7: French Bob with Full Fringe
This chic, jawline-length bob paired with a full, straight-across fringe creates the appearance of thickness through clean lines. The shorter length prevents fine hair from falling flat.
The substantial bangs create the illusion of density at the front. This Parisian-inspired style particularly flatters square and oval face shapes.
Keep the ends blunt and the length between chin and jaw for maximum impact.
8: Chin-Length Cut with Side-Swept Bangs
This versatile cut hits right at the chin with longer, side-swept bangs that create movement and dimension.
The bangs disguise any thinning at the hairline while adding volume.
The chin-length keeps weight off the ends while maximizing midshaft fullness.
This adaptable style works beautifully with both straight and wavy textures.
Blow-dry with a round brush, focusing on creating lift at the roots for added volume.
9: Short Stacked Bob
This structural cut features a slightly shorter back that gradually gets longer toward the front.
The stacked layers in the back create automatic volume without requiring much styling.
The graduated shape concentrates weight at the front while building height at the back. This architectural style particularly benefits straight, fine hair.
Ask your stylist for a slight undercut at the nape to enhance the stacked effect.
10: Shoulder-Length Cut with Internal Layers
This strategic cut maintains a shoulder-length blunt perimeter with invisible, internal layers.
The hidden layers create movement and volume without disrupting the strong outline.
The shoulder-grazing length offers versatility while the internal texturing prevents the dreaded “triangle” shape. This clever cut works for both straight and wavy textures.
Add volumizing mousse at the roots and mid-lengths before blow-drying for maximum impact.
11: Graduated Bob with Texture
This contemporary bob features a slightly angled shape with subtle graduation and piece-y texture throughout.
The graduated cutting technique automatically creates volume at the back.
The textured ends prevent the cut from looking too blocky or heavy. This modern style works particularly well with straight to slightly wavy hair.
Use a texturizing spray to enhance the piece-y separation and create the illusion of density.
12: Long Pixie with Volume On Top
This versatile short cut features longer pieces on top with tapered sides and back.
The length on top provides styling options while the short sides create a flattering frame.
The contrast between the longer top and shorter sides creates the illusion of thickness and volume.
This low-maintenance style grows out gracefully between cuts.
Apply volumizing powder at the roots and piece out the top with your fingers for textured volume.
13: Face-Framing Layers with Blunt Ends
This clever cut incorporates light, face-framing layers while maintaining blunt ends.
The strategic layering around your face adds movement without removing too much density.
The blunt perimeter creates the appearance of thickness while the face-framing pieces soften the look.
This balanced style works at any length from chin to shoulders.
Ask your stylist to keep layers minimal and focused only around your face for maximum thickness.
