Get yourself a bob

We usually tend to equate fullness of the hair with its length, but shorter cuts such as bobs and lobs make your hair look a lot thicker and more voluminous. These lengths provide a lot of volume and body as they sit perfectly around the collarbone and shoulder area. Plus, the added bonus is that as the hair grows, it naturally pushes the hair up for more fullness and volume.

Add some layers

If going short with your hair is not really your thing, then here’s something you are going to love. An easy way to add volume without losing the length is cutting your hair in layers. Ask your stylist to cut only a few layers as this will add more movement and make your locks appear thicker.

Style them in soft waves

Fine haired girls, here’s a tip you want to pay close attention to. Adding simple, soft waves to your tresses can add lots of body creating an illusion of more volume. Loose waves are easily created with a curling iron or by sleeping with your hair fastened in loose braids, which you can shake out in the morning and further texturise with a sea salt spray.
