Your scrunchie may slide right through fine hair because it's so silky and smooth. However, it can also make you feel heavy, lifeless, and skinny. If your hair is naturally thin, you'll need to trim it more frequently in order to maintain its structure and promote more bounce. No amount hair curling or shaping will give it the desired voluminous look if the technique is incorrect. What therefore should you do to pretend that your hair is fuller? We consulted the pros to compile a list of the top cuts and hairstyles that give flat hair volume. There are numerous styles to choose from for fuller, thicker hair, including lobs and bobs as well as buns and braids.
Bixie:
A wonderful method to ramp up the layers and add drama to otherwise flat hair is to copy Ciara's bixie cut. A bixie, which combines the elements of a pixie and a bob, adds movement and texture, making it ideal for finer hair types.
Texturized Pixie:
"The ultimate confidence cut when it comes to thin hair," according to Vaccaro, is a pixie. "This is my favorite style to do on thin hair because it instantly changes the texture of your hair." Any texture, from straight to curly, can pull off this style." Zoë Kravitz goes for a messy pixie in this instance.
One-Length:
One-length strands by Elizabeth Olsen are stylish and easy to wear. Even better, when there isn't too much weight on the ends, the hair appears fuller. "The more solid the shape for thinning hair, the better," Mohapi states. "The one thing we should attempt to maintain is layers, as they will take weight off of the ends. The greatest effects will be produced by one-length forms and volumizing products
Wavy Bob:
Wavy hair can be styled long or short, but Emma Stone's chop, as shown above, is our favourite. "What you’ll notice about these celebs is that most opt for mid-length to short hairstyles, giving the illusion of fuller thicker hair," Vaccaro states. For more texture, use a product like Kristin Ess Dry Finish Working Texture Spray.
Short Pixie with Baby Bangs:
Although there are a lot of quick fixes out there, we adore Keke Palmer's '90s, baby bang style. According to Mohapi, "the shorter the better, often with thin hair." "Short hair allows for thickest part of the hair (the roots) to participate in the final result."
Face-Framing Layers:
Framing the face with layers can also give the look of more hair. To keep thin hair from falling flat, give it movement and body with light layering. "Some face framing or bangs can also be a great way to add dimension and interest," Mohapi says of Felicity Jones's layers. Keep the layers long towards the back of the hair, moving them closer to the face in the front.
Chin-Grazing Bob:
A wavy, ruffled bob draws attention to texture and movement. This short hairstyle is simple to tousle and add volume to because of its light layers and feathery ends. Jourdan Dunn's oval face looks stunning with the chin-grazing length, but if your face is rounder or more heart-shaped, you might want to leave a little extra length on it to make it appear longer. Seb bag suggests using a non-drying, long-lasting style product to ramp up the volume even further. Moroccanoil Volumizing Mist is our favourite.
Voluminous Curls:
Zendaya's U-shaped, mid-length hairstyle enhances her textured locks in every aspect. Knowing your curl type will help you appropriately address your hair's demands and use products that will promote healthy growth when styling curls.
Wavy Lob:
Thanks to her textured, free waves that fall just below her collarbone, Eiza Gonzalez's hair appears inches longer. "Celebs tend to style with loose waves, which helps make hair look thicker and fuller," states Vaccaro.
Light Layers:
Margot Robbie has a stylish, vintage atmosphere with her sleek, wavy hairstyle. You can ask your hairstylist to add some texture to the ends of your hair if you favour lengthy strands and want body and volume. Consider using light layers that won't drastically reduce volume. Seb bag chooses a mousse as his product, stating that it should be "applied in damp hair prior to styling to help boost the volume of your hair."
Asymmetrical Bob:
The asymmetrical bob of Kate Mara, with its subtle side part, is quite in style. We recommend using a matte finish product, such R+Co. Mannequin Styling Paste, for styling. Additionally, consider a deeper side flip if you want even more lift at the roots.
Curly Pixie:
A very short yet curly pixie cut, like Ruth Negga's above, will give your thin hair body and form. To style, just define and moisturize curls with a small amount of Vernon François Hair Styling Cream. Curls will make the transition easier if and when you decide to grow out your pixie cut.
