Hairstyles for Thinning Hair: 25 Ideas to Make Your Locks Look Fuller and Thicker

Giving fine hair blunt ends will only look good if there is no thinning around temples or forehead. Otherwise there is too much contrast between volume at ends and lack of volume at roots ( sparse bangs).. If you leave your hair to taper slightly it will not accentuate the thinner roots and be balanced ..I always read this recommendation to give fine hair blunt ends to create volume but it depends on the person and their level of thinning at the roots.

Anyone with fine hair knows the struggle of finding hairstyles that don't flatten out. "Thin or fine hair can always be a challenge when it comes to creating a fabulous style, but there a few looks that actually work better if you have fine, thinning hair," says Cris Baadsgaard, Colour Collective Salon partner and Scene Salon owner.

One of the simplest, low-maintenance hairstyles for thin hair is the pixie cut. "The cut is meant to sit close to the head, and if styled correctly, it really showcases the eyes and camouflages the look of thinning hair with long layers," Baadsgaard says. "The pixie can be utilized to create a lot of texture which allows you to place the hair in zones where you may be experiencing hair loss. The texture and movement is great for creating an impression of fullness," Rivera adds.

Sometimes, years of parting your hair in the same direction can cause hair stress and results in thinning. A deep side-part not only hides thinning, but this hairstyle helps create volume and fullness around the face, Rivera says. "For instance, if you are experiencing thinning on the top of the scalp, a deep side part can act to hide it," she says. For added body at the roots, try a root spray.

The wavy lob has two big benefits: It's short enough that it'll never weigh you down, and the beachy texture provides an appearance of thickness. If you have naturally thin hair or are thinning, having longer strands actually accentuates your thinning, rather than camouflaging it, Rivera says. "Thinning hair people actually have more hair present towards the root/mid-lengths area and, the longer the length, the thinner it appears," she says. "The messy lob accentuates the shape of the face and looks full from roots to ends."

To create this look, wash and towel dry your hair. To start, use a texturizing spray throughout your hair to add lasting density, volume, and texture. Depending on your hair's natural curl, either use your hands to scrunch your hair while it's wet, or create beachy waves with a curling wand when it's dry. Gently use your fingers to mess up the curls, and finish with hairspray.

Though Russo says thin hair can be tricky to braid, some gripping powder like Big Sexy Hair's Powder Play can be worked into a pretty style. "The trick is to first blow the hair out with a mousse, then apply the gripping powder to the roots and through the mid lengths of the hair," she says. "Then, braid the hair with medium to loose tension, pulling apart the loops of the braid after you've tried it off to add thickness."

Creating a voluminous ponytail is an easy way to style fine hair so that it appears thicker. For a teased ponytail, make sure your hair is dry. Then, hold up the top layer of your hair (which falls in line with your eyebrows) and use a fine-tooth comb to tease it. The process of teasing your hair is basically the exact opposite of how you'd usually brush it: Hold the comb beneath your hair and brush it toward your scalp, in order to make volumizing knots. Once the top of your head is teased, pull your hair back into a high ponytail. With your elastic tightly secured, tug thick sections of hair a centimeter out of its grip. The result will be a full ponytail that creates the illusion of thick hair. To finish, spray a hair spray like Aveda Control Force all over your up-do to secure it into place.

A collar-length cut with short, piecey layers can add volume and camouflage thinness, Russo says. "This style creates the illusion of both height and width that may be missing in thinning hair, and blows out into an elegant shape," she says. "It has the added benefit of bringing the facial features upward which is flattering at any age!"

Try wispy front layers if you want to keep your hair long. Have your hairstylist cut front layers that start from the bottom of your chin and cascade down. These layers will nicely frame your face, add texture, and can be styled for greater volume. Just keep in mind that the back of your hair should be cut in a straight line, as back layers tend to get scraggly and appear thin. And with longer fine hair, be sure to always use a thickening spray, which gives life to thin hair, making it look and feel much fuller.

But, with the right hairstyle and product line-up, you can create volume-boosting looks that even girls with the fullest and thickest hair would be jealous of!

