Celebrities Consistently Ask For These 29 Haircuts to Make Their Fine Hair Look Fuller

The Italian bob, as it’s called, has a rounded, glamorous shape, versus the sharp, bluntness of the French bob. See Zendaya’s here, which looks bouncy, soft, and very full. Try adding subtle layers throughout to add some movement and dimension to your hair. And if you’re down to copy this style, opt for a 1.25 inch curling iron to add waves through your hair, pinning them while they cool to increase their longevity. Then, once you let them down, brush them through and spritz with hairspray for smooth, undefined curls.

Want your cheekbones to really pop? Cut your bob right under them to act as a natural contour. It creates a soft shadow that brings so much attention to your face, creating super-sharp lines and edges. But it also just happens to make your hair look super thick and full, especially with such a blunt, precise cut.

If you have fine, thin hair, you were probably told to stay away from layers, as it could make your hair look even thinner. But if those layers are blended well, it can actually create body and movement that makes your hair seem thicker. See here: Ryan Destiny’s long layers that give her mid-length cut dimension and styling capabilities.

If you do want to try a layered haircut, Federico suggests trying a minimal amount of layering at the crown of your head. This will give you extra height at the top while maintaining all that density along the bottom. Although too many layers can thin out the ends, a few layers can give a little movement and pick-me-up to curls and waves that appear flat. Just make sure you’re seeing a stylist who’s very familiar with cutting curly hair so you get the results you want.

Sabrina Carpenter recently revealed a new hair look sans her go-to curtain bangs—one that happens to be perfect for fine, thin hair. Middle parts can sometimes make your roots look flat and sparse, whereas a side-swept style is great for adding a teensy bit of extra lift without really doing too much.

This one doesn’t even necessarily require a full-on haircut. Just try switching up your hair part to instantly create more volume. Or next time you’re in the salon chair, tell your stylist you’re considering a side-part and they can cut the perfect style for you (like this mid-length cut Carpenter has).

As hairstylist Leo Izquierdo explains it, a blunt cut keeps the bulk of the weight at the ends, which gives a thicker, fuller, healthier appearance as opposed to a highly textured look that accentuates breakage or thinness towards the ends. Style it pin-straight or try a softer look with rounded ends, like this. It might sound counterintuitive, but a head full of long, thin hair isn’t so heavy, meaning it’s less likely to pull down and look weighted and flat.

“You must be gentle and aware that thinner hair can’t take as much trimming as thicker hair can,” says Stanwell. So don’t feel pressured to constantly go back for trims to keep your pixie cut from looking grown out. Just embrace the in between. During the process, hair wax will help you slick down flyaways, as well as get this cool sleek look shown on Greta Lee.

For maximum density, Federico recommends a classic bob, like the French bob seen here on Gracie Abrams, that’s all one length. It’s the perfect choice for a timeless cut you’ll never get sick of, and it’s actually also one of 2025’s most popular haircuts. And it just so happens to make your hair look extremely full and healthy. It doesn’t rely on a lot of height or texture, so it’s a great option for anyone who is constantly fighting day-two (or three or four) hair. Run a boar-bristle brush from roots to ends to help redistribute your hair oils and make your hair look shiny and sleek, not greasy.

Not quite a bob, not quite a pixie—the “bixie” haircut is perfect for those who thrive in the in-between. It’s super-short, which allows your fine, thin hair to really shine since it won’t require intense styling.

Additionally, this cut is really fantastic for those who have destroyed their hair with color or chemical treatments and are looking for a refresh, since you won’t really need to use much heat on it ever. Instead, just grab a styling wax (a spray-on wax makes things very easy) to place your pieces exactly where you want them.

An asymmetrical cut creates major fullness, says hairstylist Jamie Brice, because it stacks your hair on one side for a lot of lift and volume, even if your hair is fine or thin. Plus, the asymmetrical look adds some visual interest that creates the illusion that your hair just naturally is fuller. Ciara, shown here, opted for a sleek finish, but curling a few pieces around your face with a 0.5 inch curling iron will add even more body.

If you want to make your hair appear thicker without having to build a lot of volume, consider a pixie cut like this one. It might require a few more trips to the salon for touch-ups than you’re used to, but the stylists say the more trims, the better for your thin ends—no matter the length of your cut.

These short layers stack on top of each other to create so much lift, especially on curls. See a hairstylist who specializes in curly haircuts, as they’ll be able to work with your texture. And be sure to bring lots of reference inspiration photos and talk through the cut with the stylist.

“Sometimes, bangs are a great way to change hairstyle without having to do too much,” says Stanwell. “Bangs on finer hair can be easier to manage as well,” Stanwell adds.

Eventually, they’ll probably air dry to your liking, but in the beginning, all you’ve gotta do is blow dry them with a round brush to give them a bit of volume and shape. You can also add a little more to your cut by blending in some face-framing layers around your fringe, says Izquierdo. It’ll highlight your facial features and create more body so your hair doesn’t lie flat against your face and can flow more freely.

Instead of fighting your fine texture, work with it. A mullet really relies on less hair density for an edgier finish, which is why it looks so good on Kristen Stewart here. Bangs that hit just above the brows give this an even stronger rocker vibe, whereas a long-line bang would soften this cut up a bit.

If you think wispy bangs will thin out your hair texture, just peek at Reneé Rapp’s look. It actually adds some dimension to your hair, especially when you wear it sleek and straight. If you want a little more oomph at your roots, though, lightly tease with a comb and spritz with dry shampoo to add some volume.

Izquierdo says a blunt cut with a little movement on the ends is a great option for those with fine hair, so ask your stylist to break up the ends a little with a cut like this one.

No matter your length, flowy curtain bangs give your thin hair a bit of fullness that frames your face. But if you don’t wake up with perfect swoops, don’t worry—just use a heated round brush to blow dry them in place. Then, to make sure they stay, rub a dime-size of hair wax in your fingers then through your bangs to shape them.

If you love a tousled hair look (like beach waves and heatless curls), ask your stylist for a layered lob like Taylor Swift’s. It’ll help create some movement and texture throughout your hair, all while still giving you ample length to try out different styles and wavy looks. Do yourself a favor, though, and stock up on salt sprays beforehand—you’re going to need them.

If you love long hair, though, by all means, keep it! Someone with thin hair can absolutely grow their hair longer, and if you choose a longer length, just be consistent with your haircuts. Izquierdo says this is super important to stay on top of any breakage or split ends and maintain a good shape while growing.

According to Federico, an inverted bob or a classic graduated bob, which stacks the layers under your hair to build fullness, maintains weight through your hair, faking the appearance of much more hair. See Selena Gomez’s hair above, which looks extra full on the ends, especially with this flipped-in, rounded style.
