Everyone agrees that your hairstyle has the power to make or break a look. You have thin hair? Don’t sweat it; check out these 25 hairstyles for thin hair that will look flattering on every hair length, and accept that from this day on there are only great hair days ahead.
Let your luscious locks off the leash!
1. Textured Lob
I have to start this list with the favorite among hairstyles for thin hair. Since it falls into the mid-length category, textured lob is a rather versatile look and super flattering for all face shapes.
2. Bixie
The weird in-between phase of growing your hair from a pixie cut to a bob has become an official look in itself. It’s quirky and it’s cute, and – if you’re a fan of shorter styles – you’ll love it.
3. Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs are always on-trend and work great with thin hair of any length. This look will require some styling, but that’s a small price to pay when it makes your every look charming and feminine.
4. Wolf Cut
The wolf cut is a love child of the shag and the mullet. Even though it can have various lengths, it’s longer, like the shag and gets the ”business-in-the-front-party-in-the-back“ vibe from the mullet. The wolf cut requires daily styling, so be ready to commit.
5. Side Part Bob
If you’re not one for experimenting with textures and lengths, there’s still a way to stir things up — get a bob or a lob with a side part. The asymmetry of this hairstyle adds volume and frames your face in an attractive way.
6. Blue Balayage
Balayage is a great way of using color to make your hair look fuller. I dare you to step out of your comfort zone and try something out of the box – this blue balayage, for instance. This look works for short and long hair.
7. Butterfly Cut
More face-framing, elegant and easier to maintain cousin of the wolf cut, the butterfly haircut, is essentially a combination of shorter and longer layers, and perfect if you want to maintain length and add volume.
8. Layered Pixie
We all know that the pixie cut is meant to be short, but if you have thin hair, layers can give it extra volume and shape.
9. Wispy Bangs
Your hair is thin already — why, for the love of hairspray, would you take on a style that highlights it? Well, for one, because wispy bangs are so easy to style, and because they make you look younger.
10. Layered Lob
If you’re a Friends fan, then you’re most certainly familiar with this hairstyle. You can wear your hair straight or wavy, loose or pinned up in half-updos — this look is the perfect balance of practical and trendy; just the way Monica Geller loves it.
11. Beach Waves
Soft, messy waves – or simply put, beach waves – are yet another amazing choice of a hairstyle for thin hair. It gives your hair a fluffy texture which makes it appear fuller, and it’s a perfect go-to look for the upcoming hot summer days.
12. ’90s Office Bun
When you’re in a hurry and want your hair to behave and still look attractive, I recommend you go with what I like to call ’90s office bun. It’s neat and sleek in the back, while glorious curtain bangs laying gently against the cheeks frame the face.
13. Soft Shag
The shag haircut is characterized by choppy ends and lots and lots of layers – which works better on thick hair. But, that doesn’t mean that ladies with finer hair can’t rock this look too: the softer version includes medium length hair with longer (not necessarily curtain) bangs.
14. Curly Bangs
Long, short, blunt or layered – bangs have become the essential piece of every hairstyle for thin hair. There’s something so irresistibly retro about curly bangs. Now, even if your hair is not naturally curly, you can shape your bangs with the help of flat iron, curling iron, or go for the overnight no-heat option and use overnight curlers.
15. Chin-Length Bob
This short version of the textured bob is popularly known as the French bob, and you could see it on the titular character of the movie ‘Amelie’. It’s a very elegant and easy to maintain hairstyle.
16. Curtain Bangs And Long Layers
This is the best hairstyle when you know you want to try layers, but are not ready to risk it all. The long layers create texture and keep the length, while the shorter curtain bangs frame the face and make any half-updo look great.
17. Choppy Pixie
This boyish haircut is super short with longer choppy layers on the top of the head. These longer strands are where all the fun lies: you can blow dry them upward, or wear them as bangs if you style them across the forehead.
18. Blunt Bob
Some things are called classics because they never go out of style. One such case is the blunt bob. It’s all about keeping things simple, neat and practical.
19. Light Strands
It doesn’t matter if you wear a blunt cut or prefer to wear your hair layered, if you add lighter strands around your face, they’ll give you a frame that will make your hair appear thicker.
20. Asymmetrical Bob
Everything that’s out of the ordinary attracts attention — but, hey; that’s where all the fun is. Get out of the box with an asymmetrical cut and give it something extra with an interesting color combo.
21. Short Shag
This is a perfect hairstyle if you want to minimize the amount of time spent on your look: wash, scrunch up with some volume mousse, blow dry and you’re good to go.
22. Mullet With Short Bangs
Women don’t shy away from sharp cuts and short hair these days. Combine them with ’80s and ’90s trends, and you’ll get something like this look: the short bangs keep the hair away from the face, and the mullet keeps the length and the fun in the back.
23. Super Long Layers
You don’t have to give up the length of your hair just because it is thin – layers will give lots of volume to long hair. Ask your hairdresser for a blow-out and voilà, you’ll look ready for the red carpet!
24. Textured Pixie
When layering is done right, the pixie can be the perfect choice for ladies with thin hair. It adds volume, texture, dimension and face-framing strands that look great with almost every face shape.
25. Messy Bun
The messy bun is a laid-back hairstyle that has become the synonym for effortless chic. If your hair is layered or you have curtain bangs, you can leave a couple of strands out of the bun to frame your face.
