here is the best haircut of all to boost their volume, according to a hairstylist

When the thin hair lack volume at the roots, you can have your hair cut to several different lengths to restore volume to this area which makes all the difference, by opting for example for the ideal short cut with fine and thinning hair which is recommended by hairdressers, or by lightening your long cut by moving to mid-length so that the lengths weigh less heavily on the roots and stop flattening them. It is also essential to avoid certain ingredients in shampoos that accentuate hair loss, otherwise they will worsen the problem.

That being said, when the hair is very thin and the hair lacks body over its entire length, not all of the hairdressers’ subterfuges work as well as each other. When it comes to haircuts, Michele Antiga, expert hairdresser for the Gielly Green show interviewed by Stylist UK, particularly recommends in these cases a very specific square cut: the “micro bob”. As the hairdresser assures, “it’s a perfect style for fine hair” the most complex to enhance, even if it is entirely possible to wear it with thicker hair. For him, it’s sure, it’s the best volumizing haircut of all those that exist to highlight very fine hair.

Fine hair: the micro bob, the ideal volumizing bob cut for a volume effect throughout the hair

Among all the existing bob cuts, this volumizing bob is one of the shortest among the short bobs, hence its name micro bob. Hairstylist Michele Antiga describes the micro bob as “a very short bob that sits at the hairline at the back and above the jawline at the front”. The details of this bob cut can then vary according to your wishes. It is possible to have a micro bob with a straight line but tapered ends, or to opt for an ultra short bob embellished with a pronounced gradient which creates several “layers of hair” in the short lengths.

If this type of very short bob is perfect when you have difficulty boosting the volume of your fine hair (especially at the strands and ends and not only at the roots), it is because the hair tends to to be a little thicker at the roots, where they are “younger” and have not yet been damaged by coloring, styling, nor been subject to breakage. By enhancing the thickest area of ​​the hair, the micro square makes the most of your fine hair. Very simply, it cuts short the most damaged and thinned area of ​​the hair which is the ends, and sometimes the mid-lengths.

Fine hair: how to style your ultra short bob to boost its volume?

Good news, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to styling your hair since “this type of square is magnificent in many finishes”, according to the hairdresser. With straight hair, avoid wand straightening, which is possible but which would harm the volumizing effect of the haircut, and instead favor blow-drying with a round brush in order to properly lift the roots and give them volume, while flattering small strands giving them a plumper appearance. For those with curly hair, this mini bob cut is an opportunity to let natural curls flourish, which are perfect for boosting volume.

Finally, if you have straight or soft hair and you want to style it in a different way, by curling your hair, salon expert Gielly Green advises favoring soft waves which will bring movement and create an impression of thickness over the entire length, but without shortening the strands of the bob too much, or giving it a ball appearance which would be less flattering. You have the choice : “from elegant waves to more natural undone waves or light curls”.
