We’re doing away with the notion of playing it safe when it comes to our hair. Long gone are the days when having fine or thinning hair meant sticking to a dated style playlist we never subscribed to. As a matter of fact, having thick tresses is not a prerequisite for experimenting with a plethora of coifs be it a bouncy blowout, sleek and straight strands, or maybe a high ponytail. We repeat: If your hair is on the thinner end of the spectrum, there are actually lots of ways to style and cut it that will create the illusion of greater fullness and density. So, we went to professional hairstylists Feisal Qureshi, Gretchen Friese, Abii Raji, and Rogerio Cavalacante for their top tips on how to make thin hair look healthy and full.\n<\/p>\n

While some of these A-list inspirations may have fuller heads of hair, the styles that they’re sporting will help make your own hair look thicker and more voluminous. Scroll through to see the official Byrdie guide to the best styles for thin hair.\n<\/p>\n

    While the heated debate between middle vs. side parts continues amongst millennials and Gen-Z folks, we’ve got a hot insider tip. Zig-zag parts are actually the most effective at creating a fuller look in fine strands. Pair it with any updo, like Bella Hadid’s spikey coif, or wear your hair down \u00e1 la Rachel Green for a nostalgic feel.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    It’s the hairstyle that keeps making a comeback: flipped-out ends. Made popular in the ’60s and coming back in style in the ’90s, this retro ‘do makes otherwise fine hair that falls limp appear thicker. To achieve, use a blow-dry brush and make sure to do a flipping motion away from the face once you reach the ends.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Although some people may think that longer locks will give the appearance of having more hair, it’s actually short hair that gives the illusion of fullness. Cavalcante says that a short\u00a0hairstyle\u00a0can give the\u00a0hair\u00a0volume and make your morning routine a snap. “Just wash it, add some mousse, and you’re all set.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Sometimes, the move with thin hair is to slick it back. Take Laura Harrier’s ballerina-esque bun with thin, razored bangs. Here, the bun is a classic (just pull hair back into a ponytail and pin the ends around the elastic) but the bangs add some oomph.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    No matter the hair type, long locks have the tendency to weigh the hair down, but this is especially true for those whose hair falls on the thinner side. “Typically, very long lengths will lack volume and that includes your layered lengths,” says Qureshi.\u00a0“I recommend making the hair and layers proportionate with each other and not too long overall.” If you’re going for a shoulder-length cut, opt for blunt ends, as this can make your hair appear thicker.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Shorter hair is oftentimes stronger than longer strands, so even very fine hair can benefit from a super-short crop. Pixie cuts can actually make your thin hair appear thicker than it really is. Try one with choppy layers to add volume, and work in a light styling balm or paste to give your cut definition without weighing it down.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    With a deep side part, you\u2019re essentially gathering all of the hair together on one side, which creates the illusion of volume. Friese, explains: “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.” Add a few bends to the front pieces for added texture and create lift at the roots with a styling powder.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Victoria Beckham has had some iconic hair moments, and her angled bob is no exception. “The [angled] bob is best done on thinner hair textures, as thin hair typically shows off straight lines really well and this lends to emphasizing the cut\u2019s beautiful geometry,” says Qureshi.\u00a0“Once that cut and shape has been achieved, the bob becomes very easy to style, maintain, and grow out with thinner textures.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The ever-flattering lob works on any hair type, especially thin hair because it frames your face without weighing you down.

    Side-swept bangs can look thicker if cut right.

    A slicked-back ‘do is versatile\u2014it can look polished and sophisticated or be the epitome of chic.

    Whatever your style may be, incorporating bangs can be a major volume boost. Just make sure your fringe is thick and blunt. “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,” comments Friese.\n<\/p>\n

    One surefire way to hide the thickness of your hair? Rock a buzz cut. Though it requires more upkeep (to keep it short and clean), it’s the ultimate low-maintenance look in terms of styling.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The shag has the ability to revive limp hair while still giving off a cool-girl vibe. Essentially, the cut can be described as having lots of razored texture, movement, and volume via long layers and bangs, making it ideal for those with thin strands. To fake the fullness, style with layers and an ombr\u00e9 color to add body and dimension.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    “For most people, beach waves are achieved through a wand or iron,” notes Qureshi.\u00a0“For those with thin hair, it’s especially important to use a heat protectant spray to shield your fragile locks from unnecessary damage.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Blunt bobs have to be one of our favorite hairdos since they look flattering on just about everyone. According to Friese, “Any cut with a blunt perimeter will create the illusion of thicker hair than a cut with more texturized or feathered ends. An all-one-length blunt bob (around chin length) is a great option for thin hair. It can be worn straight and sleek as well as wavy and tousled, which is very popular right now.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    While thinner hair types are notoriously known for resisting a curl, getting that voluminous retro-wavy look is<\/em> possible. Your hair is more likely to hold a curl if it doesn’t have length to weigh it down, so stay on top of frequent trims and be vigilant about using a curl-boosting spray.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    While a typical braid can accentuate a finer hair texture, a braided headband is an alternative that adds some playfulness to your look. Qureshi advises not to pull or apply too much tension near the root area, as this can lead to stress on the follicles and cause hair to not only look thinner but become thinner with time.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    A-line cuts have gotten a major upgrade. They are incredibly versatile when it comes to styling. While Jourdan Dunn opts for lots of texture, this cut also looks great with a smooth finish.

