USAToday.com actually had an awesome article on this very topic yesterday, and I wanted to share an excerpt from it.
“Hair dryers are a cheap upgrade to a room and well …read more

Just like the illustration shows, part the hair in the crown then tease. Place the Bumpits behind the parted line apply hair spray and you’re done. Instant hair volume to solve the flat hair problems.
