I know your problem well!
Usually my hair is kept long and the top does get weighed down by both length
and volume.
Must stay away from those volumizing shampoo's or my hair would be sticking out
2 feet from my head! 
If your hair is going to naturally flip out like a bell then try to find a hair
cut that is going to compliment that. OR. Train your hair out of it.
Depending on your hair, training it to do something other then what it naturally
does can be a pain in the behind.
A lot of combing with the proper type of brush, the correct amount of blow
drying, the right products, etc.
I don't know the technical term for all of this but a couple suggestions
regarding volume.
Part your hair more to one side of your head which will give the appearance of
more volume on top over all, and the small portion which is flatter will look to
be intentional.
If you like to have a middle part you can weave your hair in sections/chunks.
Take a part of your hair from the top of your head and cross it over the middle
of your hair part to the other side, then bring the section directly behind it
over to the other side of your head, so on and so forth from the front to the
back of your hair line.
Do not use any heavy weight conditioners or other hair products on the top of
your head, this will also weigh it down.
Their are specific gels/creams, etc that you can use at the base of your hair in
such a manner to give more lift and definition to it.Everything I've done, and all that I have yet to do, is only to forget the meaning of your name. |

In the very least. Things like the "leave in conditioners" do not put those any
where near your roots. Even a little of that can go a loooong way. I have pretty
long and really thick hair, I only use a dime sized amount of leave in
conditioners or any other product after cleaning my hair for that matter.
If there is evenly slightly too much concentration of a product in one place I
will notice, it feels icky, it feels/looks weight down and maybe even a little
greasy.
So make sure you rub the product in between your fingers/hands before applying
it to your hair.
Thinks like hair masques are best to use on the end of your hair working your
way up but leaving the roots alone.
There's one Olive hair masque made by Regis that I'm using right now. It's
WONDERFUL to help control frizz and makes it very soft and sleak.
Daily conditioner anything from any brand like pantene, suave, aussie you name
it, are fine to use through out all of your hair from root to tip as long as you
rinse it out very very well. Any remaining soap or daily conditioner residue can
also leave your hair looking weighed down.
I've noticed that a lot of "shine" sprays will weigh hair down a little. So at
times I've used them to my advantage.
I will spray it on the sides/back and tips of my hair but leaving the top alone,
so the overall volume of my hair from root to tip will even out a little
further.
If you have a bad frizz or slit ends problem do your best to treat your hair
gently and with respect and eat good foods. Frizz and bad split ends can make it
appear as if their is even more volume to your hair.
Have you tried layering your hair on the underside? It will take some weight off
the top, but may help to prevent that bell shape. Usually people do that cut to
make their hair not appear so thick.
I have done that several times in the past. The only down side is keeping the
shorter pieces of fly away under control.Everything I've done, and all that I have yet to do, is only to forget the meaning of your name. |

Jurgita forum 
. There's also the problem of volume. Because
of the incredible amount of hair I have, and it's current length, it tends to
flatten the top with the weight 
with this hair it's either live with them or despair. I dont think
layering on the underside has been tried yet, that might work!
It figures! I use
a detangling spray from Body Shop to brush my hair while it's still wet. I'll
try experimenting without it and post the results
