The best short styles for fine hair
Women with fine hair often opt for full, long tresses. A better solution: Go short! Stylish short cuts can make hair look fuller and conceal thinness. Here, we’ve compiled some gorgeous options
Not every woman is blessed with a voluminous mane. No matter: There are many hairstyles that are ideal for fine hair. To keep thin hair from looking too stringy, it should not be worn too long. Shoulder length or shorter is perfect. Styling tip: For extra volume, hang your head upside down when blow drying hair. When almost dry, wrap sections around a round brush and finish blow drying – this will create fullness. Fine hair is particularly well suited to shorter styles.

The bob – arguably one of the most universally beloved styles – is a true all-rounder that can be cut and styled in many different ways. Thanks to its length, it’s also ideally suited to fine hair. The longest version of the bob, the trendy lob, ends just above the shoulders: Perfect for fine hair. A bob with feathered ends, or styled in waves, can help fine hair appear more voluminous. For more texture: After washing, knead a volume mousse through hair using fingers.

This feminine short cut is also perfectly suited to fine hair. Thanks to its short length, the lack of volume simply disappears. The pixie cut combines different lengths and can be perfectly adapted to your style. Tip: A bright blond pixie looks particularly stylish. Want the look? Let a professional help – they can lighten the hair as gently as possible.

Are you looking for a classic, elegant cut for your fine hair? Then a pageboy with bangs may be for you. The bangs should end around an inch above the eyebrows, with the lengths slightly shorter than chin length. Important: This cut should be precise and blunt! Only then is its full stylish potential achieved. Tip: The pageboy will look at its most French (think: Amelie!) with the ends slightly curled under. To achieve this look, dry ends using a round brush, and set with hairspray.

A combination of fine hair and curls is not always easy to style. Fact: Curly fine hair can appear even thinner than straight fine hair. A perfect solution is a short layered cut, which will bring movement to the curls. To make hair appear as full as possible, layers should not be too short, and should begin around ear height. Tip: After washing, create a side part and work volumizing mousse through lengths. Either blow dry upside down, or allow hair to dry naturally. Be sparing with styling products such as wax or gel in order not to weigh down curls.

Want a trendy, edgy look for your fine hair? How about a cool sidecut? One great thing about his look: it also works with wavy hair. The sidecut is distinguished by its asymmetrical shape. One side is trimmed – even shaved – very short, while the other remains long. A side part on the shorn side allows the longer top hair to be styled to reveal the shortest area. The result is a young look which will impart fresh style to fine-haired heads.

If a sidecut takes courage, then this is next level: Shaved hair. But bravery will be rewarded. The buzz cut is the hottest short haircut of the year. No wonder! It looks super stylish, and is super easy to style. Fine hair is not an issue for this hair style, because at these lengths, no one will ever know! This short haircut is especially good for women with soft facial features. These are beautifully brought to center stage by this cut, which despite its brevity can still look very feminine (think: Sinéad O’Connor).
