Volumizing shampoo minimizes the amount of residue left on hair that could weigh it down. Mousse is a styling product that directly gives lift at the roots. Massage mousse into clean, wet hair near the scalp. Blow-dry your moussed hair while pulling a round brush through it to optimize your hair's volume. or perm your hair. If your hair is naturally straight, or you just want to add more texture, there are many ways of temporarily curling your hair. Curling can be done relatively easy at home with a curling iron or rollers. A "permanent wave" adds wavy texture or curls to even the straightest hair through chemical processing and heat. Perms are fairly difficult to do at home and are best left to professional stylists if you are inexperienced. Tilt your face forward and drape your hair in front of you. Drying in this position will lift your roots from your scalp, giving more volume. If you have bangs, dry them right-side up before you start. Your bangs are likely much shorter than the rest of your hair and won't have the same weight. If you dry them upside down, they may stick up too much. Finger waves are a subtle, easy way to add volume and texture to short hair. Damp hair is bunched together in multiple hair clamps and allowed to dry to form the "waves." Variations use curlers at the hair's tips and mousse for hold and added volume.

SUMMARY: Stop straightening your hair. Use volumizing shampoo and mousse. Curl Blow-dry your hair upside down. Incorporate finger waves into your style.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In the top left corner, toggle open Search if it's not already open. When it is, you will see three buttons: Fly To, Find Business, and Directions. Click on Fly To. Enter in your street address, and click the magnifying glass. Google Earth will rotate (more, or less depending on the state or country you've entered), and zoom in pretty quickly to your neighborhood as seen from a few thousand feet. There will be a gray crosshair over your house, next to your address. This is nice, but still a long way from what you want to see. Double click just outside of the gray crosshairs, and let's get closer.  Each double click brings you about halfway between where you were, and the ground. Continue clicking until you are very close. That's usually about three double-clicks. As you can see, it's a little blurry now. That's because the cameras that shoot the tops of houses are several miles up. They do a remarkable job despite that, but you were probably hoping for more. A set of controls will appear—–two virtual joysticks, one with a hand and one with an eye, and if Google has mapped your neighborhood, an orange human icon. Drag the icon to your house and release it. You will be placed on the ground, on your street! You can pan around, looking at your neighborhood—–you can even click on the street and "walk" along the road, anywhere Google has mapped!

SUMMARY: Enter your address. Zoom in closer. Move your cursor to the right side of the page. Look around.
