I always get a wash, hand blow dry, and flat iron. My hair stays very straight, but it's thin and is lacking body. When you don't want to wear your hair in a curly style, what is your process for a straight style with body?
I watched a Taren Guy video on a roller set with minimal heat applied after. Does is stay? I can go 3+ weeks between flat ironing.

Roller sets won't get a real smooth look, but it does provide body. Whenever I do roller sets I end up smoothing the roots with my flat iron. Have you tried pin curls? I get nice body with those. I also try not to get too sleek of a look with the flat iron since that means holding a curl will be difficult.
ETA: Roller sets don't last that long for me. Maybe a week.

@TheReelDeal: I tried pin curls once a decade ago. My hair was curled with a curling iron first and then pin curled at the salon. Now thinking back on it I didn't try it again because my hair immediately fell and I wanted curls, lots of curls. But, my hair had a nice body to it although 10 years ago my hair was thicker.
ETA: how long does pin curls last for you?
