For many years, cutting thin hair to the shoulders has remained relevant for many women. Unfortunately, the thick hair of nature did not reward everyone, but someone thinned their hair after giving birth and feeding the baby. Short haircuts that look so good on thin hair are not suitable for everyone. At the same time, professionals also do not advise to grow length. If you want to wear long hair, it is better to use overhead strands.
But shoulder length is the best option. Usually such hair is capricious, does not fit well and does not hold a hairstyle. A good hairdresser will advise you to make a competent haircut, which increases the volume and does not require special care. In addition, this length allows you to perform many hairstyles, which can not be said about short hair.
What haircuts fit thin hair
The principles for creating a haircut in this case differ from the classical recommendations. Why you should refuse them requires an explanation. Here are some reasons:
- Any thinning of the ends will make the already liquid strands completely unsightly. Therefore, thinning in areas where hair density is insufficient should not be done.
- To increase the volume, the crown area should be shorter than the main canvas. Often, stylists boldly clean the length in this area and leave strands five to six centimeters long.
- Layered haircuts forming a ladder are a consequence of the previous paragraph. The more layers the master can form, the better. And care for such a hairstyle is simple - regular washing and masks.
There are popular haircuts for thin hair for volume. These are the ones that create a round silhouette due to short locks that are easy to stack. Bangs, temporal zone, fringing can be up to the shoulders. The main thing is that the length in the parietal and occipital areas is gone. Short curls hold elasticity well and visually add splendor to the hairstyle.
Structuring a haircut
Without creating a rich structure, the most profitable haircut will be in vain. It is performed, for example, in a bob-car - the length of the hair in the back of the head is different from the rest. In this case, the hairstyle itself fits into a beautiful shape. This is achieved by the method of pulling the strands at certain angles when shearing to get a beautiful soft transition length.
Now for all haircuts on thin hair to the shoulders, stylists recommend performing the so-called velvet transition. The master is able to predict how this or that part of the hairstyle will behave after the mousse and styling. And only naturally wavy hair does not need such an operation - it can only be easily graded to lighten curls. Then they themselves will take the desired shape after washing their hair. The cascade will occupy the upper part of the head, while the lower strands will remain intact.
The final look will give the hairstyle texture - perm, long-term styling or dyeing in strands. The use in the coloring of four very similar in gamma tones will lead to the effect of depth and density of the thinnest and rarest hair. The photo above demonstrates the effect achieved by proper staining.
Which bang to choose
Hairdressers consider the formation of bangs a separate haircut. Why? Because all neighboring zones participate in it, and this is almost the entire area of the head, except the back of the head. Incorrect allocation of parting will lead to a gross violation of the overall impression of the haircut, it will require harmonization of these areas.
For women with problematic hair, bangs can become an accent: give extra volume or emphasize the strict geometry of the lines. She will pay attention to her eyes and veil a wide forehead. Asymmetric bangs will distract from insufficiently thick hair. A slanting will add volume on the side of the head where it is combed.
Often with a long bang, they choose a short temple, parting is done very low and combing everything on the opposite side. It looks avant-garde, but suitable only for young women. But aged ladies can use perm, and the oblique bangs in this case will be beautifully laid to one side.
Haircuts for thin hair: top 5 haircuts

Bean
“Bob Line” refers to the oval area at the back of the head. It really resembles the rounded end of a bean. The hair is cut with a 45 degree brace and forms a beautiful nape line. Bob is so capable of increasing the occipital volume that he is not recommended for some head shapes.
The above photos of haircuts for thin hair to the shoulders - various variations of the basic model of bob. An elongated bean has long strands on the face that can be curled or straightened with an iron. This is the famous hairstyle of Lera Kudryavtseva. This season, an asymmetry is made, in which, while maintaining the classic bean line, one side of the facial strands is shorter than the other. This option is suitable for both straight and curly hair. The long strand to the collarbone is relevant.
Asymmetrical bob - a fashionable haircut for thin hair, especially the grunge version. Artificially disheveled and locked in this position, the curls intersect throughout the head. Often choose a slanting bangs that complement the grunge style.
Square
This haircut does not go out of fashion. Variations constantly appear that affect the bangs, the appearance of the edging - straight or rounded, as well as the occipital zone. An interesting graduated square is a gradual, layered, trimmed field of the occipital part. Thanks to this technique, the hair volume increases, but the overall pattern of the caret remains. Of course, a professional’s hand is needed here so that the ladder is not visible. The transition should be velvet.
Very thin and sparse hair looks great in clear geometric lines - cut under the ruler of the bangs, the same edging of the lower part. This option for cutting thin hair to the shoulders reveals the face, so eye makeup is performed especially carefully. Shine to the hair will add additional care, this will distract from a small volume of hair. This is a choice of ladies of elegant age. Do not neglect the coloring, which adds radiance and depth.
Cascade
This haircut has the shortest hair in the crown zone (in the classic version they are 15 centimeters), gradually increasing the length to the edging line. Bangs and temporal lining are performed separately and may vary. Often, the front of the haircut resembles a page model, it can also have a slanting bang.
This is a very profitable haircut for thin hair to the shoulders: the layers that the master forms add splendor. In addition, it allows you to change the parting, make a zigzag from the strands and responds well to the increase in basal volume with the help of a corrugation. If an asymmetric version of the cascade is chosen, it will not need to be corrected often.
On this base, staining with contrasting strands looks very nice. There is even a fashion for certain types of cascading staining.
Page
This is not the case when adding volume. However, with the help of curling the fringing part and bangs, you can create a beautiful line. But if you need a haircut on thin hair for volume, especially at the roots, a classic page will not work. But its variant is widespread, in which a slight graduation is cut out on the back of the head, which does not go down to the edge, like a square, remaining in the back of the head. This haircut is a good basis for hairstyles.
Pixy
A feature of such a haircut is the distribution of the main volume. He does not go below the earlobe. Long pixies are strands from the parietal or occipital part of the head, which are combed to one side. Haircut favorably emphasizes the bend of the neck and the line of the chin. This is an uneven silhouette, dominated by vertically placed or crossed strands. Looks very good on young girls.
Pixies are always worn with styling mousse, which is performed on a clean head. You have to constantly correct the locks of the master. The real pixies are long, closing eyebrows and eyes, strands. Not everyone will like this option.
On medium hair, a hat is cut off at the back of the head and a strand is lowered from one side to the collarbone. Often in an asymmetric pixie, one side of the head is specially cut very short, shaved, made drawings. This is the most avant-garde of all fashionable haircuts for thin and rare hair.
