For those of us with thin and limp strands, achieving those bouncy, voluminous waves seems like a true challenge. This is because thin hair is lightweight, which makes it difficult to hold the hair place.

But before you accept your thin, limp hair and relegate to leading a life without bouncy, shiny hair, hear us out. We’ve rounded up super useful tips that will transform your boring, lifeless locks into bouncy, voluminous tresses. Excited? Scroll down to read these tips.

 

Opt for a short hair length

Opt for a short hair length

If you have thin and limp strands, the longer your strands are, the thinner they will appear. Why? Simply because the length will weigh them down. Therefore, cutting your hair short will give your limp strands more thickness, body and volume. Also, having blunt, uniform ends give the illusion of more volume and make your hair appear thicker.
