Time for a new haircut?
While one person is blessed with a voluminous head of hair, the other spends hours using mousse and hairspray. If you do not naturally have locks full of volume, you can give your haircut a helping hand by having it cut smartly. With the right haircut, even fine hair can look, uh, perfect.
Hard Bob (Instyle, Carey Mulligan)
We are all familiar with it: despite regular salon visits, our locks are always a lot thinner at the bottom. If you already have fine hair, this can be extra annoying. The star’s hairstylist, Irinel de León, tells InStyle that a straight bob can make a big difference in such a case. This way you emphasize the natural body of your locks.
If you also opt for a deep side parting, just like actress Carey Mulligan, you will create an extra dose of volume with your asymmetrical cut. Smart!
Romantic bob with layers
Layers can also make a world of difference. For example, combine the bob with subtly wavy layers for a romantic look that is as easy as it is chic. Penélope Cruz sets the right example:
This cut works best if you naturally have a bit of wavy hair, but you can also go a long way with a large curling iron. Simply curl, pin while your locks cool, add a touch of hairspray, and voilà!
Beach waves
Do you prefer to keep the length in your locks? We get it! Fortunately, you can also go in all kinds of directions with fine hair. For inspiration, we look to Cara Jade Myers, who looks beautiful with a simple side parting and natural-looking beach waves. Plus, the Killers of the Flower Moon actress lets her gray locks shine in full glory – we love!
You can create such a beachy hairstyle in no time with a curling iron, but there are also plenty of fine salt sprays on the market that can help you achieve the desired texture – without having to use heat.
Curly bangs
Hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimmons can recommend having a few subtle, thin strands cut as bangs for fine hair, he tells InStyle. But do you really want something special? Then you choose thin, curly locks as bangs. “Wispy curly bangs really help add volume to your hair,” says Fitzsimmons.
For example, actress Sandra Oh has opted for a big head of curls and light bangs that frame her face beautifully. Classic, romantic, and stylish!
Shaggy pixie
For the real daredevils among us: have you ever considered cutting your hair ultra short? TikTok star and influencer Dixie D’Amelio shows that you can also look very stylish with a nice shaggy pixie haircut.
It is of course not without reason that we have known plenty of style icons with such a short haircut over the decades, from Audrey Hepburn and Twiggy to Linda Evangelista and Halle Berry. You just have to dare, but the Glamial editors can promise you: even if it’s not your thing, those locks will grow back on their own.
Smart styling
In addition, of course, even with a well-cut haircut, you still have to be careful not to make common mistakes when you stand in front of the mirror in the morning.
So: choose the right products, and don’t use too much of them. This is how you get through your days gorgeous!
