      We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Medium is the most versatile length for hair. It’s long enough to tie back into a ponytail or bun yet short enough to style without spending too much time or effort. And for those with thin and fine hair, a medium-length hairstyle is an especially great choice. If hair grows too long, it starts to look scraggly and stringy. If cut too short, it looks sad and limp. A medium-length cut gives movement and life to thin hair while keeping any little amount of natural volume intact.\n<\/p>\n

      Below, discover some of our favorite shoulder-length hairstyles and cuts for fine hair\u2014along with expert styling advice from hair industry pros Melanie Bolton and Gretchen Friese.\n<\/p>\n

      Note that some of the haircuts below are featured on thick-haired celebrities; however, the focus should be on the logistics of the cut, which are all suited for thin hair.<\/em><\/p>\n

        While it’s good to avoid over-texturizing hair with lots of layers in order to maintain and amplify fullness, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you shouldn’t have any<\/em> layers. “A shoulder-length cut with light layers will still have a blunt perimeter but will have volume and movement,” says Friese. All you need to style this look is K\u00e9rastase L’incroyable Blow-Dry Reshapable Lotion ($37) and a round brush.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Nicole Richie’s medium-length hair looks sleek and polished, thanks to big barrel waves and lots of shine\u2014we like Sachajuan Shine Serum ($36) for replicating the latter. Richie is proof that you don’t need to fake huge volume for an elegant, red carpet\u2013worthy result.\n<\/p>\n

        And lucky for us, this look is also “very simple to achieve,” according to Bolton. “On damp hair, apply a volumizing product to the root to add lift. Next, blow-dry hair smooth with a large paddle brush, directing sections upward and drying the root from underneath to amp up the volume,” she instructs. “Finally, use a large-barrel curling iron to create loose ringlets and finish the look with an all-over spritz of dry texture spray to keep curls from releasing throughout the day.” See? Easy peasy.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        If you’ve got fine locks and a shoulder-length haircut, take a page out of Zendaya’s book. Here, her hair is softly tapered off at the ends and curled throughout. The waves add texture and movement, which can help fine hair appear fuller and healthier. The slightly tousled texture lends an undone feel, making it the ultimate cool-girl look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Lily Collins emits youthful, beachy vibes with her hair’s lived-in texture. Her beach waves are ideal for those with limp strands since they work to lift and undulate hair, creating the illusion of extra body. That red lipstick and those bold brows don’t hurt, either.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        While normal layers can have the effect of making hair look thinner\u2014a definite no-no for those of us with already-thin strands\u2014interior or invisible layers work to create texture and fullness. And according to Friese, they’re also a great option for the person who wants to keep their hair on the longer side. “Because short hair supports long hair, adding shorter pieces under the overlaying longer pieces will create a lot of volume,” she says. “I recommend blow-drying with the BosleyMD\u00a0Style+ Blow Dry & Styling Gel\u00a0($19) and a round brush to achieve volume.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        The secret to Elle Fanning’s bouncy hair seems to be the softly curled ends, which keep any indication of limpness out of the picture. Use a 1.5-inch curling iron, like T3 Voluminous Curls 1.5″ Clip Barrel ($100), to get that soft, seamless wave. We also suggest washing strands with charcoal shampoo\u2014our under-the-radar secret for clean, bouncy hair.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        While those with fine strands should avoid a layer-heavy cut, there is another type of layered-look that can work for you, and it is one that we highly encourage. Ciara shows us how incorporating long layers with a slight wave gives the appearance of extra volume, density, and not to mention, romance. Feathery tapered ends also help breathe movement and bounce into her mane.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        If you have fine hair and you avoid traditional bangs for fear they’ll make your hair look sparse, Emma Watson’s baby bangs might be the answer. Taking a highly textured, razored approach, the short feathered strands are eye-catching and not stringy in the slightest.\n<\/p>\n

