Tired of your flat hair? Searching for a few great haircut options that will make you look and feel your best? The good news is that there is no shortage of hairstyles that can make your crown look more voluminous and bulk up strands for the appearance of thicker, fuller, healthier hair. Long, short, shoulder-length, straight, or curly — whatever your hair type and preference, one of these haircuts and styles and make the most of flat hair and make it look — well, not flat!
Bob With Beachy Blonde Highlights
Don’t sleep on the power of a dimensional hair color to complement a classic haircut. In this case, the classic is a bob — one of the best cuts for flat hair because it creates a thick, more blunt baseline that instantly makes your hair look thicker. Add bright, beachy blonde highlights to your bob and you take it from mid to mesmerizing. If blonde isn’t a shade that works for you, consider money pieces instead — lighter pieces framing your face that give your skin a pop.
Undercut Pixie
The pixie is punky, funky, and fun — especially when you keep the sides and back not just short, but shaved close to the scalp. This fun haircut looks youthful and fierce, but it also conceals signs of thinning and a sparse scalp.
Voluminous Pixie
See a theme here? We love the pixie haircut for thinning hair because it works! In this case, you can keep the layers at the top of your hair a bit longer and add texture like waves and curls to make it even more voluminous. If you want to get even more adventurous, add a few highlights to your pixie for dimension.
Sleek Bob
Back to the bob — keeping yours one length and sleek (perhaps with a side part) can look sophisticated and chic, but it can also make individual hairs look bulkier and thicker. The secret to success here is a thicker baseline that lacks a lot of layering.
Medium Haircut With Angled Layers
Medium haircuts are the great compromise between long and short and are perfect if you want some length, but still want your hair to look thicker. Keep your hair to the shoulder or slightly above it and add layers that are angled toward your face to highlight your facial features.
Short Hair With Curls
By “short” hair, we mean anything shorter than the shoulder — this can include lobs, bobs, and pixies. The magic here is adding curls to the equation, which creates the illusion of volume and bulk. If you have natural curly hair, this is a good time to let nature take its course (with the help of a good curl cream). If you have straight hair, there are a number of heatless curling options that add texture without damaging your hair.
Modern Shag
The modern shag takes a retro ‘70s cut and gives it a new spin to make it more current. This newer shag has softer, slightly longer layers that are less choppy. This is perfect for bulking up thin hair and it lends itself nicely to adding texture like waves and curls.
Bixie
A ‘90s hero, the bixie combines the best of both words from the bob and pixie. It features shorter hair at the nape, with longer layers around the crown and front of the face. It falls short of looking like a mullet, if this is a concern for you, and is a perfect cut if you want something that’s longer than a pixie, but a bit shorter and funkier than the bob.
Asymmetrical Bangs
The easiest way to change up your look and give oomph to fine hair is by focusing on your bangs. So many bangs styles can make your hair look thicker and fuller, and one we’re loving lately is asymmetrical bangs. This bang is cut in a diagonal line across your forehead to give any hairstyle a dose of visual intrigue.
Choppy Lob
The lob is a long bob that stops at around the collarbone — it’s a great cut for those who want a little more length, but not so much length that it weighs your hair down and makes it look thinner. To make your hair look even denser, ask your stylist to add choppy layers, while keeping the baseline blunt. This creates tons of movement, but prevents the baseline from looking thin and stringy.
Textured Fringe
Back to bangs — they needn’t fall straight and flat across your forehead, as this won’t do much to enhance your hair. in this case, adding texture to yours can bulk up your crown and make hair in this area look thicker and fuller.
