Well, braiding it seems like a good option!

My aunt has hair just above her butt, and she permed it (it's straight) to get more volume. It didn't look good because it was very messy, but recently she got some layers cut in, and it looks great! Plus it's full of volume!

I have a question though - when I used to blow dry my hair, rather than making it more volumized, it would make it flat and straight. How come yours doesn't do this?

Oh yes - and brushing hair upside down always gives more volume! 

Here's an idea - damp bunning! A lot of people with long hair swear by this, and I've tried it and find that it's quite good.

There are quite a few ways to do this. I let my hair dry for a little while and then bun it with a hairstick (the idea being a damp bun, not a wet one). Yes, it will still be damp when you take it out, but the idea is to keep the moisture in, and it gives volume in waves  ! I also keep undoing my bun throughout the day, finger combing it to let some air in, and then bunning it again. It feels so good especially in hot weather like this! Hope this helps some  .

This method I am using too I used to wash my hair every day or every second day but since three month I only wash it twice a week and usually blow- dry it carefully or braid it/ do it into a bun while it´s damp.

My hair is waist-length now. It was just cut 4 inches a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know how to take care of it for the longest time, so I had a lot of damage, but that's almost gone.  I think the actual measurement is about 26 inches. I'm only 5 feet tall, so that's pretty long on me.
