Dry Shampoo
Batiste Dry Shampoo, $6.99 at Amazon
Dry shampooing roots is a stylist's best-kept secret. While too much dry shampoo can lead to a flat mess, applying a little on your roots can create instant volume, especially if you have fine hair. Start spraying from your roots and work your way down, then use a blowdryer and some texturizing spray for an all-day lift. 
Layer Locks
Layering your hair can give the illusion of volume, especially if you have wavy hair. This works on longer and shorter hair lengths. Take the upper portion of your hair and tie it in a knot. You can then amp up the rest of your length with the help of a hair mist or a curl-defining serum.
