too much on the roots because they will end up making your hair look oily. Toss your hair forward and do some scrunching upside down for best results. Avoid using heat and brushing your hair afterwards cause they might make your hair look more frizzy.
Tie it up

One of the best things about straight hair is that they start looking better in a day or two after you wash them. An easier way to add body to your hair overnight is to wash your hair at night and tie your hair in a loose messy bun or braid. The secret for straight hair girls is that your hair starts looking better on the second day when some of the essential oils start returning to your scalp. And if you plan on brushing your hair then make sure you brush your hair from the tips to the roots carefully so that there is no breakage.
Vinegar is your saviour

A vinegar rinse can do wonders for girls who have straight hair as it takes away the heavy products which weigh down your hair. Various hair products can make your locks look dull and lifeless and it is very important to clean the stuff off your hair so that they can be bouncy & shiny again. All you have to do is add a tablespoon of vinegar to one cup of water and rinse your wet hair with the mixture. Run it through your hair and leave it on for 5-7 minutes to eliminate dryness and then wash it off. Do this for a few times a week to achieve the best results.
Say NO to Alcohol
Products that contain alcohol can strip away oils from your hair that make your hair look healthy and rich. Alcohol is present in almost every other commercial hair styling product and can result in making your hair look dry and lifeless. So look out for all the ingredients present on your hair products like mousses or leave-ins. A tiny amount of alcohol is harmless in your products but if you have extremely dry hair then you must invest in alcohol-free hair products for healthy hair.
Colour your mane!

Colouring your hair is the best way to fake texture and add colour gradations. With colour, you can create depth and add fullness to your hair. Adding some colour to your hair will make you look lively and stylish as hell. Monotone colours are a big no for your hair so it is ideally suggested to opt for low lights in darker tones since highlights can make your hair look very weird. However, you can also opt for highlights in lighter tones to get beautiful hair. Also, it is very important to use less heat, a good conditioner and regular gentle brushing for gorgeous straight hair.
