Don't forget to call on products to help with the scaffolding. “A great finishing product to add lots of texture without weighing down the hair is Oway's Volume & Texture Hair Puff,” says Reece. “Sprinkle it into your hair once its all dry and begin to have fun whilst using the product to manipulate your hair,” he says. And pro hairstylist, Jordanna Cobella says “I use Nioxin dry cleanser with every blow dry or style. It's essentially a glorified dry shampoo, but it's the best on the market. It also has anti hair loss and hair growth stimulating properties as well as plumping your hair for a fuller, thicker looking hair style. I apply in sections across the roots and massage it in, I also shake hair upside down and spray it in the ends for a wider silhouette,” she says.
Finally, one tip for those experiencing thinning at the hairline: use a coloured root touch-up around the hairline (or an eyeshadow the same shade as your roots will work). This will fill any thinner areas of hair, giving the illusion of thick and voluminous hairline." Sneaky, but we love it.
What are the best haircuts for thin hair and why?
A good cut can make a big difference to thin hair, by removing wisps and adding texture. But, no matter what style you go for, “keep it chunky” says Ricky, from Salon 64. "Never razor or chop into hair that's already thin," he says. “Use blunt techniques when choosing which chop suits you,” he adds.
Fine-haired girls can sometimes struggle to make XXL lengths work, since the ends can can begin to look a little frayed and skimpy (although mystical wispy ends are a vibe all of their own). So if you can't fight it, embracing a shorter style can give you the healthy hair you're looking for. “I recommend regular haircuts,” says Reece. “Make sure not to latch onto length. Having a haircut with a strong one-length – and especially above shoulder – will make hair look thicker,” he says.
Bobs and lobs
“If you have thin hair, I would recommend having mid length or shorter hair styles. The lob, the bob, the midi, and pixie or mixie work really well for making thin hair appear thicker,” says Jordanna. “For a lob or a bob length, opt for a blunt cut with no layers as this creates thickness on the base of the haircut,” she adds. "Bobs, collarbone cuts, and pixie crops are all achievable as long as you keep it blunt and chunky," agrees Ricky.
