Do you have baby fine, thin or limp hair? You can make it look thicker and fuller in just a few steps.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Get a blunt haircut. Thin hair always looks better kept no longer than shoulder length. Ends tend to look spindly longer than that and the weight of your hair will only make it look thinner. Get a good haircut from someone who knows how to work with thin hair. Bangs look good and can help frame the face. One trick to avoiding too blunt of a look is to take 1/4-inch strands of your bangs and twist. While holding hair in a twisted position cut up into ends about 1/8 inch. Move on to the next 1/4-inch strand and continue this process around all bangs. It will give a softer look to the face.

  2. Step 2

    Condition only the ends. No matter what hair care products you use and what those products claim, conditioner all over your head will weigh your hair down, making it look thinner.

  3. Step 3

    Blow-dry your hair upside down. Do this by bending over, then pointing the heat of your blow dryer at the roots of your hair. Don't use too hot of a heat setting as it will cause excess oil, another disaster to thin hair.
