I really hate admiting to knowing so much about this but I happened to work in a shampoo parlor/hair dressing shop (don't laugh, I dealt with hot, rich women all day). Anyways, I can't help you with style but if you really want your hair to look good, start by buying good hair care products. Rusk, Sebastian and some others ( I can give you more names if you want). Stay away from the expensive trendy brand as their are usually crap, ie. Paul Mitchel. A very effective product on giving your hair a great shine are those silk products. They really work and a bottle will last a long time. If you have thin straight hair definitely check out Sebastion products, specifically the Slipline product. You only need the shampoo and conditioner and maybe a gel or moose if you style your hair.
