Flat hair, do care. It’s difficult to make any haircut or hairstyle look its best if your hair is limp, flat, and uninspired. But it’s also not the easiest task imaginable to take thinning or shedding hair and bulk it up enough to look voluminous.

That’s where a great haircut comes in to save the day. If it has been a dog’s age since you’ve changed your style, we get it. It can be difficult to go from very long hair (for example) to a chic pixie. But there are hundreds of hairstyles that fall in between waist-length and super-cropped hair that can do incredible things for flat hair.

For your consideration, here are nine gorgeous cuts that are guaranteed to introduce lift, fullness, and vitality into your hair — no matter how fine or flat it currently looks.

1. Shoulder-Length Hair With Ombre


Shoulder-length hair is the best compromise of all between long and short hair. It is short enough to provide a youthful lift, but long enough to allow you to throw it up into a bun or ponytail. Don’t sleep on the power of color to put any haircut over the edge. On its own, a shoulder-length crop may not seem to stand out, but adding ombre color provides dimension and instant style, plus it helps brighten up your skin and features.

2. Blunt Bob


We’re seeing a lot of blunt haircuts lately, as women realize the full potential of this style. Leaving the ends blunt can help create a denser look that makes your overall hairstyle appear thicker and healthier. And the bob is a classic haircut that’s the ideal length to remove stringiness from thinning and flat hair.

3. Blunt Wavy Bob With a Side Part


Sometimes the best haircut is a variation on a classic cut. In this case, the bob becomes more glam when you add a side part and waves, which can be created using heatless wave techniques. These style shifts also create the look of more texture in your hair and help conceal sparseness on the scalp.

4. Blunt Lob With Waves


If a bob haircut is a little too short for your liking, keep a few inches of length and opt for a blunt lob with waves. This cut stop at the collarbone, which is still a great length for body and volume, and the incorporation of waves beefs up strands and makes them look denser.

5. A-Line Bob


The A-line bob is another variation of the bob that features more angles and gives the appearance of a sharp, sophisticated ‘do. In this case, the back is shorter than the front and front layers fall to frame the face at an angle.

6. Bob With Textured Layers


If blunt cuts are too visually sharp and simple for your liking, your stylist can cut textured layers into a bob and give you even more movement. Be careful about not over-layering thin or fine hair, though, which can make it look even thinner.

7. Messy Pixie


We began assuring you that a pixie is not the only haircut for thinning hair, and this is true. But it’s still an incredible haircut for fine or thin hair if you’re open to going shorter. Keep the top layers a little longer than usual to give you even more styling options, including a sort-of messy look that can conceal sparseness on the scalp and appear more youthful and playful.

8. Shag Haircut


The shag haircut is one that many women with thin hair may avoid because they assume too many layers will make their hair look thinner. But this cut can be fierce when it’s cut with an individual’s hair type in mind. It provides an instant shape with plenty of movement and longer and shorter layers throughout.

9. Ghost Layers


Ghost layers are invisible layers that your stylist cuts into your hair. They work especially well with thin and fine hair because they introduce body and movement to your hair without too many choppy layers. Ghost layers are longer and more subtle, but can really enhance long or medium haircuts.
