Get a wavy, graduated bob A big challenge for women with straight, thinning hair is creating body, volume, and movement, says Stevens. With this sexy graduated bob, you get all three. To style it:

Step 1: Shampoo, condition, and treat hair with products formulated for your hair type. (Try NIOXIN 3-part System, $37.99.)

Step 2: Blow dry hair without a blow dryer nozzle attachment. (The attachment can flatten your hair more.)

Step 3: When hair is half-dry, apply a volumizing product at the roots (try NIOXIN Root Lifter, $14). Finish drying with a boar-bristle round brush.

Step 4: Spray a 1-inch section of hair with hairspray and straighten it from roots to ends with a 1-inch flat iron (set to less than 250 degrees F). Turn your wrist upward to create a slight curl. Then pin curl that section up and secure with a clip. Repeat all around your head.

Step 5: When hair is cool, remove clips and finger comb for a tousled, wavy finish.

MinoxiBoost is a very helpful product that helps remove the sebum "scalp scum" of your scalp giving your Minoxidil product the best opportunity for growth. See for yourself; just do a search on it ;) Hope this was more helpfull:)
