Asymmetry might be fine hair’s best friend, but there is no reason to abandon blunt bobs. They look great on fine thin hair if they are long enough and are styled properly. Add some side swept bangs and your look is complete.

If you consider coloring your fine hair, don’t forget the rule of thumb. The lighter the hair, the more voluminous it looks. Accordingly, women with fine hair should go blond and there is no doubt about it. Choose the right shade of blond and give it a try!

49. Slight waves

If you are not ready to go through the rounds of creating full-time curls and waves, you can easily go for the simple slight waves look. The slight waves are easy to style and they look great on long hair. Don’t forget about the bangs.

50. Brushed to one side

51. Short and neat

If you are tired of a constant struggle for keeping your hair voluminous and sparkling, give it a rest. Fine hair doesn’t mean you must always try to add volume. Keeping it short and neat will give your look an amazing cuteness, you might not want to change in the future.

52. Back to the ’20s

This is a very interesting way to add volume to hair without much effort. Brush your bangs to one side and seal them with some hair gel and you will get a unique and outstanding look, that girls with thick hair will envy.

Roots must always be colored on time, right? Wrong! Girls with fine hair can let the roots grow out a little in order to create a transitional feel to the hairstyle. A little dark hair mixed together with the blond shade of choice will not ruin your look.

54. Accessorize

Don’t ever forget about the accessories. The correctly chosen accessory can change your look drastically. So, think about the ones you like best and don’t be afraid to use them. Any type of brushes, hair pins or bands will draw the attention away from the hair type.

55. The classics

This textured long bob with fringe can be considered the classical hairstyle for women with thin hair. While keeping the hair a little longer than the pixie will allow, this bob creates an impression of volume without almost any maintenance.

56. Highlights on top

Another way to use highlights on fine hair is to keep them on top only. What we are trying to do here is create as much volume on the top part of the hair as possible. In order to achieve that we use proper highlights and keep the lower part of the hair as thin as we can.

57. Undercut for Women

An impression of an undercut allows brushing most of the hair to one side. This way the feeling of the volume is created. Proper coloring is a must here, otherwise, the undercut look will be ruined. Give this unique style a try.

58. Make them thinner

You’ll be surprised but one of the ways to give your fine hair some volume is to keep it thinner. How would you do that? Keep the volume on top and then the falling strands out to make a contrast. This way the top part looks even more voluminous.

59. Straight and natural bob

Depending on how thin your hair is, you can settle for a natural looking bob, like the one on the picture. Such bob looks very neat and is often a hit. Women with thick hair will spend a lot of time creating such a hairstyle, all you will need to do is brush and go!

60. Choppy Bob

A choppy bob is a wonderful idea for anyone with thin hair since the choppy ends give a lively and voluminous look to the dull and thin hair. Make sure to keep your hair blond, otherwise, the choppy bob won’t be as effective.

61. Textured asymmetry for long hair

If you are bold enough to keep your hair at least at a shoulder length, there is no way you can just leave them straight. Make sure that you either add some texturing or asymmetry or both, otherwise, the hair will look dull and thin.

62. Colored ends

An easy way out for women with thin hair would be colored ends. The best choice would be to keep the ends darker than the rest of the hair since it would give the top more volume, but a vice versa version is also allowed.

63. Short blunt bob

Blunt bobs look great on short hair as well as on the long ones. A neatly styled blunt bob is a great choice of hairstyle for fine thin hair. Go for the side swept bangs to complete the look.

65. Dark Pixie

While the color of choice for women with thin hair is blond, dark colors are also allowed. If you decide to go for a darker color, make sure that you keep your hair short. Dark long thin hair doesn’t have many chances.

66. Asymmetrical pixie

Asymmetrical pixie is a stylish haircut, which looks great on any hair. Women with fine hair will appreciate this style for its voluminous look and easy maintenance. Make sure to add the side swept bangs.

67. Mix and match

68. Get creative

Don’t forget about getting creative with your hair. On special occasions, fine hair can be allowed to become anything you want. However, make sure you give your hair a lot of rest, so it doesn’t get even thinner.

69. Colored Layers

If you are leaving your hair long, you must create some layers. When layers are in place, think about giving them some life with different colors. Play around with all shades of blond. Light brown is also allowed.
