The Cut: Ask your stylist for a little "cushioning," Marc Anthony's clever technique of snipping hairs supershort (half-inch to one-inch long) throughout the crown and sides. The short strands form a cushiony base, boosting longer hair on top. Sounds scary, but trust us, you won't notice the spiky hairs - just the amazing body.

The Products: Get straight to the root with root-lifting spray, such as Tresemme Volume Big Boost, $4 (spritz on damp hair). "It adds stiffness to the roots so they stand straight rather than fall flat," says Anthony. When hair is dry, rub Anthony's Instantly Thick Volume Boost Thickening Balm, $8, between fingers until it feels powderlike, then massage into roots.

The Styling Trick: No, you don't have to change your part, just confuse it a little. When hair is 90 percent dry, flip your part to the opposite side. Blow-dry, targeting roots. Let cool, then toss hair back in place. "It's an easy way to get tons of lift," says Anthony.

Walgreen's and Eckerds might carry them too. You can go to his website (marcanthony.com) to see where else his products are sold.

update- i picked up the marc anthony thickening balm and the cream. when i go to the store ill get the treseme root lift and ill make a post on how it works.

 
the cushioning sounds so interesting! I will ask my stylist about this technique next time I go.

It´s weird, for years I have been wanting nothing but flat, pin straight hair and nowadays I am always on the hunt for root lifters, volumizing mousses, rollers etc to get volume
