The Best Hair Cuts for Fine Hairthumbnail
A crop haircut adds dimension to fine hair.

Fine hair can be difficult to style and care for, whether it's curly or straight. One of the key ways to become one with your hair is to have the right haircut for your hair's natural texture. Consult with a professional hairstylist before she starts cutting away. It is important you explain what you would like your haircut to do for you and give the stylist a glimpse of your lifestyle before the scissors touch your hair.

Start

The Bob

The bob is a great hairstyle for those with fine hair. Because hair can be made to look thick at the roots, the remaining hair can be texturized beneath the top layer for additional volume. This will be done with shears, or your stylist may use the razor-cutting technique. A deep side party looks current, and is easy to style.

This haircut works best for naturally straight or wavy hair, that will be straightened on a regular basis. To make this bob hairstyle exceptional, show off hair with an asymmetrical length. This puts extended length at the front (the longest length usually touching your jawbone) and gradually gets shorter at back.

The Lob

The "lob" is a longer length bob that usually skims at the shoulders. Because hair is fine, you do not want to go much longer than at or just below the shoulders. The longer hair is, the more likely it is to look fine and limp. Avoid that by keeping hair at the shoulders or higher. The lob is the ideal haircut for those with fine hair that do not want to sport short hair. The lob has the same look of long hair without the maintenance.

As with the bob, the lob will require some texturizing to add volume to hair. Side sweeping bangs or a middle part work with the lob. If you want to soften the face, request your stylist add a few long layers to create a frame.

The Crop

The crop is a short hairstyle, often executed with a shaggy look. It works best for those with wavy or curly hair, as hair should have some natural curl in order to fall properly. Hair is lightly layered throughout for movement. The idea is the classic bob with varying lengths which gives this haircut a more youthful and modern look.

This haircut is perfect for those who are a fan of their hair's natural texture and love the wash and go technique of styling hair. Simply add a bit of styling cream to hair, lightly blow dry and you're set.
