Medium-Length Hairstyles for Thin Hair We Love

Beachy, breezy waves add natural-looking texture to thin hair, and blunt ends make the hair look thicker. Keep the dimension up with a bit of volumizing spray.

Retro curtain bangs are back and better than ever. Since they split to the side, curtain bangs add texture to your overall look, instead of sitting flat on your forehead.

An asymmetrical cut that’s slightly longer on your dominant side is modern, fun, and keeps the eyes up front, making your hair appear thicker. Just be sure your stylist goes subtle—too much of a contrast and it will look like a total faux pas.

Sometimes, it’s not the cut that can add depth to your hair, it’s the color. A blunt cut keeps the ends clean, but seamless balayage coloring gives the hair so much more dimension.

Shags are back in a modern, boho way. Light, wispy fringe and beachy waves make this look texturized.

With thin hair, you always want to keep the ends blunt, but several (not too many!) light layers can add tons of texture. A long face-framing layer is flattering and doesn’t require the commitment that bangs do.

A deep side part adds instant volume, especially when paired with a volumizing mousse and a hint of teasing—not too much, though.

An angled lob can help make your hair appear thicker, since it’s slightly shorter in the back than the front. This angled lob should be subtle, though.

Soft, feathery layers and seamless highlights add a double dose of texture and “oomph” to thin hair. Light layering, with several face-framing portions, draws the eyes forward and creates more depth, and highlighting adds dimension throughout. Use a beach spray for waves that hold.

With thin hair, you don’t want to commit to straight-across bangs that will fall flat. Instead, opt for wispy, textured fringe.

Curled-under ends add retro glam to any blunt cut, and they’ve been on red carpets everywhere lately.

Although side-swept bangs can look dated, pair them with blunt ends and no layers for a fresh, modern look.
