Weak, fragile hair requires extra-special care. A good haircut that can cut off dead ends and make hair look thicker and stronger is key when starting down the journey toward loving your hair. Although you may not need short hair to transform thin strands, removing length won’t hurt. Among the best haircuts out there for thin hair you’ll find this one: chin-length hair, otherwise known as the bob.
The chin-length haircut is perfect for thin hair. It automatically gives the face a little lift while creating hair that looks denser and healthier. If you’re searching for a few great ideas to breathe new life into this season’s super-popular chin-length haircut, here are five amazing hairstyles for women over 50 who have thin, weak, and fragile hair.
1. Angled Bob
The angled bob looks even thicker in the back than most bobs because of its blunt, shorter beveled back layer. Since it is angled toward your face, its longest layers (which should sit around the chin) frame your cheekbones and jawline.
2. Bob With Flipped-Out Ends
A bob with flipped-out ends is one of this season’s hottest looks. It gives a nod to the 1960s and is simple to style — all you’ll need Is a round brush, blow dryer, and a few spritz of setting spray.
3. Wavy Bob
Few styling tricks provide more volume to weak, thin hair than waves and curls. The combination of a chin-length bob and waves, whether natural or created with rods, gives the hair extra body and bounce.
4. Bob With Balayage
Never underestimate the power of color to give thin hair more depth. A few well-placed highlights, or painted-on balayage for the most natural look possible, will brighten up your chin-length haircut and give it tons of shine.
5. Bob With Bangs
The right bangs can give the crown more density — since a great deal of shedding can happen at the top and sides of the hairline, this is a key solution. Add bangs to your bob if you want an instantly polished style, but speak with your stylist about the perfect bangs style for your hair type.
