If you're looking to give your fine or thin hair a boost without spending all your money on a head full of extensions, you're going to want to start with the right haircut. Ask your stylist for a volume-enhancing haircut, like an asymmetrical or blunt bob, says Sarah Lund, style master for Kevin Murphy. Asking your colorist for highlights that frame your face is another great way to fake fullness.
Once you have the right haircut, it's all about how you style it. Lund says you should always start by blow-drying thin locks. "Blow-drying allows you to 'set' your hair from wet to dry to create volume and longevity in your style," she says. "I recommend blow-drying with your hands, moving the hair around in all directions to get lots of movement and volume." Also remember that dry shampoo and volumizing powder can be your best friend: "Dry shampoo is designed to absorb oils while adding volume and texture," Lund adds. "And volumizing powder is the perfect tool for a quick pick-me-up during the day." As for teasing to make your hair look thicker, do it with care to avoid breakage: "Giving yourself a small lift off the roots is a good idea, just proceed with caution," says Lund. "Use a boar bristle teasing brush — I suggest no more than three swipes with the brush when teasing."
