9 Simple Hacks to Make Straight Hair Hold a Curl

I never use styling products other than hair spray, as I worry about making my fine strands look oily, but this is yet another mistake. "Because you are asking your hair to do something that isn't what it naturally does, you need to give it support," insisted Strahan, who recommended a lightweight texturizing mousse like Herbal Essences Naked Volumizing Souffle ($7).

Putting a wet styling product like this one into your damp mane gives it a "memory,” making it hold styles more readily. I witnessed Strahan use this mousse on his own hair over 15 consecutive times and it remained soft, touchable, and decidedly uncrunchy and clean-looking, soothing my oily-strand fears.
