Any suggestions for horribly fine and limp hair? 
I don't know about fine, but my hair definitely qualifies as limp. Your natural oils are usually the best for creating more volume, so try washing and conditioning as little as possible. I only wash my hair once every three days with a Herbal Essences shampoo, and, once a week, I use a higher-end Paul Mitchell shampoo with the line's deep conditioner. Biotin may or may not help, but it tends to take the better part of a year to start noticing a difference. As long as you can deal with drinking a little more water throughout the day, it's worth taking - I've never heard of any major side effects, but I have experienced large amounts of shedding whenever I try to up my dosage (I've been taking 5,000mcg for a few months now, occasionally trying 7,500mcg to stress-inducing results). As far as post-shower products go, mousse/cream is about the only thing that adds volume for me, but it works to glorious results. I only quit using it because I got sick of washing with a clarifying shampoo weekly.
Of course, YMMV. It's worth experimenting with different cleaning cycles when that alone helped me out greatly. I don't know if washing less frequently can cause more hair loss due to DHT, though. I barely know anything about it, only that it's my mortal enemy.
