How should I prepare my hair?

I am going with a half up/half down style. My hair is a little thin to begin with but not horribly thin. I am worried about my hair holding. I already chopped off the split ends (my hair is long). Any other suggestions? TIA!!

Don't wash it the day of. 'Dirty' hair is much fuller and easier to work with!

Use a volumizing shampoo.

Don't use conditioner the day before-it weighs the hair down and makes it slippery.

I think styles hold better when hair isn't washed. My sister did my hair and I had washed it the day before - not day of. It held alot better than when she first did a trial on my clean hair. She also said it was easier to work with.