A shoulder-length sliced bob with wispy bangs is versatile and easygoing. The slicing will create texture and movement to otherwise limp hair. Wispy bangs are the perfect accessory to a nice bob to show off your eyes and cheekbones. Be sure to get advice on how to style at home from your stylist. I suggest using volumizing products and rough drying your hair, and finishing with a little round brush action to hold the shape and add shine.

Consider textured ends and full fringe if you want to add some life to your mid-length hair! Your hair will look flawless in a high bun or worn straight. If you like versatility then you have found the right hairstyle.

Textured haircuts are something I suggest to clients if you have fine hair but still want movement. This haircut is so versatile and looks good styled both curled and straight. If you want to try a trendy way to style your new cut, twist your hair, pull back, and secure hair with pins for a low-effort, chic look.

The wolf shag with a micro fringe is a cute and edgy haircut that is great if your hair is on the fine side. The piecey micro fringe and feathered sides frame your face beautifully, putting an accent on your eyes and cheekbones. When styling, add some dry shampoo powder like Redken and comb through with your fingers.

A middle part and sleek subtle layers are great for an easy-going yet stylish look. Hair parted in the middle is great for all hair types and face shapes. If your hair is thin, it will give you the illusion of more hair on each side. If thick, it will give you a more even and uniform shape. The sleek, subtle layering along with the middle part will create a thinning effect on your face and a nice shape overall.

We love some soft wavy shaggy layers with a face frame. This is a classic look with a subtle nod to the trendy shag. The short wavy layering creates a shape that is unique to your face structure. If you will be using hot tools to curl your hair, be sure to use a nourishing and hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Styling will be minimal, as a typical shag is styled air-dried and add a few big curls, finish with a texture spray.

A side part shoulder-length cut with balayage is a great low-maintenance yet sophisticated look. Cutting fine, thin hair to a shoulder length will take weight away and give your hair much-needed volume. If you want a more elegant look, part your hair on the side and add some waves curled all in the same direction. The balayage coloring leaves your natural hair at the roots and is painted lighter from the mids to ends to give the illusion of a natural blonde. The balayage is low-maintenance as the roots can grow out smoothly with no line of growth.

Try something fun with a disconnected shag cut with curtain bangs. One of the best haircuts for thin hair is a short shag with bangs to frame your face. Your stylist can adjust the cut to suit your face shape and add fullness and volume. Use a leave-in volumizing cream or spray before blow drying. Style with a curling iron or wand, let cool and then run your fingers through your hair finishing with a texture spray.

Give your long locks a chop with a classic chin-length bob with long side bangs. Long hair can be aging and can drag your face down. Women with thin hair should not have super long locks because it will give the appearance of flatter, thinner hair. When the length is released it will give the optical illusion of fuller-looking strands. Add a side bang for extra lift and body.

The white-blonde pixie crop with piecey layers gives off the quintessential cool-girl chic vibe. The pixie crop may be the right haircut for you if you have thin, fine hair and have trouble getting volume. The piecey layering gives movement to thinner hair without taking away from volume and overall look of thickness. Styling will be minimal, blow dry across the shape of your head with a flat brush, then finish with a texture cream or spray.

If you lack thickness, a soft disheveled pixie with a deep side part will give you an effortlessly elegant, flirty-looking style. How deep the side part is will mostly be dependent on the growth patterns of your hair. Sometimes, a cowlick can help give you a nice voluminous part. The messy texture will make your hair look thicker and give off a younger-looking version of a pixie. Styling will be minimal, use a blow dryer and your hands to put it into place, and finish with a pomade or texture paste.

A grey pixie bob with silver highlights is the classic look to let your hair go natural and still look incredibly chic. Letting your hair go grey can be a big change, but a very freeing feeling, and what better time than now when silver hair is all the rage? A short bob will help your thin hair with natural volume in the way the layers are cut to enhance and shape volume around the curvature of your head. Styling will be minimal, using a volumizing mousse and a round brush for extra volume and hold.

Medium permed hair with curtain bangs gives the illusion of thicker-looking hair. The perm will not only add volume but help with the hold of the style. Lots of layers and textures create movement and add dimension to otherwise flat, dull hair. Using a curl cream and a diffuser to blow dry and incorporating a small round brush to style the curtain bangs will leave you with minimal effort, yet gorgeous results. 2ff7e9595c
