Curl Booste
A great way to make fine limp hair look thicker and fuller is to add thick luscious curls. Minimal layering and having the length fall a few inches past the shoulders also helps this thin hair looks bouncy and full. A nice side part keeps the look fresh and modern.
How To Style:
1. Begin your styling by having your curling iron on (one inch barrel curling iron or slightly larger), your hair clean and combed, and the proper heat protecting products applied.
2. Section up most of your hair and begin curling the bottom dropped out section of hair.
3. Spray your curls with hairspray and then drop down another section to curl.
4. Curl your entire head of hair and finish off with your favorite hairspray.
Recommended Products:
Use something to protect your hair from the heat without weighing it down like Carol’s Daughter Macadamia Heat Styling Hair Spray. It’s lightweight and delivers lasting hold without any sticky, crunchy, or flaky residue.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Type:
All face shapes are great candidates for this curly hairstyle. Fine to thick hair will work and straight to wavy textures will work well, too.
Tips:
Roll the curling iron away from the face when you are curling hair around the front of your face. This helps the waves look balanced and more natural.
Blonde Ambition
Take off some length and look awesome with this sexy bob. Shorter hair with blunt ends helps thin hair look thicker. Minimal layering is key to keep the style full but some deep side bangs add some shape and style.
How To Style:
You can let your hair air dry or simply blow it dry with a paddle brush.
1. Begin with clean, dry hair that is parted to the side.
2. Use a 1” sized flat iron and start at your nape with the rest of your hair pinned up. Flat iron the dropped down section and bevel the ends under slightly.
3. Drop down another horizontal section and flat iron.
4. Continue until your entire head of hair, including the bangs, are smooth and beveled towards the face for a nice polished look.
Recommended Products:
Use a nice product to protect your hair like Frizz-Ease Hair Serum form John Frieda. Works great on all hair types and will help your strands stay soft and healthy even after applying heat.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Type:
This look is perfect for clients with round or heart shaped faces. Fine to medium thicknesses of hair that is naturally straight would look amazing with this hairstyle.
Tips:
If you’re thinking about taking your hair this blonde you should always consider the maintenance involved. If you have naturally dark hair you will have dark roots repeatedly and will have to make a good few trips to the salon. Ask your stylist if there are other lower maintenance blonde shades that might make your life a bit easier.
Lovely Lob
This long extra long bob totally works with the deep side part and thick wispy pieces. When you have thin hair the key is to keep the cut full with no layering. Your hair will look twice as thick! Subtle side bang / layers in the front help add a little shape without taking out too much weight.
How To Style:
1. Apply strong volumizing products to damp roots and comb through.
2. Flip your head upside down and blow dry. Having the roots hang with gravity will help them dry with more volume.
3. When your hair is almost dry, flip right back up and use a large round brush to really curl and flip the ends under for that nice rounded shape.
Recommended Products:
Use a mousse that will really give your roots a lift like Volumactiv from Kerastase. A little goes a long way but will give you really big results.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Type:
Because of the big shape and the deep side part, this look would complement most face shapes. Fine to thick hair could pull this off with straight to wavy texture.
Tips:
Flip your hair upside down and spray with a strong hold hairspray. Flip right side up again and gently smooth for instant volume! Use this tip in the bathroom at lunch to add some body back into your day.

This crimson beauty rocks with a dramatic sweeping side part and soft tapered ends. A theme to these fine haired styles is to keep the layers only around the face. Having no layers throughout keeps the style full and
thick looking.

The Glamazon
Sport this glamorous style when you need a bit more elegance in your life. The super creamy blonde color is to die for and the smooth sweeping bangs show off the color beautifully. Spicing up the rest of your hair with sassy curls make this hairstyle completely irresistible.
1. Break out your 1” curling iron and have at your hair! Take small sections and curl, roots first and slowly click in the ends of the hair strand.
2. Leave the bangs out and simply run a flat iron over them to add shine and to flick the ends back into the curls so they look blended and like they belong.
3. Hold your curls in place with your favorite hairspray.

Fine hair looks great with minimal layers but challenge a boring, no layered haircut by adding them around your face. Your hair will look full and styling with face framing flips and chiseled layers.
How To Style:
1. Use a paddle brush to really blow-dry your head of hair dry and smooth.
2. Take a large sized curling iron and flip out the ends of your hair around your face.
3. Use your fingers to break up the curl to look more like a flip and then set your hair with spray.
Recommended Products:

Best Face Shapes and Hair Type:
Round and square shaped faces would look best with this medium to long layered hairstyle. Fine to thick hair that is on the straighter side will totally rock this look.

Fine haired clients oftentimes have oily hair. Use a clarifying shampoo that will help break up the oil and add volume or a dry shampoo to add texture and lift.

Shattered Shag
You don’t have to have a ton of thinning layers to pull off a shag. There are no layers but by simply shattering out the bottom edge gives the illusion of a textured shag. Add in some asymmetrical bangs with the same texture and you’ve got an amazing look for thin hair.
1. Blow-dry your hair with a paddle brush and pay special attention to the bangs. Just blow-dry them down towards your face so they’ll lay flat.
2. Go back in when your hair is completely dry and flat iron section by section to get a fabulously straight hairstyle.
3. Use some shine spray for added glam.
Recommended Products:
I absolutely love the Shine Spray by Privé. Spritz it on your hair while wet for a quicker dry time and then on hair again when finished for a totally mirror like sheen. Beautiful!
Best Face Shapes and Hair Type:
Oval shaped faces will work best for this sultry shag. Sleek straight hair with thin to medium thickness will rock this hairstyle.
Tips:
Instead of using a razor to cut the hair, have your stylist use her shears to “point-cut” the ends of the hair strands. This will create that textured look without ripping and slicing the thin strands.
Ginger Spice
Spice up your hair-color with this beautiful cinnamon hue. Gorgeous for any season! Keep your fine hair looking full by keeping the layers just around the face. The light razored edges help add texture and don’t take away from the thickness.
1. Use your blow dryer to remove all the moisture out of your hair. A paddle brush is great to use for a straight look like this one.
2. Grab your flat iron and straighten out your strands when your hair is totally dry.
3. Grab a few sections of hair on top of your head and tease the roots slightly to add a little volume.
Recommended Products:
Use the lightest concentration of Oleo Relax from Kerastase so your strands will get the protection and hydration they need without being weighed down.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Type:
Round and oval faces will look great with these soft, face-framing layers. The side bangs help balance out oval face shapes. Super straight fine hair is the best hair type for this style.
Tips:
When you have super fine hair keep it healthy from roots to tips. Split ends can happen more often on thinner strands so really take the time to give it the TLC it needs.
