And you thought primer was just that thing you put on your face before makeup... every once in awhile, when you actually have your s&$# together. TiGi Bedhead Big Head Volume Boosting Foam, $23, is a combination primer, volumizer, texturizer and conditioner for your hair. Whereas makeup primers smooth skin for makeup application, this primer coats hair with flexible polymers for fuller-looking strands with a bit of grip.

"The priming agent forms a film about the hair fiber that sets the foundation with light hold," explains TiGi US Creative Director Thomas Osborn, "[and] the texturizer in the formula gives hair fiber-on-fiber friction that builds body." The result: Thin, fine hair appears immediately fuller with mussed-up, sexy texture.

Osborn suggests combining TiGi hair products for maximum, rock-star volume. "Apply Big Head Boosting Foam throughout damp hair from mid-lengths to ends, and cocktail with Queen For A Day Thickening Spray at the roots," he says.

If you don't have time to blow-dry, curl or, hell, even brush your hair in the morning, there's a product to help build body in your fine hair: Redken No Blow Dry Airy Cream for Fine Hair, $24. It speeds up hair's drying time, controls frizz, conditions and creates movement. Not bad for a humble leave-in cream.

"It can seem counterintuitive for a stylist to recommend a styling product that involves nothing more than air-dry," says Rodney Cutler, Redken brand ambassador and owner of Cutler/Redken Salons in NYC. But, he says, "The effortless look is more chic than ever. As a stylist, it's important for me to give a client a great cut and shape so that their hair can dry naturally, and this product is the perfect complement."

If you're the roll-out-of-bed type, apply the cream to towel-dried hair before you to go sleep. Then, twist it into a topknot and secure with a soft hair tie. When you take down your hair in the morning, you'll have natural-looking, frizz-free waves.
