Stylish Looks for Fine Hair

Ladies with fine hair have plenty of options when it comes to gorgeous styles. From sleek straight styles easy to achieve with this hair type to curly and wavy options that add volume, there's a look for every lifestyle, personality, and occasion.
The all-one-length bob is fun, edgy, and easy to style for those with fine hair. The front is just slightly longer than the back, with long layers. In order to add some thickness and a slight turn under, use a medium-hold mousse on wet hair. Dry with a large round brush and blow dryer. For an asymmetrical look, part to one side, emphasizing the longer strands in front with a matte texturizer.
Chin-Length Bob

A chin-length bob is perfect for fine hair, because it is so easy to add volume and movement to the style. The length in the back usually starts where the hairline begins and goes straight around to the front, ending up right around the jawline for most people.
As long as your stylist has added a few long layers all around the cut, this is an easy style to achieve. Use a light-hold spray for hold and thickness with a large round brush and the blow dryer.
Curly Bob With One Side Up

People with fine hair can use curls in order to add the illusion of thicker hair. This just-above-the-shoulder bob is curled under with large rollers or a large-barrel curling iron at the root in order to achieve a bouncy, hair-thickening, curly look. Then simply pull back and secure the hair on one side.
Use bobby pins, hair pins, combs, or pretty barrettes to help you to achieve this look. A strong-hold hairspray helps keep this style in place.
Classic French Twist

The classic French twist is wonderful for making fine hair look fuller. You will need shoulder-length hair for this style to work. (If it is not within your skill set, ask your stylist to do this one for you.)
- Start by curling your hair from the root to the ends and back combing. You want as much thickness as possible. Use medium-hold spray with a large-barrel curling iron.
- Section the front section, from the top of the head to the front of the ear, out.
- Bring the hair in the back together nicely and twist it upward in order to lay flat against the head.
- Once you have a twist that you like, secure the twist with bobby pins all the way up to the top.
Adding a pretty barrette or comb at the crease of your twist can hide all those pins and make your look complete.
Short Bob With Curls

Fine hair looks beautiful with a short style that has a little bit of curl. This short bob with long layers is perfect for a full, sexy look. This style is very easy to achieve at home.
- Depending on how fine your hair is, you may want to blow dry your hair with a medium-hold gel and a large brush first.
- Section off the top of the head and curl this piece last; using a light-hold spray curl the rest of your hair all the way up to the root with a large-barrel curling iron.
- Unsecure the top section of your hair and curl the hair shaft only halfway up.
Finish your look using a strong-hold spray with shine in order to complete this beautiful style.
Loose Bun Updo

A loose bun made with curls can make fine, short hair look fuller. You will need to have a one-length bob to begin with.
- Use a light-hold gel on wet hair, and blow dry your hair upside down for extra bounce and fullness.
- Curl your hair using a light-hold spray and a large-barrel curling iron from the root.
- Pull your hair back into a loose ponytail.
- Grab individual pieces of hair from the ponytail and pin each into place. Each piece should help create a loose and curly looking bun.
Use a strong-hold spray, in the front especially, using hair pins to secure any long pieces that just won't stay put.
Edgy Pixie Look

A pixie cut is amazing for people with fine hair, because it can be lifted and manipulated from the root for a thicker, more volumizing look. Your stylist will have a ball with this short, asymmetrical look, and so will you.
Once home you can accomplish this style by using a light-hold gel and a matte texturizer. Blow dry the hair with large round brush on the bangs and just messy in the back. Use the texturizer at the root in the back for hold and at the ends around the face and bangs.
Asymmetrical Short Bob
