Thicken Fine Hair with These Expert-Approved Techniques

Dealing with fine hair that lacks fullness and volume can tire you out. But there are effective methods to help you achieve a fuller look with volume. Whether you have genetically fine hair or see thinning, you can solve the problem with a new hairstyle, highlights, hair care treatments, and products.

Start With a New Haircut Style

1. 45-degree Angle Cut For Shorter Hairstyles

It starts in our stylist chair with a new, well-thought-out haircut to begin your journey to thicker and fuller hair. We create a haircut design to form an illusion of thicker hair that can make a difference.

If you enjoy wearing a short hairstyle with fine hair, a significant cut is recommended to thicken fine hair at a 45° angle. The technique will give an instant, fuller, and voluminous look. We will cut the hair at this angle from your head, adding the body to a height higher at the top.

So, we will concentrate the bulkiness towards the top while gradually lessening it to give balance.

2. A Bob For Short/Medium Hair

Another style that helps thicken fine hair is the blunt yet graduated bob. Cutting the hair straight across one length creates density and volume.

The graduation to the front adds depth to create an illusion of fullness. Minimizing the layers, the hair bunches together for a bulkier look.

Still, less layering helps prevent the hair from looking sparse at the ends, a common concern with fine hair.

3. A Blunt Cut For Long Hair

The blunt cut works magic to thicken fine hair as it offers simplicity. We cut the bottom of your hair straight across to give it an even, sharp line.

This helps maintain the thickness of your hair as it condenses your strands, giving them a fuller appearance.

The reason is that you have fewer layers, allowing the strands to group together. With some delicate layering at your top section, it adds body to volume and does not thin out your hair too much.

Thicken Fine Hair With Highlights

Another way to achieve thicker hair is to add color to your strands. Incorporating lighter highlights makes a huge difference, creating an illusion of depth and texture.

We can strategically place highlights in different tones to form a multi-dimensional effect. The contrast between the darker and lighter tones emits a shadow, making your strands appear thicker.

Spray Powder For Thickening Fine Hair

Spray powders that match your hair color are another product that can fill your thinning areas. These sprays seamlessly blend in with your natural color. The powder adheres to the shaft, creating an illusion of denser, fuller hair while maintaining the natural appearance. They are ideal for concealing your grays, patchiness, and thinning areas.

3 Hair Care Routine Tips

In addition to the treatments above, following a hair care routine can also help boost hair thickness.

  1. Proper Washing: Always wash your hair with lukewarm water and massage your scalp to help stimulate blood flow for healthy hair growth.
  2. Towel Dry and Combing: When towel dry your hair, gently use a soft towel to prevent hair breakage. Use your wide-toothed comb to help detangle your hair, starting at the ends and working your way up.
  3. Avoid Heat Styling: We are not saying you must not style your hair, but avoid overdoing it. When you heat style your hair, use a heat protectant.

Eat a Healthy Diet

Following a hair care routine also helps to change your diet as it can help to thicken fine hair. Consider adding the following to your diet:

  • Eat foods rich in vitamins A, C, E, and Biotin, as they contribute to hair strength.
  • Eat hair-friendly foods like eggs, legumes, and lean meat. Also, get your omega-3 fatty acids from nuts and fish.
  • Drink a lot of water daily to keep your hair hydrated.

Using Natural Remedies

If you prefer to go the natural way, then the following tips are practical in making your hair thicker:

  • Massage essential oils like peppermint, rosemary, or lavender into the scalp. These oils help improve blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.
  • Using eggs, aloe vera gel, and avocado, you can create a DIY hair mask to improve the thickness of the hair.
  • Stimulate your scalp regularly with a massage using your fingertips to increase the blood flow.

Precautions and Warnings

While the above tips and methods are safe, you must follow them before using them. We recommend always doing a patch test before you try anything on your scalp to see if you get an allergic reaction.

Excessive heat styling can lead to breakage and thinning of your hair, and it is best to limit the use of heat styling tools and apply a heat-protectant product before styling.

Lastly, if you have underlying health conditions, we recommend you consult your healthcare professional before making dietary changes.

If you have fine hair, does it get greasy fast?
