Versatile and Cute Hairstyles for Thin Hair

Women with thin hair may struggle when adding body, but there’s a ton of styling options that actually work great on thin hair.

Cuts

Cute hairstyles for thin hair include bobs, short styles, and medium to long cuts with lots of layers. If you’ve got thin hair, think big! A long layered style set with lots of rollers and spray will add volume and sexiness to a retro pinup coif. A straight edgy bob will add a modern and chic appeal to your fine style. Short hair, with lots of layers and pieces, are a breeze to style and conceal fine hair.

To style your thin hair, get used to styling aids such as mousse and volumizers. Adding volume to your style will be a daily task, but with the addition of styling tools and appliances, your style can be versatile, offering many cute and stylish options.

Updos and Formal Styling

Updos add lots of body to the hair and conceal the amount of hair on the head. Although not practical for everyday wear, a formal updo style is perfect when a special occasion calls and you need to add some oomph to your thin hair.

Big jumbo roller set hair pinned up into a loose style is feminine and adds to the appearance of full hair. For added volume, consider a clip in hair piece that matches your hair perfectly.

Roller Girl

Roller set styles work wonders on thin hair when the locks are pinned up immediately after curling, rather than let loose (fine hair tends to lose its curl easily.)

Opt for a roller set style that pulls all the hair into a chignon or loose bun to add volume and body.

Swiss Miss

Not only a nifty styling trick for concealing limp locks, braids are right on trend this season when paired with hippie style headbands and accessories. Parted down the center and braided, one would never guess the amount of hair you have.

Braids also make a great option for day old hair. Simply unravel your knots and let your mane tumble with thick waves and quirky kinks.

Adding Color

Color and bleach damage the hair; not really a secret. But, did you know this damage actually adds some life to limp locks? Hit the salon and get some highlights and see how much volume and texture you get. For those backing away from blonde, you can get the same results from an allover color.

Hair Accessories

Thick headbands and hair scarves are right on trend this season and add a level of dimension to thin hair. This multi layered headband from Free People fools the eye, giving the illusion of lots of height and fullness.

Try seeking out different accessories that add fullness and trend to your style.

Preventing Thinning Hair

Although part genetics and part environment, there are a few things one can do to prevent thinning hair.

  • Heated styling implements can cause long term damage and breakage on the hair. Use these appliances with caution and always use a heat protectant spray prior to styling with heated tools.
  • Eat right. Healthy hair is an indication of how we treat out bodies and what we put in them. Steer clear of junk foods, eat fresh veggies and produce, and make sure you consume the recommended minimum of eight eight cup glasses of fresh water per day.
  • Keep hair out of the sun. Sun damages the skin just as it does the hair. Use a specially formulated hair SPF and wear a sun hat if you intend to stay out in the sun for extended periods of time.
  • Avoid wearing hats. Continuous friction brought on from wearing hats can cause thinning hair and breakage.
  • Opt for scalp treatments that contain tea tree oil or peppermint. Frequent a salon and receive professional scalp treatments or massage using scalp stimulating ingredients. Not only do these treatments feel good, they may stimulate hair growth.
  • Keep your hair clean. Good hygiene removes dirt and oils that can impact on the scalp, resulting in stubborn hair growth.

I've had oily hair since I was in Middle School/Junior High. For 20+ years, I used the same over-the-counter oily hair formula shampoo. Then, about 2 years ago, I tried using a variety of regular shampoos, but my hair would get oily and stringy by the end of the day. I had to wash my hair every day.

Then, my hair-stylist suggested the Tea + Protein Shampoo from the Made from Earth line. I was hesitant at first because I didnt think organic shampoos were anything special, but I decided to try it.

It took a few tries, but now I only have to wash my hair every other day! Hooray! Its a thick shampoos so it doesnt run through my fingers and down the drain before I can even get it onto my hair!

I saw a HUGE improvement on my oily hair - highly recommended if you are trying to have normal hair. To avoid overdrying, I use their conditioner also.
