Which haircut for fine hair?
Layered haircuts can also bring more fullness to fine hair – especially if they are slightly wavy. If you have fine but lots of hair, you can have wafer-thin layers cut under the top hair. These shorter “support hairs” give the hairstyle more body. You have to try out whether steps in the lengths help, they look raggedy on some.

If you want to give your hairstyle more glamor, blow-dry your hair with a large round brush – this also gives volume to the hairline (always let it cool down well when blow-drying).
What hair color for thin hair?
Dyeing is also a good idea, because the coloring ensures that the hair looks a bit fuller. Nevertheless, one should make sure to dye the hair gently. Due to the resulting color depths and different nuances, highlights optically simulate more fullness. If you are dark blonde, you can, for example, use light blonde highlights (babylights or balayage are particularly natural), if you are brunette, you can go with dark red or light brown nuances. Exciting blonde tones such as platinum blonde, ash blonde or golden blonde also look great – whether as highlights or uniform coloring.
Blow dry fine hair properly
With the right blow-drying technique, we can give fine hair an extra dose of volume.
And this is how it works: Apply some volume spray to the towel-dried roots and blow-dry almost dry on medium heat. Separate a strand and twist it a little under tension. Set the highest heat level and dry the hairline from a distance of about ten centimetres. Keep the tension the whole time. Lift the round brush slightly and blow-dry the strands from below until they get nice and warm. Then switch on the cold setting of the hair dryer and let the brush cool down in the hair for a few minutes. Do the same for all other hairlines. Finally, rub some styling cream in your hands and gently rub it over your head.
The right care for fine hair
Even if the actual thickness of the hair cannot be influenced: we can achieve a lot with the right care. Then If thin hair is improperly cared for, it quickly looks greasy and lifeless.

New volume shampoos try to achieve exactly this balance between gentle cleaning and easy care. Blonde hair in particular is often fine. If they are also colored, we should wash them with a special shampoo for blonde hair.
