Cuts for Fine Hair

Flat, limp hair can easily be avoided with some understanding of the right cuts for fine hair. While some styles are universally flattering for all hair types, others simply don't give thin hair the body and life it desperately needs. A little know-how can mean the difference between a lifeless and lively hairdo.

An edgy bob adds volume to fine hair.

Anyone with fine hair can relate to the desire for fuller locks. Even the shiniest, healthiest tresses are not perfectly satisfying if they appear thin and wispy. Fine hair isn't a lost cause, though. In fact, there are a number of options out there that can transform the appearance of thin hair into something more substantial. The key, of course, is to add volume. This can be achieved with the right styling products and tools, but it can also be encouraged a bit with the right haircut.

If you've always had a love-hate relationship with your fine hair and can't seem to win the long battle, take a more authoritative stance as you move forward. On your next visit to the salon, be prepared with a list of styles that you feel may suit you, work well with your hair type and flatter your face shape. This may be easier said than done, but a few of these cuts for fine hair should put you on the right track.

The classic bob is a style that has recently experienced a great resurgence, thanks to Hollywood's elite sporting fresh takes on the look. A short bob is probably the most flattering style out there for women with fine hair. It lends those naturally lightweight tresses a thicker appearance. The hair is "tricked" into looking thick when it's cut short. The longer the hair, the more weighed down it will be. This is not conducive to full-bodied hair!

• The graduated bob is a style that takes some courage to pull off, but it's a celebratory move that may well give your hair the leverage it's long needed. Similar to Victoria Beckham's popular cut, the graduated bob is shorter in the back and longer in the front. Add some height at the crown using a hairdryer and paddle brush, run some molding wax through the ends for texture and revel in richer hair.

• The blunt bob is a fabulous choice for the fine-haired. Cut to just below ear level, it instantly enriches the appearance of fine hair and lends it a more luxurious appearance. Beckham has sported this style, too, and shown just how easy it is to make fine hair look so naturally thick.

• The classic bob is your everyday bob, cut to the chin and designed to make the most of those naturally sleek locks. Consider that you won't have to fight your hair type to sport this style; simply wash and go.

Great for individuals with oval shaped faces, the cap haircut is not the first choice for most women simply because it doesn't suit everyone. It's not the universally flattering style that the bob is, but it can really pump up fine hair and give it a voluminous, outstanding look. This style is really all about the bangs; they suggest abundance and produce a strong, textured look.

Choppy hair is essentially a more modern, edgy take on the traditional bob. The ends, however, are cut irregularly. This provides fine hair with some very necessary shape and dimension. Choppy bangs can also be worked into any bob-type style; they can be cut long or short and instantly add a shot of tousled volume to the hair.

Fine hair and a little confidence are the right ingredients for the crop haircut. This updated, short style is casual and youthful, cut close to the head and typically tapered at the neck for a sleek look. Creating volume at the roots and bangs is essential in achieving a thicker appearance. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis is a great example of someone who makes the most of her fine hair with a cropped cut.

Though shorter styles are the best bets for fine hair, many women can get away with shoulder-length styles if the cut is right. Opt for long, textured layers, which go a long way in maximizing body and lending the hair that enviable bounce.

The right cut goes a long way in making the most of fine hair. Keep the momentum going by implementing a few of these tips into your daily routine!

• Lowlights work wonders in enhancing the hair and lending it a darker, warmer and ultimately richer and dimensional appearance. This depth is what gives thin hair a thicker visage – just the shine and dimension is more than enough to elevate fine hair to a whole new level.

• Use a volume-enhancing product, such as a thickening cream or root styling gel, to make the most of your style. Light, oil-free, strengthening formulas are ideal – they won't weigh the hair down, even after several hours.

• Get acquainted with hot rollers and large barrel curling irons. Set your style with a shot of cool air and a spritz of volumizing spray to maintain the look all day long.
