 For your fine hair, short hair is definitely best. 

It won’t only add texture and volume to your hair, but also your own personality. Here are the best haircuts for fine hair, according to my experience:

 

Pixie cut for fine hair

bangs

Undoubtedly, the pixie is a very risky cut! However, whether you have little or a lot of hair, it’ll be ideal for fine hair.

Why do I say that?

 

You can get out of the shower, tease your roots and that’s it!  Volume and style in a minute. 

If you want, you can add a short fringe. I love it!

The bob is one of the most popular haircuts in the world, because it’s suitable for all styles. You can have straight, wavy, or curly hair, and it’s perfect for anyone.

It’s one of my favorites. Do you know why?

 

I always struggled   with my straight hair.  It’s thin and it always looks the same. One day, I discovered this cut and it was my salvation!

I wouldn’t change it for anything!

 

Short and straight hair: simplicity and elegance

Cut your hair straight and always keep it above your shoulders. Cut your hair straight and always keep it above your shoulders.  This cut is ideal if you have fine hair.

I advise you not to go past shoulder length because it could cause the opposite effect to the one you want to achieve.

 

Short bob cut: a classic that never goes out of style and is ideal if you have fine hair

The hair is at jaw level with full layers. It creates the feeling of texture and volume.

This classic cut is a favorite of actors and models of all time.

 

Layered cut: an excellent idea to add volume

needs little styling time

If you have thinning hair, a layered cut will help to add texture and density to your mane. But be careful:  when your hair is thin, the layers shouldn’t overlap each other. Otherwise, you’ll create the opposite effect. 

With this option, you can choose your hair length. You can also add some waves!

 

Bangs for your fine hair

I love bangs: they frame and change your features. You have to choose your bangs according to your features.

 If your face is long, the bangs shouldn’t go past your jaw. 

If your face is round, opt for longer bangs.

For fine hair, open bangs or short but low-length bangs are excellent options.

 

Cutting isn’t everything: techniques and products to add volume to fine hair

  • Highlights: : Highlights add depth to your mane as well as a unique touch. This is a very good solution for fine hair because  the color of the highlights will give that visual effect of volume. 

Get a great haircut and you’ll look amazing! Highlights are on trend, take advantage of it.

 

  • Fantasy colors: they’re trendy and special.  Playing with colors gives that effect of density in the hair. It’ll make all the difference.

You can see here some fantasy colors for cold skin and warm skin.

 

  • The hairstyle: The hairstyle is very important when we talk about fine hair and especially if you have little quantity.

Whichever cut you choose, blow-drying is essential when it comes to achieving volume.

 If you chose layers, blow dry it with the head down and give it lots of movement.  If you chose a short bob cut, always comb it inside out.

 

  • Texturizers and sprays: Texturizers are a good option if you have a special day. But I don’t advise you to use hairspray daily because it dries out the hair.
