Hairstyles for Thin Hair

Jessica Rowe
For those who have thin hair, finding a hairstyle that works can be a bit of a challenge. Bottom line is that, thin hair is hard to get to get to hold a style. Being that not all of us can have thick hair, here are a few hairstyle ideas, but not limited to, for thin hair that do work.

For women who have thin hair, a short, about chin length cut is often the best option. Hairstyles were the bangs slightly cover the face, are a good choice also as well as having your hair put back behind your ears, or a bit of a curl at the ends. With these styles your hair will appear fuller and bouncy.

Thin long hair is often brittle and can appear unhealthy. For long hair braids work very well, as well as many updo's. Leaving long thin hair straight can often look boring, but pinning some of it back, can make your hair appear thick and full.

Adding layers to naturally curly hair will allow for bounce and appearance of thickness. Be sure the layers are shallow so it does not look awkward. Also an a-line bod cut would look very nice. If you really want a lot of bounce for your thin hair, you can always try a perm style, with a blunt cut.

For men who have thin hair a very short haircut is probably your best bet. Your hair will look thick even though it is cut short. A good choice would be a short crew cut, buzz cut or a ceaser style.

A midway length haircut would be a good option. Long hairstyles are not the greatest idea, but they will work. Stay away from gels that hold hair in place and the wet look. All in all, short cuts for thin hair on men, are the way to go.

When choosing a hairstyle ask your stylist what they think would be best, as thin hair is often hard to style even for a professional. You want a hairstyle that fits the shape of your face, and complements you.

To keep your thin hair healthy, wash out dirt and oils and replenish your hair with vitamins contained in many hair products. Eating a good diet is also important in your hair maintenance. Eating a lot of junk foods and fattening foods can cause hair to become dull and brittle.

    Great tips. My husband has very thin hair at the top of his head. He keeps it cut short. It looks nice that way.