        “It is important to apply a touch of medium-hold texture cream on damp hair at the fringe for control and to directionally blow-dry this section from roots downwards, using fingers to separate,” says Bolton. “Once the fringe is dry, you can move onto styling lengths. Finish with a spritz of hairspray (Bumble and bumble Spray de Mode Flexible Hold Hairspray, $32) all over, to lock in your look.” Just know this fringe requires regular maintenance by the pros, so if you’re not committed, we suggest passing on this style.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Jessica Alba’s collar-bone grazing hair looks healthy and full styled straight and tucked in. “There is nothing more elegant than a great medium-length cut to maximize volume, texture, and style,” says Bolton. Flipping ends inward is a simple, yet effective, trick in making hair appear to have more body. Complete the look with a statement headband.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        January Jones shows us how to add bangs to a shoulder-length hairstyle. According to Bolton, “[it] is the perfect alternative for fine hair, as it has enough length to keep from becoming stringy and enough texture to keep from falling flat.” The bangs are long and wispy, blending into the rest of her wavy hair perfectly. Although bangs can sometimes make fine hair look even finer, you can avoid the stringy look by styling them with a texture spray like Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray ($30). “This fringe has a stand-alone style, which allows versatility in how you choose to wear your lengths,” she adds.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Yes, Doutzen Kroes’s hair looks majorly volumized here, but as fine-haired girls know, sometimes a little volumizing spray or hair-heightening dry shampoo works wonders on second-day strands. We love OGX’s Bodifying + Fiber Full Body Renew Dry Shampoo ($12), which literally boosts hair before our very eyes. Nonetheless, her long layers build upon each other, making the mid-lengths of her hair look majorly dense.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Those with fine hair need not avoid bangs for fear that they will make strands appear stringy. In fact, the right kind of bang can make the hair appear thicker than it actually is and look super trendy while at it.\n<\/p>\n

        “If the hair is thick enough in the front, a deep, thick fringe is a nice way to bring the focus forward to a thicker section of the hair,” says Friese. “Being cut above the eyes will help those beautiful peepers stand out. I recommend using the BosleyMD Volumizing and Thickening Styling Mousse ($9) on wet bangs and blow-drying with a flat brush from side to side and then down to create that full blunt look.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Selena Gomez pins her long-layered shoulder-length ‘do to the side for a retro feel (the polka-dots and green shadow also lend a hand). “Any cut with a blunt perimeter will create the illusion of thicker hair than a cut with more texturized or feathered ends,” says Friese.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Is there anyone more qualified to wear this ’70s shag haircut than Georgia May Jagger? We don’t think so. Her waterfall layers add extra body to this medium-length hairstyle, especially when they’re curled back.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

        “For fine hair, this look is about encouraging volume and gentle texture at every step,” comments Bolton. “On damp hair, apply a volumizing product like Flow’s Boundless Body Plumping Lotion ($22) to the root to add lift and a medium-hold texture cream (such as Verb’s Sea Texture Cream, $25) through the lengths for definition. Create a center part and dry hair upside-down to 75 percent, flipping the hair upright to dry completely. Finally, using a flat iron, twist layers from mid-shaft down to create a slight flip at the fringe and gentle waves throughout.”\n<\/p>\n

        \n

        The key to styling this look is to keep it unstructured and textured, notes Bolton. Use your fingers to tousle at the root throughout wear rather than brushing or combing, which will cause fine hair to lose texture and flatten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Cara Delevingne is one of our go-to sources of hair inspo because she never disappoints. And while many of her best hair moments could be described as bold and daring, this cut is simple but still makes a statement. Blunt-razored ends flatter by making strands look thick and dense, which is something those with fine hair often seek. The alternating back-and-forth wave lends dimension and movement.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Emmanuelle Chriqui’s shoulder-length haircut looks stylish without trying too hard. “A medium-length cut can help give fine hair the illusion of length and dimension while reducing styling time and providing longer-lasting volume,” says Bolton. “The trick to keeping medium-length fine hair looking its best is to keep the style simplistic and supported by the right lightweight products.”\n<\/p>\n

        We suggest setting this style with R+Co Vicious Strong Hold Flexible Hairspray ($32) after curling hair outward for a more tousled look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Margot Robbie’s blunt lob goes from polished to rock ‘n’ roll depending on the red carpet she’s walking. Even still, it never looks thin or scraggly, and we’re thinking that has to do with her blunt cut, which makes ends appear thicker. Scissored ends showcase texture and the versatility of this style, which can be worn modern and edgy.\n<\/p>\n