It can be worn cheek, chin, or just below the chin length.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    A hair-raising bouffant makes a statement wherever it’s worn. For a little lift, try incorporating extensions. “Be sure to create an adequate base\u2014usually by teasing\u2014to allow for your extensions to anchor,” Qureshi advises.\u00a0“Otherwise, your bouffant will collapse as soon as you start achieving height.” For a healthier tease, use a teasing brush that has boar bristles.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Ruth Negga’s short curly crop is all kinds of wonderful. “This cut is shorter in the back and on the sides and longer on top,” describes Friese. “The focus of the cut will be that longer part which will have more weight and appear thicker.” Another perk? “This style is also easy to wear. It can be blown out smooth or it can have a more piecey look by using a paste or pomade to separate the strands,” she adds.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    This laid-back hairstyle for thin hair exudes that model-off-duty vibe. To recreate, Qureshi recommends honing in on getting as much volume as possible at the root (before starting with the bun) so prep with a volumizing spray. For extra volume, Qureshi suggests teasing the ponytail before looping it around into a bun for maximum thickness.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Topknots are praised for their “I-woke-up-like-this” vibe, yet they still somehow always manage to look put together.

    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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    For a more formal updo, opt for a side chignon, which is easier to create than you’d think.

    Aside from the right cut, the right color can also lend volume to thin hair. Qureshi explains: “Thin hair is one of the few textures where color, highlights, and balayage can truly help hair look thicker and support volume. So experiment and have fun.” Ask for tight pieces at the top and thicker color at the ends of the hair\u2014this will create the illusion of a more voluminous mane.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    If a non-traditional cut\u2014that simultaneously flatters thin tresses\u2014is what you’re after, then why not consider an asymmetrical style?

This is usually done on a shorter length cut.”\n<\/p>\n

    For this look, separate hair into two sections and Dutch braid each section until you reach the bottom, securing with an elastic. Using dry shampoo will help maintain the style and revive second-day strands, allowing hair to have extra volume.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    One guaranteed way to add pizzazz to a classic pixie cut? Straighten the ends. This only works on hair that’s at least a couple of inches long, so don’t try it on anything shorter. A side part really shows off the look and the added length gives the illusion of thickness.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Boho waves are a cult-favorite style for a reason. They add tons of volume to any hair texture. For the DIY version of this style, blow-dry while hair is flipped over (and use high heat). Once it’s partially dry, use a round brush to add volume and waves while you finish blow drying.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      There’s no rule that you have to add volume to your thin hair to make it look good, but if that is what you’re attempting to achieve, then you’ll want to err on the shorter side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

      We’re doing away with the notion of playing it safe when it comes to our hair. Long gone are the days when having fine or thinning hair meant sticking to a dated style playlist we never subscribed to. As a matter of fact, having thick tresses is not a prerequisite for experimenting with a plethora of coifs be it a bouncy blowout, sleek and straight strands, or maybe a high ponytail. We repeat: If your hair is on the thinner end of the spectrum, there are actually lots of ways to style and cut it that will create the illusion of greater fullness and density. So, we went to professional hairstylists Feisal Qureshi, Gretchen Friese, Abii Raji, and Rogerio Cavalacante for their top tips on how to make thin hair look healthy and full.\n<\/p>\n

      While some of these A-list inspirations may have fuller heads of hair, the styles that they’re sporting will help make your own hair look thicker and more voluminous. Scroll through to see the official Byrdie guide to the best styles for thin hair.\n<\/p>\n

        Although some people may think that longer locks will give the appearance of having more hair, it’s actually short hair that gives the illusion of fullness.

