I've been growing out my hair for quite a few years, and stopped dying it over 5 years ago (so my hair is now completely my natural color). A good trim is probably one of the best things you can do for your hair, however, I also think these products ... For reference: My hair is fine and thin, and tends to get oily quickly. I like products that add a little bit of volume, as well as smoothness. I tend to just let my hair air dry about half of the time, and I style it the other half of the time. I think using hair bands that don't pull or tug at the hair also help a lot!

Things I have used and enjoy
All of these are things I've tried and really like to use in my hair. Some are very similar products that I alternate based on my current budget!
This is probably my “holy grail” of hair care products. It lasts FOREVER because you don't need much, but I think my hair looks the absolute best when I use this.
Aveda Botanical Repair Leave-In Treatment
I love my FlexStyle. It's definitely the best hair dryer I've ever used.
Shark FlexStyle Air Multi-Styler HD430
Before I had the FlexStyle, this was my girl. I still love it. It gives great volume and cuts drying time by a lot!
REVLON One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer Styler
Because my hair is so fine, I like using products that help with volume. This conditioner does that and does not weigh down my hair. Also, it smells great!

I really love a good clarifying shampoo, and I feel like this gets my hair really clean but doesn't strip it or make it feel too dry.
13.5 oz Scalp Sync Clarifying Shampoo for Oily Scalp - Biolage | Ulta Beauty
This is a pretty good styling cream for the price- it can weigh my hair down, but I think if someone had heavier hair than me, it would work great!

My favorite dry shampoo of all time- it's pretty $$$ so I don't get it too often but I usually keep a small bottle on hand for when I want my hair to look my best on 2nd or even 3rd day!
5.5 oz Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo - Living Proof | Ulta Beauty
WORTH THE HYPE! The Wet Brush is my all time favorite brush- I used to have such a hard time with my hair, it gets tangled super easy since it's so fine and thin and straight- but this brush makes brushing a breeze!
