40 Short Hairstyle Ideas for Thin, Fine Hair
As a girl with thin, pin-straight Asian hair, I’ve always struggled with deciding whether or not to cut my hair. My dark, natural color made me get hot and sweaty quickly, which caused my waist-length hair to stick to any part of my arms or back. Finally, my senior year of college, I took the plunge and cut a foot of my hair off just below my shoulder, and I’ve kept my hair mid-length or shorter ever since. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made—I feel like I look more mature, and I don’t have to suffer through hot, sticky summers anymore.
If you also have thin hair and have been debating whether or not to chop it off, celebrity hairstylist Glen Coco has tips for you. “People with fine hair should always request styles and cuts that don’t take away from the thickness and density of their hair,” he says. “With fine hair, you want cuts that are a little more blunt to maintain the look of thick hair.”
He always recommends that people with fine hair ask for more blunt haircuts, less face framing, and less layering, because any over-layering with fine hair can really make hair look thinner. If you’re not ready and want to test the waters first, there’s always the option to buy a wig to test out the style you’re going for. Need more inspiration?
