This cut works particularly well for thin hair by concentrating length in specific areas rather than spreading it thinly throughout.
7: Undercut Bob
Combine a traditional bob with a hidden undercut at the nape to remove bulk where it’s not needed and redirect volume where it matters.
This technical cut creates the illusion of thickness.
Keep the undercut section completely hidden when hair is down, revealing it only when desired.
The reduced weight at the nape allows the remaining hair to appear fuller and more voluminous.
Style with a round brush, directing hair away from the undercut area for maximum lift.
8: Textured Crop with Side-Swept Bangs
Opt for a short, textured crop with longer side-swept bangs for a style that adds movement and dimension to thin hair.
The varied lengths throughout create the appearance of thickness through strategic layering.
Use a small amount of texturizing cream to enhance piece-y definition without weighing hair down.
The side-swept bangs add softness while creating the illusion of more hair through directional styling.
9: Blunt Chin-Length Bob
Choose a precisely cut, blunt bob hitting exactly at your chin with minimal layers. This geometric cut creates the appearance of thickness through clean lines.
Ask your stylist for a weight line that creates a strong, solid perimeter.
Style with a flat iron for sleek definition that showcases the cut’s precision.
The uniform length creates maximum impact at the ends, making thin hair appear denser and more substantial.
10: Pixie with Long Crown
Create dimension with a pixie featuring extra length just at the crown area. This targeted approach adds height where thin hair needs it most.
Keep the sides and back closely cropped while leaving 2-3 inches at the crown.
Apply volumizing mousse to damp roots and blow dry the crown area using a small round brush.
The concentrated length on top creates the appearance of fullness while the short sides keep the style manageable for thin hair.
11: Choppy Bob with Micro-Bangs
Add edge with a textured, choppy bob paired with ultra-short micro-bangs. This combination creates dimension through contrasting lengths.
Ask for choppy, uneven ends that create movement and the illusion of thickness.
The short bangs draw attention to your eyes while creating a strong horizontal line across your forehead.
Style with texturizing spray scrunched through the ends for piece-y definition that makes hair appear fuller.
12: Modified Shag Cut
Update the classic shag with shorter lengths for a modern take that adds volume to thin hair through strategic layering.
Request layers that create fullness at the crown while framing your face with shorter pieces.
Use a diffuser when blow-drying to enhance natural texture without creating frizz.
The varied layer lengths throughout create movement that makes thin hair appear more voluminous and dynamic.
