Fine hair is often described as silky or baby soft. It has a beautiful, touchable texture. Fine hair is also typically confused with thin hair. Hairstyles for fine hair could actually be sparse or abundant, but what makes hair fine is the diameter of each hair strand. It’s smaller than average hair.
Because of its delicate texture, it’s prone to breakage and has a tendency to fall flat. However, with proper care, the right haircut, products, and style, you’ll be able to make your gorgeous angelic hair look thicker. Depending on the length of your fine hair, you could leave it down with waves, or put it up in a half up updo or even a messy bun. Styling options are endless!
So before your next hair appointment, check out these stunning hairstyles for fine hair.
#1: Stacked Bob
This short, stacked and angled bob with shattered edges gives a woman an instant facelift and the shattered edges create softness around the face. I recommend Bumble and Bumble hair products. I used Holding Spray mainly at the crown and top back to give volume, and I finished with Spray de Mode which is a light hairspray with lots of shine. To prevent flyaways, use a flat iron to straighten the ends.
#2 Shaggy Bob for Fine Hair
This shaggy bob is perfect for fine hair if you want more volume without the heaviness. The layered texture adds body, and the subtle face-framing pieces create a soft, modern look. It’s a medium-length style, hitting just at the collarbone, which works best for those with finer hair types. The tousled waves help disguise any thinness, while the side part adds a flattering lift at the roots. One potential downside is the need for regular texturizing to keep the layers airy. Ideal for heart-shaped or oval faces.
#3 Soft Curls with Texture
These soft curls with texture are perfect. I used Kevin Murphy’s Oil-Free Volumizer, followed by Session Spray to hold the style in place and to style this cut. Styles would be great for all face shapes as these have lots of texture and softness.
#4 Fabulous Silver Layered Bob
Indulge in the sophistication of this silver layered bob—a fashionable selection that revitalizes fine hair. The transformation is as stylish as it is strategic, with layers designed to pump up the volume. The silver shade enlivens your locks with a luminous glow, making each strand stand out against the common challenge of limp hair. While turning heads with its radiant hue, remember that silver can demand dedication to maintain its fresh, polished look. Perfectly suited for those with an oval face, this bob harmonizes with your natural contours. Just a dab of smoothing serum will ensure your hair stays smooth and volumized from morning coffee to evening lights.
#5 Blended Mocha Color
This is a blended highlight mixed with some mocha lowlights to give it a more natural, dimensional look. I think my favorite thing about this look is the different contrasts of tones throughout the hair, so she appears to have thicker and fuller hair than she actually has.
#6 Pinterest Curls
These Pinterest curls are actually my favorite type of curl as it looks extremely natural and adds lots of texture without looking too contrived.
#7 Curly Hair + Blonde Ombre
This curly hair blonde ombre is a perfect way to brighten up your blonde without worrying about a regrowth line. My favorite part about this look is that adding in the highlights gives her natural hair color dimension and depth, and the color will look good, both straight and curly.
#8 Layers & Honey Babylights
This look is a combination of long layers with a side-swooping bang combined with soft, honey-toned babylights. The bangs are great if you are trying to hide a large forehead or wrinkles. Bangs are also a great way to open up a round, square, or heart-shaped face. Oval and diamond face shapes work well with the long layered aspect of the haircut, too.
#9 Betty Page Hairstyle
This rounded bob with Betty Page bangs is one of the best short haircuts. A bob is a classic because it’s so versatile, and every hair type and face shape can look good. The color and Betty Page bangs are for that woman with a bold style.
#10: Low-Maintenance Blonde Bubble Bob
The bubble bob, like all things from the year 2000, is back in fashion. The bubble bob is easy to style if your hair is straight to wavy. Ask your stylist to give you a beveled bob that reaches between your chin and shoulder with little to no layering. Use a small round brush to blow dry your hair or tuck in the ends with a smoothing iron.
#11: Choppy Boyfriend Bob with Waves
If your hair is fine to medium and dense, this choppy boyfriend bob cut is a perfect choice. Since fine hair often looks flat, adding choppy layers can add movement and relieve weight. Use a 3-barrel wave iron or curl your hair gently for more volume and movement.
#12: Beautiful Center-Parted Dark Blonde Hair
If you have long and straight hair, think about shaping it with large soft curls to add volume and bounce.
#13: Side-Flipped Italian Bob
The side-flipped Italian bob is an elegant hairstyle that works well for busy professionals and fits any occasion. The side-flipped fringe provides an added charm to this classic hairstyle. When styling, use a blow dryer or flat iron to flip your ends out. Remember to use a finishing spray to maintain the hairstyle’s volume.
#14: Long Fine Curled Hair with a Side Part
If you want a new hairstyle, try long, curled hair styled with a side parting. This style is versatile. It adds depth and dimension to your curls and beautifully frames your face. By parting your hair on the side, you can enhance the natural volume and movement of your curls. Keeping the length is crucial for maintaining the curl pattern. So, avoid having too many layers on the sides. To style your hair, start with it wet. Then, apply volumizing mousse to encourage curl formation. Use a diffuser to dry your hair and scrunch it gently with a microfibre towel to remove excess moisture.
#15: Long Blonde Hair with Blunt Ends and a Center Parting
If you desire a hairstyle that screams classic and timeless charm, think about long blonde hair with blunt ends and a center parting. A center parting brings forth balance and symmetry, which enhances the natural beauty of the face. The centerpiece-parted long hair with blunt ends is ideal for those desiring a sleek and tidy look. The blunt ends of this hairstyle give an illusion of thicker and fuller hair. To achieve this hairstyle, part your hair in the center and use a light hair product for shine and hold. You can dress up or down this multipurpose hairstyle to fit any event.
