@hairby_elisharene

This messy short choppy hairstyle with side bangs features a blunt bob and textured ends. It was created by hairstylist Elisha Rene Bosch of Scottsdale, AZ. “The ends are point cut for a more shattered and messy vibe,” she explains. Curl in one inch sections with a flat iron and make sure your ends are straight. Bumble and Bumble dry spun texture spray will help with the messy texture.

Less is more, says Bosch. “Don’t try to be perfect with the style. Messy is in! This is perfect for fine hair because it will look a lot fuller with it shorter. Also if you have thick hair, you can add silky texture or thin it out it to make it look shattered.  Just a little bend with a curling iron or flat iron will make this look sexy.”

This short haircut for women with finer hair is a modern blonde bowl cut with texture. “If you are looking for short hairstyles for fine hair, this is a great choice,” says stylist Miranda Barton of San Jose, CA.

“This style builds the illusion of volume all the way around. Plus, it will enhance and contour your facial features by how high or low the weight line is placed. A higher weight line makes this style look edgier.  A lower line is softer,” she adds.

This short haircut is for women who have slightly longer facial shapes. Hair texture doesn’t matter. For fine hair, it creates volume. For styling, apply a heat protectant and heat active products. Then, dry with round brushes, and use hand tension. Smooth it down for a clean polished style.

@colourmesue

For styling your fine short hair, use a salt spray for more grip and texture then finish with a few twists using a medium curling iron. Use dry shampoo on thinner hair to give it the appearance of more hair.

Make it a little longer/shorter according to what you like. More or fewer layers but not too much to keep it looking fuller, especially when using a freehand layers technique.

The 46 Best Short Hairstyles for Thin Hair to Look Fuller

@zachspiveyhair

Flaunt short hair with undercut and fringe to exhibit confidence and a bolder edge. Fine locks can benefit from this the most. If you want a trend that requires the least effort when maintaining and styling, get a short haircut. All you need is your favorite texturing product to separate and enhance the texture of the chop.

Hairstylist Zach Spivey of Exeter, UK created this short hair with an undercut and fringe. “A strong structure in the hair was created, especially around the hairline. Length on top was left along to add plenty of texture,” explains Spivey.

When it comes to short pixies, there’s a ton of variations in length and textures. For day to day styling, use a light mouse for hold (Aveda Phomollient) and a texture powder (Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion). Once dry, avoid using anything too heavy and weighing the hair down.

An Easy to Style Short Bob

The 46 Best Short Hairstyles for Thin Hair to Look Fuller

@timpascoe_hair

An easy-to-style short bob with a side part style is perfect for providing volume to thin hair. It’s a jaw-length chop that’s very feminine and versatile to wavy or straight styles. To class it up, use a styling or modeling spray plus a styler to comb and curl the tresses. Blow-drying the hair upside down can, however, bring out more volume.

This is an easy to style short bob for thin hair. It was created by Redken certified hair colorist Tim Pascoe of Subiaco, WA. “The baseline is point cut and kept horizontal. Texture/volume spray and blast in the opposite direction (without nozzle). For volume where needed, and down (with nozzle) to keep flatter, and then smooth ends to finish,” he explains.

This bob haircut is perfect for women who have straighter, fine hair. Medium to fine hair would be less work styling. This short bob isn’t very suitable for curly hair, as the shape would change dramatically. For finer hairstyles a volume spray and heat protector will keep the hair full and strong.

Short Curly Bob with Bangs

The 46 Best Short Hairstyles for Thin Hair to Look Fuller

@gellalegaspi

A short curly bob with bangs is the ideal cut to show off the natural hair texture. It was created by hairstylist Angela Legaspi in California. Curls are the easiest and most fun way to go for quick volume when it comes to short, thin hair. They make a maximum style with minimal effort.

“This short curly bob with bangs has added dimension to make the hair pop. For hair on the finer side, twist and carve out pieces randomly. Doing so will give thin-haired women a fuller voluminous style,” says Legaspi.

If you have textured hair and are thinking about getting a curly bob, do it! More so on the side, if you wear your hair curly most of the time then not. Use a Moroccan oil curl mousse and Davines oi oil- by to style. It’s definitely worth taking the time to finger coil sections and diffuse.

Short Angled Bob

The 46 Best Short Hairstyles for Thin Hair to Look Fuller

@courtneyxcentrichair

This haircut is a short, slightly angled bob with a hidden taper in the back. It was cut by hairstylist Courtney Bond of Waterloo, ON.

“The shape is created in the nape area to give a curved silhouette allowing it to be sleek without any shag layers while still maintaining the taper effect,” explains Bond.

Women with short, thin hair, who don’t want to fuss with their hair will benefit from the ease and versatility of this cut.

Thin to medium hair works best and typically those that have length and fullness in the front will achieve this degree of an angle. Adding a deep side part to create a diagonal line makes this cut suitable for any face shape.

Bond suggests using a texture spray as a finishing product is best for this haircut. “Thin, fine hair tends to get weighed down by overusing product. The texture spray provides just enough grit to the thin hair and allows movement,” she adds.

If your hair type is very fine, a shaggy bob may not be suitable for you. Loose styling is what’s going to make this cut stand out and enhance your locks of hair.

“If you take an iron and curl some pieces away from your face while leaving some pieces straight, and using a dry texture spray or powder will give you that undone style,” she adds.