        Recreating this look is simple. All it takes is working a little volumizing product through damp hair, according to Bolton. After air-drying, apply a texture spray on dry hair, scrunching throughout, and finish with a spritz of hair spray.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Parting your hair deep on one side can give the appearance of more volume\u2014particularly if you tease your hair at the root before combing the top down. “Especially when the hair on one side of the head is more sparse than the other, a side part is a great option,” says Friese. “When the hair on the thicker side is parted to the thinner side, it will fill that side in a bit to create balance and thicker-looking hair.” Ouai’s Volume Spray ($26) is great for keeping that one side parted.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Keke Palmer’s blunt bob gets the retro treatment with the flipped ends and side part clipped back with a jeweled hair clip. To copy her look, blow dry your hair with a round brush and flip the ends up. Use a wide barrel curling iron as needed to give those flipped-up ends a little more staying power. Finish off your ’60s glam look with a touch of hair spray.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Miley Cyrus’ wavy shag is a modern and fun way to give your thin locks some volume. Unlike the retro shags with the longer bangs, Cyrus keeps her bangs a shorter fringe and plays up her natural curly texture to make her hair look thicker. Keeping your roots a little darker than the rest of your hair is another trick to give your hair more dimension and to fake fullness.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Olivia Munn’s lob haircut has minimal layers, baby caramel highlights, and lots of shine. All of these factors help to give thin hair the illusion of fullness. Her sleek and shiny style is easy to pull off, too. To copy her look, work in a straightening balm such as Bumble & bumble’s Straight Blow Dry ($32) while hair is still wet, and dry with a paddle brush to smooth hair.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Bobs are versatile because you can wear them straight, curly, or flipped at the ends, as seen on Reese Witherspoon. Spray in some of the Bondi Boost Heat Protectant Spray ($20) to protect hair from damage. Blow dry hair with a round brush and flip the ends up, followed by a curling iron at the ends to reinforce the flip. Part your hair on the side and tuck it behind your ear for the perfect party-ready look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        The face-framing layers on Billy Eilish’s straight shag are minimal enough to keep her hair looking thick while also giving her look some movement. (This haircut can also be styled wavy, as seen on Miley Cyrus.) While a shine serum can help keep you sleek, those with fine hair need to make sure they use a lightweight product sparingly. One great option for those with fine hair is Oribe’s Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray ($44).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Slightly darker roots will also help pump up the volume of your hair. “A great way to give the illusion of dimension is to create a gentle shadow root effect,” notes Bolton. She recommends working with your colorist to get the look. Here, Sydney Sweeney’s buttery brown roots melt seamlessly into golden ends.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Bolton gave us the 411 on nailing face-framing fringe: “To style, apply a volumizing product to damp hair at the roots,” she tells us. “Blow-dry the fringe directionally, focusing airflow from the roots downward and using your fingers to tousle. Finish by styling lengths into the desired look and applying dry texture spray to the fringe to provide lasting separation and control.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        An all-one-length medium haircut is a great, versatile option for thin hair. “It can be worn straight and sleek as well as wavy and tousled, which is very popular right now,” says Friese.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        For the risk-takers among us, a Y2K-inspired zig-zag part is a sneaky (and on-trend) way to fake a little volume. “The best parts for fine hair are very finely zig-zagged, so you don\u2019t see a lot of your scalp at the part,” hairstylist Devin Toth told us.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        FAQ<\/div>\n
          \n
        • \n
          Is thin hair better layered or one length?<\/span><\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          \n

          Subtle or light layers are best for thin hair, as too many layers can make\u00a0your hair appear thinner. Subtle layers, however, can help give the illusion of fullness. You can also get interior layers to help volumize thin hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n
          What medium haircut is best for thin hair with a round face?<\/span><\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          \n

          In general, a medium-length haircut is flattering on almost every face shape\u2013 including those with round faces. Curtain bangs and side parts are especially flattering. Add lots of volume to your crown with dry shampoo if for a slimming effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n
          What medium length haircut is the most low maintenance?<\/span><\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          \n

          For a low-maintenance hairstyle, it’s best to work with your natural texture, not against it. For example, if your hair is naturally curly, talk to your stylist about cutting it in a way that works with that texture so you don\u2019t have to use a flat iron or hair dryer\u00a0every day. Hairstyles with short bangs will also require more maintenance than those with longer bangs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
