What’s Your Best Hair Style if You Have Fine, Thin Hair?

Make fine, thin hair look more voluminous with these hairstyles!

What’s your best hair styles when you have fine, thin hair? If you have baby fine hair or thin hair your best hair styles will be those that work specifically with your hair type or texture. That sounds pretty obvious right? But, the truth of it is, not all hairdressers become skilled at cutting fine hair and thin hair.
Do what it takes and find yourself a great hairstylist; that hairdresser will be worth their weight in gold! Best way to find a great hairdresser is to spot a hair style you love on someone with your hair type and ask them who cuts their hair. Women are flattered that you’ve asked. No doubt you’ve experienced a haircut or two that catapulted you into more than one ‘bad hair day!’  It’s the nature of your hair type to show every blunder, or to just lay flat when it’s not cut right. Unfortunately there’s no place to hide mistakes in fine hair and thin hair, so do some leg-work to find the right hairdresser.
What’s your best hair style for fine, thin hair? To give body to flat hair, a layered haircut is almost always needed. The exception might be a short bob haircut just off the shoulder, like Gwyneth Paltrow above, if you have enough hair. Layering the hair with a graduating technique can make fine hair look thicker, giving it more volume. Soft layering through the top will help hair to pop up off the scalp and angling layers in asymmetrical cuts can build volume. Tapering ends with a razor may also make the hair look fuller.
Of course your face shape needs to be taken into consideration, but equally or maybe even more important is a hair style that will work with your hair’s natural texture instead of fighting it.
Here are some surefire haircuts for fine thin hair.

Too much hair product is the kiss-of-death for fine hair and thin hair. Less is better than more when it comes to using product on your hair. Stay away from hair conditioners and other products that will weigh down the hair. Fine, thin hair usually looks its best when shampooed daily with the appropriate shampoo. Look for a daily shampoo or a volumizing shampoo that will leave your hair ‘squeaky clean.’ The cleaner your hair, the more body it will have.
There are countless products and styling tricks that promise to make fine, thin hair look more voluminous, but the best way to build volume into fine hair or thin hair is with a great haircut!
