The Top Haircuts for Thinning Hair

Tip No. 5: The Top Haircuts for Thinning Hair

Having a well maintained cut is a great way to minimize the appearance of thinning hair. Along with the style, having it cut every 3 months is imperative to keep hair looking its fullest. The following is a list of haircuts that work well with thinning hair. Be sure to go through each one with your stylist to decide if it will work with your face shape. If it does, your stylist should suggest a way to customize the cut so that it minimizes your problem areas and flatters your face.

• A great cut to add thickness to hair

• The bob should not end at the widest part of your face- diamond and square shaped faces should opt for a longer shoulder length bob, ovals can work any length, and round faces should go for longer asymmetrical bob styles

• Have your stylist give the ends texture for a choppy, fashion forward look that will give your hair movement and dimension

• Graduated bobs (as seen on Victoria Beckham) work well for thinning hair as they give extra volume in the back and slimming longer pieces in the front.

• Works well for women who do not have thin patches on top of the head and are looking to add more movement and dimension to all over thinning hair

• Ask your stylist for a shoulder skimming haircut with lots of layers all over

• Keep the ends blunt but texturized (the stylist will cut ‘chunks’ into the hair so that the ends are uneven) to allow you to play around with it and add volume through the layers

• Add a long side swept fringe for a cut to suit all face types, or a straight fringe to flatter heart and diamond shape faces

 Cap CutThe Cap Cut

• A great cut that can easily hide thin areas on the crown

• The cap cut is a short, layered haircut that is a good option for those who like wash and style hair

• Ask your stylist to give you lots of texture and playful layers that can be worn ‘messy ’- a well layered cut will allow you to play around with the part and mask thinning areas

• Works well with oval, diamond and round face shapes

 Things to Avoid

• If a bob or a cap cut just isn’t you, talk with your stylist about what other options will work- remember, if you don’t feel 100% confident with a new haircut then it’s not worth changing your style

• Haircuts where the stylist relies heavily on thinning shears to give it a sleek look will not work for thinning hair

• If you have curly or wavy hair, the haircut must work with your natural texture – cap cuts and bobs will not work for very curly hair. Don’t invest in a cut that can only be worn if you flat iron your hair into place, it must work with the natural state of your hair
