Haircuts and Hairstyles for Fine Hair

There is that general opinion that thick hair is the best form of hair one can have. Why? One, it looks like there is so much to look at, and two, because there is so much that can be done with it in terms of styling. What about fine hair then? Many women feel that fine hair has a lot of limitations. In a way it may be true, but one must not forget that there are several ways by which fine hair can be styled and made to look absolutely glamorous. Fine hair does not mean you need to forget all about being fashionable. A good hairstylist can transform fine hair into a beautiful hairstyle that can prove to be the envy of others. If careful thought is put into, and proper planning is done while styling the hair (hair length, texture and structure of the face), mundane looking hair can be transformed into absolutely gorgeous hairstyles. In the following sections, we will go through a few elements that one is required to keep in mind to lead to great haircuts and hairstyles for fine hair.



Fine hair needs to be styled with care and careful thought. A hairstylist needs to always take into account the texture of the hair, its length and the shape of the face while styling it. Women with fine hair need to be really careful about the way their hair is styled. Here are a few options that women with fine hair can opt for.

Bob Hairstyles


Short hair is often considered to be the perfect option for fine hair styles. If your face cut allows you to sport short hair then you can go in for a variety of stylish bob hairstyles. That being said, a long bob is equally in vogue. One can simply tuck the long strands of hair behind the ears. It looks even more glamorous if one’s face shape is petit.

Layered Hairstyles


If your hair texture is straight and fine, you can opt for layers. Layers automatically adds volume to the hair thus giving it the much-needed lift. The hair does not remain limp and dull but gets a natural bounce. It is seen that a layered haircut best suits women with really fine straight hair that is shoulder length. Avoid creating very short layers that could reduce the overall volume of the hair. A good shampoo followed by a conditioner that adds volume can be a good idea if you have an urgent party to attend. Keep shoulder length hair trimmed to have a neat and tidy appearance.



Layered haircuts are seen to add to the appeal of wavy or curly hair with a fine texture rather well. You can go in for layers and opt for styles that enhance the natural waves of the hair. Consult your hairstylist for a great hairstyle. One thing you would need to consider for wavy hair that has a fine texture is to avoid the frequent use of blow dryers. Instead, let the hair dry naturally to avoid the frizz.

Bangs/Fringe Hairstyles


Bangs are a great option to add to your hairstyle, especially if you have a high forehead. There are several ways of wearing your bangs and fringes. You could sweep the bangs to either sides or part them in the center. If bangs are not really your cup of tea, you can opt for fringes as well that sweep over your forehead. Fringes look great on short as well as long hair. Many women add a few highlights to the bangs or fringes to increase their overall appeal.

Crop Hairstyles


Crops are one of those really bold hairstyles that seems to suit some women really well. These are the latest buzz on the fashion circuit and are creating a rage all over. Crops look best when they are short and therefore they are best suited for women with small frames. One’s facial features are highlighted with short crops.



If you still wish to maintain your hair length, you can simple add a crop cut to the hair above your forehead and tie the rest of your hair into a ponytail (this hairstyle only suits a few. Make sure you go in for it after careful consideration and consultation with your hairstylist). Avoid the use of elastic bands. Sleek ponytails are easy to manage on an everyday basis. Women with fine hair need to avoid braiding the hair as well because hair braiding may cause more hair loss due to the process.

Color Highlights


Color highlights add a whole new dimension to your hair. Depending on the kind of highlights that are done and the color that is used, these hairstyles help to add volume to the hair. The color that one uses plays a very important role in this direction. Always consult your hairstylist and discuss the kind of highlights that need to be done and the color that should be used to best enhance your hairstyle. Make sure to use a hair color of a good brand to avoid damaging your hair. Choose a hair color that complements your personality.



These ideas would help you to have an idea about the kind of style you can go in for. Treat your hair with care to have healthy and gorgeous tresses.
