The 5 Best Volumising Haircuts for Thin Hair
1. The Textured Pixie
“Emma Stone’s new pixie cut is the perfect example of how short hair can still pack a punch,” says Cusick. “By keeping the top layers slightly longer and textured, you create height and movement, which gives the illusion of thicker hair. Plus, the shorter sides draw attention upward, adding even more volume at the crown.”
This look is bang on trend, and is perfect for anyone with fine or thin hair who is thinking about going shorter this year. “Fine hair is perfect for creating textured pixie cuts with more length on the top,” adds hairstylist and hair care expert, Chloe Swift. “[This cut] allows you to style and add volume and shape.”
