Embrace layers

Layered hairstyles are a go-to choice for women with thinning hair. Layers add depth and texture to your hair, making it appear fuller and more voluminous. Opt for long, soft layers that frame your face and create movement. Avoid heavy, blunt cuts, as they can accentuate thinning areas.

Side-swept bangs

Side-swept bangs are a fantastic option for concealing a widening hair part and thinning at the temples. Sweep your bangs to the side to create a flattering, face-framing effect that draws attention away from thinning areas. This style adds volume and complements various hair lengths and textures.

Voluminous ponytail

A voluminous ponytail is a simple yet effective way to create the illusion of thicker hair. Start by teasing the crown of your head to add height and volume, then gather your hair into a high or mid-height ponytail. Use a soft hair tie to secure it in place, and gently tug on sections of hair to create a fuller, more voluminous look. This also helps to hide a widening hair part.

Styling products for volume
