here is the ideal short cut to wear to give them volume, according to a hairstylist

We are often helpless when we realize that we have the thinning hair following hair loss, and we do not always know what length of hair to go for camouflage bald areas. You now know the best bob cut to wear with thinning hair, but if you are wondering if going for a short cut is a solution: don’t hesitate any longer! “Short hair with thinning hair is indeed a good idea as it gives an illusion of more volume,” in fact, Lorraine Charbonnier assures us, hairdresser and trainer for Franck Provost.

The expert specifies that by cutting your hair short, you also cut certain complexes short, because it not only brings lightness, but also helps to better define the volumes. However, she specifies that it is essential to pay attention to “choose a short cut that matches the shape of the face so as not to unbalance the whole”. In this game, it’s “pixie cut” who is “ideal for fine and thinning hair as it gives an illusion of volume”, specifies the hairdresser. And for good reason, she has the gift of harmonizing with all face shapes.

Thinning hair: how to adopt the pixie cut according to your body type?

To camouflage the lack of density, Lorraine Charbonnier recommends “favor cuts with texture, movement, asymmetry” like the pixie cut. This hairstyle, which focuses on an asymmetrical effect with layered hair and more volume on top, is also a key hairstyle trend for spring-summer 2024. We take advantage of it! The hairdresser, however, suggests customizing it with certain face shapes that require a more elaborate haircut to be enhanced.

• To refine round facesshe recommends “to add volume on top to give this impression of height which elongates the face”. She adds that it is also possible to embellish the pixie cut with a strand to structure the face, which will “bring him sweetness”.
• To soften square facesthe expert encourages favoring “asymmetrical lines” which enable “to soften the angles” of the face. She warns that it is necessary “avoid framing the face at the risk of marking the angles”. Adding height will recreate softness to the face.
• As for the elongated facesshe explains that it is necessary “bring substance to the sides of the face” in order to rebalance them. “This visually creates the illusion of a fuller face” she notes.

Short thinning hair: how to style it to boost its volume?

As stated Lorraine Charbonnier, styling begins with washing your hair, making sure to use a volumizing shampoo which will help create an illusion of density. This type of double action cleansing product “allows the material to be sheathed and the volume to be optimized” before even moving on to the hairdressing stage. A major asset in case of fine and thinning hair. After shampooing, expert Franck Provost recommends first of all “dry your hair upside down to loosen the roots”. Another essential gesture to promote volume on the top of the head without difficulty.

Then, the hairdresser warns that you should avoid using the straightener to discipline your short locks, “at the risk of having a hairstyle that is too flat, which will bring out the sparse side”. On the other hand, one should not hesitate to make use of “texturizing products such as mousses and volume sprays to add body to the hair”. To perfect the result, you can even combine them with styling products such as fixing sprays, wax or hairspray, to add a little more substance and volume to your thinning short hair. This makes all the difference in concealing areas of thinning hair.
