No matter their age or stage of life, your clients can achieve fuller tresses through proper haircuts. We asked stylists for their top advice for thickening fine strands.
Voluminous Bob
The layered short bob haircut is chic and feminine, making thin hair appear full and volumized. This trend works exceptionally well on women with thick black locks; however, other natural hair shades may also adapt quickly.
If you’re searching for an easy and flattering haircut, consider this voluminous bob with a side part. Its stacked layers and stunning blend of warm and cool blonde tones add texture and dimension to its full, voluminous texture. This wavy bob is an outstanding example of how choppy cuts can add size and texture to thin locks. Fun and flirty, it can easily be spiced with texturizing spray and a glossy hue.
Layered Cut
People fearing their super-short crop will turn them into cotton earbuds often choose not to get one; however, this cut works excellently with most thin hair textures, when styled layered. It frames the face, highlights features, and adds texture for a fuller mane when done well.
Medium-length strands benefit greatly from layer cuts as they can easily be styled into sleek or low-side ponytails with bangs. Ask your stylist to incorporate romantically framing layers for the ideal romantic finish.
Fine and medium hair often lack volume naturally, but they can appear thicker with the proper haircut and volumizing products.
Long Feathered Lob
Alternatively, for added volume, try opting for a feathered cut with soft, wavy layers that move away from your face – this chic shoulder-length style will frame your face beautifully while keeping styling at a minimum.
Make a statement with a vibrant blonde feathered lob, expertly layered to add dimension and definition. This high-contrast coloring technique will give your strands more meaning.
The lob is an adaptable hairstyle that suits all textures but particularly well on straight strands as it gives them fuller volume. This layered version includes short money pieces to provide an effortless, unkempt style you can style in minutes.
Medium Length Haircut
Although no photo filter can turn fine strands into a full mane, the right haircut can help your locks appear thicker and more volumized. We consulted top stylists on which shoulder-length haircuts for thin hair will best enhance its volume while making you appear chic and sophisticated.
This textured blunt lob is achieved through subtle layering that preserves your natural density, while face-framing bangs provide an illusion of thickness.
Olivia Munn’s collarbone-length inverted bob is flattering on any face shape and even more so when worn with blonde balayage highlights. Its easy maintenance requires only regular trims to prevent damage and promote growth.
Shaggy Shoulder Length Haircut
Add layers and use light styling balms such as Oyin Handmade Burnt Sugar Pomade ($14) for thin hair, making it appear fuller and healthier. A product like this defines your cut without becoming too heavy, creating volume in light locks.
Try a pixie crop to give your locks more volume and frame your face more effectively. Layered pixies or bobs with bangs also offer additional framing benefits.
This effortless, low-maintenance style will leave you feeling beautiful every day. Style it with a side ponytail to keep hair out of the way for an effortless everyday look, or add beach waves for a dramatic finishing touch.
Curls
Curly hair can be difficult for those with thin locks, often becoming heavy and losing volume over time. Layers, chopping, and perming techniques can achieve full, lush locks.
If you have curly locks, try opting for an extended layered cut to allow them to kink up and stand out from your mane. For delicate curls like Gwen Stefani’s, consider trying a face-framing haircut to prevent them from getting lost among your locks.
Consider finding a stylist with experience cutting curly hair if you want a beautiful and manageable style.
