According to Allure, a sharp bob haircut can do wonders for thin hair that falls flat. “All the hair that is at the bottom gets cut off so it will have the most density and look super chic,” hairstylist Jennifer Yepez told the outlet. However, make sure your stylist “never use a razor unless it’s a straight edge and never use[s] any thinning shears.”

The outlet explains that light layers can gently frame the face while volumizing your tresses. A lob with slight layers can give your look more mobility, just make sure to avoid chopping off too much. Lastly, the ends should still be straight instead of feathered to avoid a flat look.
As for night-out styles, a classic half-up, half-down option helps to provide lift for your strands without a trip to the salon. Byrdie recommends tying a bun or ponytail about halfway up your head. Start by spraying volumizing product at your root and blow-drying your strands away from your scalp. When tying the bun, tease your hair first before you pull it back, the outlet recommends.
Between getting your ends cut at a blunt angle and finding a few techniques to frame your face, your thin locks can look thicker in no time — no extensions required.
