Tip for dry, volumeless, fine hair

My hairs a nightmare, well it used to be really good but as I´ve grown older its become dry, volumeless and flat. Now I admit I am gradually loosing hair but the type of hair I have exaserbates this look, unless I get it in really good condition, It looks much worse than it is. I think this is because I also have fine hair, where an underlying layer seems to vanish unless its in good condition (its kind of hard to explain). Wax´es work best with my hair because they seem to moisturise and gather up and spread my hair, however they never tend to hold. Gels are usually bad because they just clump together the hair and make it go hard.
However if you use a conditioner as a styling product, you´ll find that it does actually hold really well, without leaving a hard residue, gives volume, moisturises the hair and can be easily brushed out. My hair looks amazing every time I use it. Its a godsend.