        No matter the hair type, long locks have the tendency to weigh the hair down, but this is especially true for those whose hair falls on the thinner side. “Typically, very long lengths will lack volume and that includes your layered lengths,” says Qureshi.\u00a0“I recommend making the hair and layers proportionate with each other and not too long overall.” If you’re going for a shoulder-length cut, opt for blunt ends, as this can make your hair appear thicker.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Shorter hair is oftentimes stronger than longer strands, so even very fine hair can benefit from a super-short crop. Pixie cuts can actually make your thin hair appear thicker than it really is. Try one with choppy layers to add volume, and work in a light styling balm or paste to give your cut definition without weighing it down.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Friese, explains: “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.” Add a few bends to the front pieces for added texture and create lift at the roots with a styling powder.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Side-swept bangs can look thicker if cut right. Qureshi says to ask your stylist to cut side-swept bangs into a \u201cshallow concave\u201d shape and then style them to the side. “If not, with thin hair your side-swept bags will look more like diagonal bangs,” he notes.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Blunt bobs have to be one of our favorite hairdos since they look flattering on just about everyone. According to Friese, “Any cut with a blunt perimeter will create the illusion of thicker hair than a cut with more texturized or feathered ends. An all-one-length blunt bob (around chin length) is a great option for thin hair. It can be worn straight and sleek as well as wavy and tousled, which is very popular right now.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        While thinner hair types are notoriously known for resisting a curl, getting that voluminous retro-wavy look is<\/em> possible.

        While a typical braid can accentuate a finer hair texture, a braided headband is an alternative that adds some playfulness to your look.

        Topknots are praised for their “I-woke-up-like-this” vibe, yet they still somehow always manage to look put together. For thin hair, Qureshi advises to “make sure that it’s not too far forward” and to not strive for perfection, allowing a few pieces to fall out of place. “This will help that topknot look thicker and provide a sassy alternative to the usual.”\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.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        For a more formal updo, opt for a side chignon, which is easier to create than you’d think. In fact, this style is touted as being one of the most favorable for finer hair types, as it doesn’t require volume at the front or too many bobby pins (which are notorious for slipping off of thin hair types).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        The classic Old Hollywood hairstyle is both timeless and workable for all hair types\u2014thin included. “Traditionally, this style is achieved starting with wet hair,” says Qureshi.\u00a0“However with thin hair, be sure to start on dry hair to allow for an easier, more comfortable styling and much less damage when brushing out.” If your thin hair is frizz-prone, use an in-shower anti-frizz treatment\u2014it’ll land you polished curls in the end (sans flyaways).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Aside from the right cut, the right color can also lend volume to thin hair. Qureshi explains: “Thin hair is one of the few textures where color, highlights, and balayage can truly help hair look thicker and support volume. So experiment and have fun.” Ask for tight pieces at the top and thicker color at the ends of the hair\u2014this will create the illusion of a more voluminous mane.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Here’s a style that suits thin hair effortlessly. With a low side ponytail, you have options: keep it sleek and straight or play it up with some waves. Either way, pull the pony to one side and part your bangs on the other for added balance.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        If your hair is a little lackluster in the volume department, a pompadour is a surefire way to transform it. Spritz some hairspray on the bang area of your head, combing upward, and take a blow-dryer to it to ensure it holds in that up-right position.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        If a non-traditional cut\u2014that simultaneously flatters thin tresses\u2014is what you’re after, then why not consider an asymmetrical style? According to Friese, “Cutting the hair shorter on one side than the other adds the illusion of weight to the longer side which will make the hair look thicker. This is usually done on a shorter length cut.”\n<\/p>\n

        If you don’t want to commit to an asymmetrical haircut, you can easily style hair to meet this look. On one side, either pull back and secure hair with pins or slick-back with a strong-hold gel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Even thin hair can rock an epic, fairytale braid like Jasmine Tookes’s. Just pull hair into a high ponytail, then braid the end. Pro tip: Tug the ends slightly apart to create the illusion of a wider (i.e. thicker) braid.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        One way to make thinner hair appear voluminous? We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Try teasing. “I recommend a teasing comb to help provide added volume and hold,” Raji says.

        A wet look makes any hairstyle look immediately cooler, and when paired with the trendy-yet-classic flipped-out ends, you get a chic, unforgettable look. We love how Laura Harrier’s razored ends were left damp (not wet) to look oh-so full in contrast to the slick roots.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        A modern mullet has plenty of layers, so it makes even thin hair appear voluminous. To style, let hair air-dry and finish with a smoothing oil to add sheen.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Growing out a super-short style can feel awkward at times, but a well-cut bixie is a smart way to keep your hair looking sharp.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Create the appearance of fuller volume with a statement headband that draws attention to the accessory like Lucy Hale. The bigger the better, in our opinion.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Unlike Lucy Hale’s sleek strands above, Jessica Alba adds weighty ends to an otherwise very similar look. By rolling the ends of the hair inward, she creates the illusion of greater density.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          There’s no rule that you have to add volume to your thin hair to make it look good, but if that is what you’re attempting to achieve, then you’ll want to err on the shorter side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

          If you have thin hair, light, wispy bangs can help add shape to your haircut. And just about any bang style, from blunt and micro bangs to side-swept fringe, can be cut wispy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

          If you want to create the illusion of thicker hair ask your stylist about layers. “Soft, face-framing layers will add dimension and fullness without weighing you down,” hairstylist Jessica Shakir told us. “You can also ask your hairstylist about adding internal layers to your shoulder-grazing locks, so you can keep the length of your hair while adding the volume you desire.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
