Every girl dreams of hair similar to those that appear in commercials for famous shampoos. However, nature has not endowed everyone with such luxurious hair. What should you do if you have thin and not too thick hair, but really want to look good? Of course, choose a hairstyle that will help with this!
First of all, it is worth saying that thin hair has its advantages: it dries quickly, and is soft and pleasant to the touch. They just need to add extra volume. How to do it? The easiest way is to choose any layered haircut. After all, it is she who will visually add volume to the hairstyle due to the fact that the layers will separate the total mass of the hair.
A structured ladder works well. Moreover, the more layers, the better. After all, the main task is to make the crown shorter. Due to this shortened crown we will get the desired volume. We do not mill or thin the ends.
Pixie for fine hair
Pixie is a hairstyle that works great with said hair. Do you want to add extravagance and audacity to your image or, conversely, femininity? Then this is your option. After all, a pixie can be very different: with long or torn bangs, with large light waves and side bangs, with a side parting, combed back or forward, pointed with a side parting and even a punk pixie ladder. However, it is worth remembering about proper installation. Additional volume is created due to the “ruffles”, grunge style and protruding strands from above. The role of bangs in creating the overall look should not be overlooked.
Fine hair has a soft structure, constantly gets tangled, is difficult to style and does not hold volume at all. A correctly chosen hairstyle and haircut for medium-length thin hair will look visually fuller and thicker.
Creating hairstyles for medium-length thin hair can be difficult and problematic. Hair constantly gets dirty and looks awkward.

How to choose a hairstyle
Thin, sparse hair lacking volume is a common occurrence for Europeans. The strands look liquid and too light; they quickly get tangled and are difficult to fit into the hairstyle. Stylists note that rods that are too thin take paint worse.
If the scalp is oily, the curls quickly become dirty and take on an unkempt appearance. Those with dry skin complain of dullness and increased brittleness of their hair.
However, with all its shortcomings, light and fragile strands can look great. When choosing a hairstyle for thin, medium-length hair, it is important to consider
- The length of the main mass of hair and bangs. It should not be excessive, otherwise the curls will constantly get tangled.
- The strands need to be given the missing volume. This is possible by choosing a haircut, changing the texture, correct coloring and using high-quality styling products.
- Hairstyle complexity. The simpler the styling, the more beautiful thin strands look. Complex braids, various backcombing, and frequent hot curls are contraindicated for this type of hair.
When choosing a shade for coloring, you should prefer complex warm shades. They give the strands the missing volume and beautifully highlight the face. For blondes, a creamy sandy color scheme is suitable; brown-haired women and brunettes should experiment with tones of caramel, honey, and chocolate (see photo).
Coloring in 1 tone will make the curls flat and boring; aggressive highlighting can ruin the already fragile structure of the rods. The ideal option is shatush, balayage or with the effect of burnt strands or regrown roots.
Colorists recommend avoiding too dark tones: radical black, rich wine red, purple, black-brown. Such shades contrast with white skin, showing through from under thin strands, the hair will look even sparser.
Advice. A great idea is to dye your hair with natural henna. It will compact the rods, make them shiny and less brittle.
