Make Your Thin Hair Fat

By Helen Wang

The days where thin hair was basically a style death sentence is over. All it takes is a little creativity and self-education to make your thin hair look stylish, thick, and healthy.

It just takes the right style, cut, and care to get the hair you want even if it is thin.

What is fine hair, though? Not everyone knows exactly what is meant by thin hair, so be sure you know what hair you have before you try to style it.

There is also a definite difference between thin hair and fine hair, which will make a difference in your style.

Fine is a reference to the diameter of each single strand. You hair can still be fine even if you have a lot of hair on your head.

Thick or thin hair is in reference to how much hair you have. If you do have fine hair, though, you will be susceptible to thin hair as well. Medication, age, stress, and diet can also have an impact on the thickness or fineness of your hair.

5 Haircuts for Thin Hair where You can Make Your Thin Hair Fat

Just getting the right haircut is the first way to make your thin hair fat or looking thicker. There are five haircuts that serve the thin and fine hair types best. Of course, you will have to think about which look is best for both your hair type and the shape of your face, though

Blob Haircut

The first cut to think about is the bob haircut. There are many variations to this style, but no matter which one you choose, a bob will tend to make your hair look much thicker and healthier.

With a fuller face, a longer bob will work better, so you will have to figure out which is best for you.

Chop Haircut

The next cut you might think about is the chop. This is a basic bob-length hair style only with irregular ends. The chop will give sparse and thin hair style and shape that will be easy for you to maintain as well.

With chop haircut, you will get shape and style that always give hair more body.

Cap Haircut

The third style is a cap cut. This will work best if you have a very petite or oval shaped face. This all bangs look will give your hair body without taking away all the length. Its not for everyone, but it is a good look for the right face.

Crop Haircut

Another popular cut for those with thin or fine hair is the crop. A crop is any short, tapered haircut.

There are problems with this haircut, however; if you are over 45, it can do unflattering things to your chin and neckline. Also, the crop will put focus on your eyes, so flawed skin may draw more attention with a crop.

Mid-length Look Haircut

Not everyone wants to chop off all their length, so a good alternative to the short cuts is a lightly layered mid-length look. Just brushing the shoulder, this look is on a slightly diagonal-forward moving line at the sides.

Then, a few light layers help provide volume after drying of the hair.

Instead of a cut and in addition to a cut that will help your hair to appear thicker, there are technological advances that will allow you to thicken your hair.

The latest focus has been on ways to fatten up individual strands of hair. Initially, these products used proteins that were infused into the cortex of the hair to fatten it.

However, the problem was some got really sticky if you over used it, but it did work.

Now, there are newer and improved hair thickeners and most even come in complete lines so that you will have a thickening shampoo, conditioner, and styles so that you get triple treatment on thin, fine, or thinning hair.

As with anything, some work better than others, so you will want to shop around for the ones that work best for you.

It does not mean that with thin, thinning, or fine hair, you can't have healthy and thick looking hair. The key is to acknowledge what your hair type is and stick to styles, cuts, and products that will help you look your best.

If unsure, consult a hair stylist on what might be the best looking haircut, and shop around for the right hair care products for you or choose a hairstyle to make your thin hair fat if desired.

With the right treatment, care, and style you can have a thick full look with your hair.
