Haircuts are a great way to make your hair look thicker, especially if you have fine or thin hair. With the right hairstyle and styling techniques, you can create the illusion of fuller, healthier hair.

Along with a regular hair care regimen, such as to use hair oil regularly and to apply hair cream, one can focus on some haircuts that can make the hair look thicker. Here are some haircuts that are designed to make your hair look thicker:

Layers

Adding layers to your hair can create volume and thickness, especially if the layers are cut at the right length and angle. Long layers that start at the collarbone and gradually get shorter toward the ends will create a voluminous look. If you have thin hair, consider adding choppy layers for added texture and body.

Bob

A classic bob haircut can make your hair look thicker, especially if it’s cut to chin length or just below. Adding layers around the face will create movement and texture, giving the illusion of fuller hair. Consider getting a graduated bob with longer layers in the front and shorter layers in the back for maximum volume.

Pixie Cut

A pixie cut is a great option if you want a shorter haircut that still makes your hair look thick. A pixie cut with textured tips will give your hair a full, voluminous look. Adding bangs to a pixie cut can also make your hair look thicker.

Shag

A shag haircut is a great option if you want a long haircut that still makes your hair look thick. A shag haircut is characterized by a layered fringe. This haircut creates movement and volume, giving the illusion of thicker hair.

Long Layers

If you have long hair and want to make it look thicker, consider adding long layers. Long layers that start at the collarbone and gradually get shorter towards the ends will create volume and thickness. Adding choppy layers to the ends of your hair will create movement, making your hair look thicker.

Curls

If you have curly hair, embracing your natural consistency can make your hair look thicker. A haircut that enhances your curls will give your hair volume and thickness, making it look fuller and healthier. If you have fine, curly hair, consider getting a haircut that is shorter in the back and longer in the front, as this will create volume and thickness at the crown.

Along with the right haircut, there are also several styling techniques that can make your hair look thicker. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner: A volumizing shampoo and conditioner can help add volume and thickness to your hair, making it look fuller and healthier.
  • Blow dry your hair upside down: Blow dry your hair upside down can create volume and thickness at the roots, making your hair look fuller and healthier.
  • Use a root-lifting spray: A root-lifting spray can help add volume and thickness to your hair, especially at the roots.
  • Tease your hair: Teasing your hair at the roots can create volume and thickness, making your hair look fuller and healthier.

Consider trying one of the haircuts mentioned above and incorporating these styling tips into your routine for a thick, voluminous look.
