We all have hair problems—frizz, dryness, split ends—but when you have fine or thinning hair, your biggest enemy is lack of volume.
And did you know that the wrong haircut can make your strands look lifeless and dull? This is where changing your hairstyle comes in. While a foolproof haircare routine is important, a hairstyle suited for your hair density still makes a ton of difference.
Below, we gathered the best A-list hairstyles to inspire your next salon sesh!
1. Sydney Sweeney’s Sleek Waves

2. Maisy Stella’s Half Ponytail
While any ponytail hairstyle can be daunting for those with fine or thin hair, actress Maisy Stella proves you can still make it work for you!
Of course, Maisy used our Cream Blonde Halo to give her mane a boost, but with or without hair extensions this can still be a beautiful hairstyle for you.
A messy, half-up ponytail with a face-framing fringe works best for thinning hair as it adds body and movement to your locks.
Tip for Thin Hair: Don’t make the half-ponytail too perfect. The “messier” or “undone” it looks the better as this gives your hair extra texture.

3. Cara Delevingne’s Deep Side Part
Wearing your hair in the same part for a long period of time can place a strain on the strands, making it more prone to breakage—aka, traction damage.
Move it around and try a deep side part like Cara’s, so your weakened hair can rest and have time to get stronger.
With your new part, you can try different hairstyles as well, like a straight lob.
Tip for Thin Hair: We know tapered ends are best for hair that’ll wear hair extensions, but if you don’t plan to wear one so much, have your ends cut in a blunt way. Blunt ends instantly create the illusion of healthier, thicker hair!

Full bangs not only add visual interest to your face and hairstyle, they also add volume to balance out the thinness or flatness of your hair. Use a hot brush or straightener to style it so it falls beautifully no matter how much you move.
Tip for Thin Hair: Avoid cutting your bangs too thick. Ask your hairstylist for full, blunt bangs with face-framing layers so the grow-out still looks gorgeoua.