#16: Muted Orange Tones
Adding muted orange tones can impart beautiful warmth and softness to hair. If you want a subtle color that enhances your overall look, muted orange tones are perfect for creating dimension and depth. Muted orange tones work great. They don’t overpower or weigh down delicate strands. Instead, these tones bring a gentle pop of color that complements the natural hair texture.
#17: Dirty Blonde Balayage with a Money Piece
You can consider a dirty blonde balayage that includes a money piece. A super-fine babylight balayage gives you a softer, diffused blonde look. Adding bolder blonde accents around the hairline makes the money piece stand out. If your hair is fine, highlighting will give it more texture and body. This is achieved by expanding the hair shaft’s outer layer, the cuticle.
#18: Ashy White-Blonde Long Hair
If you’re blessed with ashy, white-blonde, long fine hair, you’ll love this stunning hairstyle. The sleekness and delicate texture of your hair will be beautifully enhanced with this cut. I suggest having long layers and subtle face-framing angles so this haircut can add movement and dimension to your locks while maintaining a polished and elegant look. This look is a versatile style that suits various face shapes and can be customized to your preferences. To style, start with damp hair and apply a volumizing mousse from roots to ends to add body and hold. Blow-dry your hair using a round brush, focusing on lifting the roots for extra volume.
#19: Subtle Side Part on Wavy Hair
A warm brunette with a subtle side part on wavy hair can add life back into your features and lifeless hair. Ask for subtle warm tones with hints of copper or ginger accents. If you have colored eyes, like green or blue, it’s important to add hues that complement them. Avoid cool tones, and be sure to stay in the warm family.
#20: Bold Long Bob Cut with a Middle Part
Looking for a hairstyle that adds volume to your fine hair? A bold long bob cut with a middle part may be just what you need. This hairstyle is perfect for those who want to keep their hair blunt while still having movement and texture. The middle part adds a chic touch, while the long bob cut perfectly frames your face. I recommend using a volumizing spray on towel-dried hair to style this cut. Blow dry it with a round brush to add extra volume. Tousle it lightly with your fingers to finish the look, and you’re ready to take on the day.
#21: Long Contoured Layers
If you want to highlight facial features and add some body to your hair, try face-framing layers. I suggest going over your features if you want a flattering cut. Choose the length at which will contour the face around the eyes, cheekbones, and chin. Style with a round brush & thickening sprays like Randco Dallas Thickening Spray.
#22: Thick-Looking Fine Hairstyle
A thick-looking hairstyle is one to consider. To help your long, fine hair look thicker, try getting a blunt cut with a few face-framing layers. Layers help with movement and texture.
#23: Sleek Long Hair with Dark Roots
Go for a sleek, long hairstyle with dark roots. I suggest getting a root shadow if you’re looking for a low-maintenance blonde. My advice is to stay within 2 levels of your natural. That way, your growth is not as noticeable. You can still get all-over babylights for high-impact blonding. Then, go in with a root shadow for the lower maintenance option.
#24: Dark-Rooted Long Blonde Hair
This dark-rooted, long hairstyle is perfect for women who want to avoid bangs. If you want to keep your hair away from your face while still maintaining volume, this look is a great way to do that. I’ve found that using light-hold hairspray keeps the ends from getting too frizzy. And it keeps your style lasting all day.
#25: Beautiful Long Curtain Bangs
With long, open-ended bangs cut at an angle to frame your face, this look will flatter your features. It will also enhance your natural beauty. The fine hair texture is ideal for this look, as it will give you lots of movement and keep it looking light and airy. Add texture to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair with a curling wand for a softer, more romantic finish. For added fullness, use mousse and scrunch your hair while blow-drying.
#26: Pretty Curled Ends on Straight Hair
Try pretty curled ends on straight fine hair if you are looking for a fun, flirty style. When it comes to styling straight hair, proper products and hair tools will be the difference. Personally, I like to use a light to medium hold hairspray before curling to add hold during the process. Always use a heat protectant before any heat styling, such as a leave-in blow-dry cream.
#27: Lived-In Wavy Bob Makeover
A lived-in wavy bob is an ideal option to create the illusion of thicker, fuller locks. Aim to keep your layers shorter when cutting in more texture. When styling, using products that won’t weigh down your strands is important. Talk to your stylist about which ones are best for you! If you want more volume, try adding a root booster spray before blow drying. Don’t forget the finishing touches! Texturizing sprays or sea salt mists will ensure beautiful waves stay in place all day long!
#28: Frosty Blonde for Thinning Hair
This frosty blonde with a shadow root for thinning hair is for the chic fashionista with the time and money to invest in her hair. This look can go with many face shapes and hair types. This look calls for a styling wand or a 1 to 1.5-inch curling iron to achieve the waves.
#29: Warm & Layered
This warm and layered cut has some soft layering to keep the perimeter strong. She has fine hair and if we over-layer, then she loses all the strength and bulk on her ends which makes it look wispy and unhealthy. As far as styling goes, my go-to product is a lightweight volumizing mousse on damp hair.
#30: Affordable Summer Balayage
This balayage is super easy to maintain. You only need a purple shampoo, so the blonde stays nice and icy! No one likes brassy blondes. To recreate, see your trusted stylist. This is definitely a look you don’t want to try at home. The look is great for women with busy schedules and on a budget because they don’t have to go back to the salon for months.
#31: Summer Blonde
This is a natural-looking summer blonde. To maintain this look at home, I recommend using purple shampoo and either a strengthening treatment or conditioning treatment once a week. The woman in the picture has fine hair, but the color actually works for all hair types. With smaller weaved highlights, the line of demarcation becomes diffused.
#32: Long Copper Hairstyle
I suggest this long copper hairstyle if you’re down to take a trip to the fairy side. We love how this hair color fades from a deep, rich copper root to dimensional ginger ends.
