Celebrities modeled the best haircuts for thinning hair.
If you are a member of the Thin Hair Club, welcome. When it comes to haircuts that suit fine hair, two cuts reign supreme. However, within these two categories, there are countless hairstyles for fine hair that suit almost every hair type and face shape.
Take a look at celebrity hairstyles. There is a hairstyle for fine hair for you, modeled by one of the celebrities below.
This one seems to share some common DNA with Rachel. Seriously, this lob (long bob) is angled in the front and minimally layered throughout.
Eternal supermodel Naomi Campbell has never been afraid of an intense hairstyle. This blunt bob (with basically zero layers) is the perfect option for those with straight or relaxed hair that isn't thick: the angles are intense and require grooming, but it's also a dramatic, face-framing work of art.
Thin hair doesn't have to be short. Olivia Wilde proves that a deep side part allows the hair to flow to one side for a dramatic effect. If you have straight hair, curl it with a curling iron to create fullness and movement.
J.Lo seems to dislike long hairstyles, but loves short, simple hairstyles. A deep side part with volume on the top and right side, plus layers framing the face. Very chic.
When Halle Berry wears her hair a little longer than traditional pixie hair (and curls). Her hair is still quite short in this, but the long layers on top give the illusion of volume.
We thin-haired girls, we'll let you in on a little secret: we don't like to wear our hair long, and we don't like to wear it short. But Alyssa Milano's cut, with its curtain bangs and long layers, gives the illusion of lots of hair.
For straight or relaxed hair, a simple one-length cut is actually very chic. Mindy Culling creates movement by sweeping the ends outward.
This haircut by Natalie Portman is very low maintenance. It is long and almost looks one-colored, but it is slightly wavy toward the ends for visual interest. The finer the hair, the more layers you'll want to add, but there's no need to overthink it, especially if it's long.
Alexa Chung has long been an icon of thinning hair and admits that her layers are minimal. She may add curls and layers (as seen here), but on closer inspection, her hair is mostly one-length (with some angled bangs).
Bangs are a lot of fun, including for us thin-haired girls. At Nicole Richie, instead of blunt, stiff bangs, she has soft, angled bangs like the rest of her hair, with long layers and highlights to add dimension. (Highlights are another great way to make hair look fuller, and the hair is a great way to add dimension.)
Don't let thin hair make you think that platinum blonde is impossible. Selma Blair, like many of us with thin hair, has a side part to add volume on top. The cut is very, very straight, but long enough to run behind the ears. Hair gel holds everything in place.
Kate Middleton has a very simple strategy for giving her long hair bounce and shine (her hair is always incredibly healthy, with medium to large barrel curls towards the ends). Then, she adds shorter layers that frame her face for extra flair.
I appreciate Sarah Jessica Parker's constant trial and error (she has gone for natural gray hair, as in her role in "And Selfishly," and she's had several wavy hairstyles over the years). But a simple straight style, with lots of highlights to give it dimension, makes it look long and bushy.
Kudos to Sally Field for her natural hair (I assume) color. She keeps it short, adds lots of layers and bangs, and adds a bit of curl. Matching eyewear and hair style is also an advanced technique.
If you have thin hair, curls definitely help to add volume and bounce. However, there is no need to immediately add tons of short layers, as Christina Milian has shown us here. By adding longer layers and styling the curls close to the head, a soft but striking shape can be achieved.
I always like how Emma Stone doesn't add too much "emphasis" to her hair. She has thinner hair, but it always looks healthy (and enriched by the auburn color). She just keeps everything long and adds curls at the end, which is all she really needs.
If you want to be bold with thin hair, make Kristen Stewart your North Star (she has given us many cool, edgy looks over the years). Her hair is beautifully swept to one side in a deep side part, with loose curls for volume.
The blunt cut is a lot of fun and actually looks great on fine hair (it doesn't hit the dreaded "hair triangle" that thick hair tends to have). Rashida Jones contrasts the straight cut with soft, angled bangs.
Sharon Stone's pixie makes short hair look effortless. The highlights and lowlights make her hair look thicker, and the angled bangs amazingly enhance her face. For naturally gray hair, try mixing natural colors.
Emma Watson is perhaps best known for her post-"Harry Potter" pixie cut, but she has worn her long hair to great effect since then. This fringe-inspired look has an almost '70s vibe to it. There are probably a lot of layers throughout, but especially in the bangs.
If you like Charlize Theron's hair in general, she has given us plenty of thin hair inspiration during her long career. This may actually be an asymmetrical cut with a long layer on one side to match her deep side part.
Michelle Williams' pixie is the stuff of legend. There is a good reason why she often sticks with this particular hairstyle, and it suits her beautifully. It needs to be cut every few weeks (especially the bangs), but the payoff is beautiful.
Viola Davis has tried every cut under the sun. This relaxed but curly long bob is a subtle but deeply flattering option. Obviously smaller, tighter curls take longer to achieve (with a good curling iron), but the resulting volume is top-notch.
Cate Blanchett's hair is soft, wavy, and not very dense (and I say this as someone with very similar hair). Layers and curls help to keep fine hair from feeling "flat." Cutting it shorter is another important way to maintain volume and definition.
When Helen Mirren chose to go gray, many applauded. Gray or light gray hair can be styled to look like blonde hair. With the right hair products, it can be shiny, and by shortening the cut and adding layers, volume can be created.
This cut by Laura Harrier is as straight as possible, with no layers and a lot of gel to bring out this smooth, chic look. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you like the "wet" look of your own hair and have time to gently tousle the ends, go for it.
Margot Robbie is not afraid to show off her naturally thinning hair. She wears her hair long in the back, with lots of long layers in the front. The bangs frame the face without sacrificing the length of the hair in the back. Please.
When Zoë Saldanha showed off this lob haircut, we thin-haired fans squealed with delight. The curls underneath make the cut look more voluminous. And it grows really, really well.
You might assume (and sometimes you'd be right) that a center part makes thin hair look thinner. But Sandra Bullock shows us how to do it: straighten the hair evenly and "match" the severity of the parting. It's one long piece of hair that flows from side to side.
Another Taylor Swift doesn't necessarily opt for enormous extensions, but she relies on a great cut (including these side puffy bangs), layers, curling irons, and just a touch of three-dimensional color to make her hair look thicker than it is! . Kudos to her.
Zoë Kravitz has us all with pixie hair envy (ask a very skilled hairstylist when considering a short short cut). That micro bang is super cute, but it doesn't look good on everyone. (It can actually work with thin hair, but it depends on the texture and face shape.)
Keira Knightley has been honest about hair loss and the need to wear wigs for roles to make her hair stronger. Here, I have layered it and used a curling iron to give it a gentle wave, but I'm not trying to make it voluminous. I like it very much.
