My hair is straight, thin and fine, and has no volume. I prefer not to tease my hair because it can be damaging and it doesn't stay well in my hair. Can anyone recommend a good communicating product that works for my hair type? Also, can you clarify if it is meant to be applied while hair is damp our dry? Any suggestions for how to get volume would be appreciated! This picture is of my hair when air dried after a shower.

Have you tried using a dry shampoo? I've heard that can help with gaining some volume.

As does this and it isn't too expensive.

Well first off, you are so pretty and your skin looks gorgeous! What products are you wearing in that photo? Anyways, I also love that Got2B powder!

As you can tell in my pictures, I have a lot of volume in my hair. I do tease my hair 95% of the time and my hair is very healthy and not damaged; but my hair is also very thick. My hair basically has natural volume but a main reason I am able to get such "big hair" is by how it is cut with so many layers and also just because its so thick to begin with. Your hair on the other hand is the complete opposite of mine; using volumizing products can only do so much for you... But I do think blow drying (upside down) your hair would help give you some volume.

I would also recommend adding some layers on the top to create some dimension, but I also think that trying some hair extensions would probably be your best bet.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'll have to try that got2b powder! I tried blowing my hair dry upside down today with a little bit of big sexy volumizing dry shampoo and it helped, but after like an hour or so it fell pretty flat again. I've never used extensions before, so maybe I should try that too!
Also, Lisa, you are so sweet! Thanks, but honestly I think in this picture I had a soft skin type of effect on by accident. Haha I was so bummed when I realized it wasn't truly what my skin looked like! Haha I have lots of freckles and I go back and forth on whether or not I should cover them up so I have never invested in a good foundation. I just stick with a light powder usually if I wear it at all. So sorry, but I'm no help there!

I have the same type of hair, fly away hair my parents used to say. I've found that the OGX Argan shampoo and conditioner is a must for me. Then, I've been using a deluxe sample of phyto phytokératine extrême cream; putting some in my hair when wet, and blows tying it upside down. Then if I want more volume I'll spray Samy Fat Hair hairspray focusing on the roots. And poof! Perfect hair!
