It's commonly said that our hair is our crowning glory. For that reason we want it to be just perfect.
But is it really all that glorious? Or perfect?
Because my suspicion is if you did a survey you may find some women with fine hair would not refer to their mane in such glowing terms. Instead they'd be apt to report their hair is droopy, dull and flat while tending towards greasy far too often.
Why?
Styling fine hair so it looks glorious all day long can be, well, really challenging. Too often no matter what you do it tends to come off looking flat and lifeless.
But you can still get the perfect look for your fine tresses. That all starts with how it's cut.
So success starts by determining which of the hairstyles for fine hair you can pull off with grace and beauty and which you cannot. Here are three top haircuts that have proven to be excellent choices for many fine haired girls.
Bob Haircuts
This is perhaps the most common haircut among those coping with fine strands. In fact it's quite popular among many hair types. Yet, no matter how many are seen sporting any of the popular variations, bob haircuts seem to always keep up with the current trend.
Part of the reason they stay fresh and modern is stylists seem to always be able to find new ways to morph them into the next hot cut. So a stunning bob hair cut can be achieved in a lot of ways giving you many different looks. All of which help your fine locks put their best foot forward.
Another advantage of bob cuts is ease of styling. If your hair is cut right, styling should be quick and simple. The video that follows shows you how you can do that at home to get some added volume into a bob cut. And how to do that right.
Mid-length with Light Layers
Having your hair cut shoulder length or slightly longer can be an excellent look for those with thinner strands. Usually layers will be cut in by your stylist because they're a way to create the illusion of extra body. Layers that are cut following a slightly diagonal-forward moving line on the sides will give you a full-bodied finish with plenty of sexy movement too.
Styling Product Tip: If you have hair that rebels at holding any style you might try using dry shampoo to give it the needed encouragement. Dry shampoo is a way to add something that can add body and help you hold things together.And help you cope with days the oil glands on your scalp seem to be working overtime.
Chop Haircut
This is pretty much cut as short as a bob only with irregular ends. Doing that is another way to add to the volume of your fine or thin tresses. Yet despite the added body this hair style is also easy to maintain. It's all the more low maintenance when you have it cut so it falls above your shoulders.
Styling Product Tip: Those blessed with so called baby fine hair can fake their way to a thicker looking mane by using volumizing shampoos. And there's science to back this up. Because such products tend to be on the alkaline side, they tend to force your hair shafts to open up just a bit. Result? Fuller looking hair. And to take that volumizing to the next level you can try blow drying you hair bent over at the waist. Such an upside down blow dry amps the volume up of hairstyles for fine hair yet another notch.
Finally, as promised, this quick video shows you how to get a smooth and shiny bob that has lots of volume.
The only product used was volumizing lotion. The aim is to get the hair towards the back of your head to lay smooth while adding volume around the crown with the aid of your blow dryer.
The key is having good structure to the cut. If the layers are done correctly they should sit and blend well. You can see how the cut is what produces the look, not any styling technique. And note the downward direction of the hot air. Once the hair near the nape of your neck is damp dry you'll want to use a round brush to direct the hair inwards. This will help to keep it looking tucked in and nicely finished. Resulting in a polished look.
Going medium to short when you have fine hair is always a good approach. It's hard to go wrong when you do. So why not get your hair cut in one of these styles now so you can create that perfect look you've been looking for. Giving you hair you can honestly describe as your crowning glory.
