The 10 Best Short Haircuts for Thin Hair

If you don't want a super short cut but you want your hair to look thicker, go with an asymmetrical lob that's longer in the front than the back.

Curling your hair so that you have subtle waves will add texture and make the hair appear more full.

You can achieve a dense hair appearance by asking your stylist to use straight lines when cutting your hair, Sarah Webb, a stylist at Salon Modello in Atlanta, Georgia, says. Certain styling tools can also help you achieve more volume and control. "My go-to styling tool with a cut like this is a Denman brush," Webb says. "It gives you control with the hair, while keeping it smooth at the same time."

A stacked bob isn't for everyone, but you can still get the effect of one without a major chop. Light layers and texture around the whole head make this hairstyle pop. Curling pieces around your face also helps with defining your facial features and adding lift to the hair look.

Go bold with a unique color that's still understated with lowlights at the roots like this look by Kali Delta, a stylist based in Tampa, Florida. Keeping curls in the middle of the hair shaft creates the illusion of more volume at the roots and elongates the hairstyle.

Parting your hair with a deep part to one side adds immediate volume. Try parting it to the opposite side than you usually do for even more of a volume boost.

Achieve major volume for that va-va-voom look with mousse and texture sprays. "Layers create texture, movement, and volume," Sarah Webb says. We're loving the subtle layers and movement in this bob cut.

With a short, blunt cut, the hair looks stronger and healthier and automatically draws the eye to your jawbone. We love this dramatic transformation done by stylist Casi Stauffer in Phoenix, Arizona. 

"Adding subtle dimension helps to give the illusion there is more hair," Janna Wright, a stylist in Richmond, Virginia, at Hair Perfection salon, says. Use hair care products to help plump the hair cuticle when styling, she adds.

Subtle highlights will add depth to thin hair, but don't go too light. Be sure to keep lowlights and darker roots for a base. Mixed-in highlights create the illusion of more layers, therefore more hair.
