10 Simple Ways to Give Thin Hair More Volume

Thin hair becomes flatter with time – it’s frustrating, a trim might be a quick fix, but creating body has its own set of longer term tips and tricks. Here are some of our favorite.

1. Keep hair length above the collarbone. The longer thin hair gets, the flatter it becomes, so a long bob or something more daring like a pixie cut are great solutions.

2. If you’re too scared to chop off more than a few inches, a multi-layered ‘do might be the fix you’re looking for, and it works with lots of hair and face types.

3. Apply highlights, which can have the uncanny ability to give the illusion of more volumes – balayage especially. Working in different shades adds dimension, and placement is everything.

4. Don’t use creamy shampoos which can encourage oiliness. Instead, use a nourishing shampoo which adds or builds volume.
