There is nothing wrong with having fine or thin hair, but when you’re trying to put your hair up on a ponytail or you want a statement hairdo that really stands out, giving your hair some volume can make a big difference. Achieving that big sexy hair look or even something that’s medium volume for you to go to work with is not always easy. If you’re dealing with thin hair, there are plenty of ways that you can boost your fine hair into something bigger.
You want to create the illusion of raw, more robustness in your hair, and finding that volume is going to be easier for you when you have the tips that we’ve got below.
- Give it a cut. You may not think so, but cutting your hair can actually add more volume. The best haircuts for fine hair are usually the shorter styles because you can add volume and movement in one. Sure, adding hair extensions is a great idea, but we will come to that later on. You want to keep things above the collarbone for some volume, so Pixie cuts, long bobs, and one length haircuts that have enough internal texture can give you that illusion of thicker hair and offer a fuller look.
- Avoid styles that lack shape. You want to find a hairstyle that contours your face, and you don’t want one that’s going to weigh down your fine hair. Remember, you’re looking to add volume, not make it appear flatter. If you want to add more inches, there are plenty of ways that you can make them work. And generally long hair should always be avoided because the ends can look sparse. The only time that it shouldn’t be avoided is if you’re planning to use lusciously long extensions.
- Be creative with the extensions that you choose. There are different extensions that you can install into your hair, but you don’t need to have hair that’s down to your bum for it to be voluminous. Find a pro to install extensions in your hair that can give you more volume, not just length. You can have hair that’s just past your shoulders in extensions, or you can use a hair Halo to add some volume to it.
- Layer your hair strategically. Conventional knowledge has always held that slight strands should be avoided. You want to layer your hair and be conservative at the same time. Layers are a great option for flat or fine hair, but if you don’t wash it or use the right product, even the layers can lay quite flat. Avoid cuts that are overly layered because it doesn’t add enough density to support them. Opt for something that’s subtle, that frames your face and has a blunt finish through the back.
- Consider adding highlights. Sometimes it’s the colour that can be the illusion. Highlights can add volume into your hair where you wouldn’t have found it before. With the right highlights, you can ensure that your hair stands out for all of the right reasons.
