Easy Short Hairstyles for Fine Hair

A few minutes with your curling iron can give your fine hair the volume that it needs. By creating beach waves for short hair, you give your flat locks some movement without making it look like you tried too hard.

Editor’s tip: Before curling your hair, make sure you spritz TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray on your hair. It acts as a shield that protects your strands from heat. It also helps tame frizz so you get a smooth hairstyle.

2. Messy textured pixie cut

Making a thin pixie cut look thicker seems impossible, but it can be done. With a curling iron or a flat iron, create C-shaped sections to give your pixie cut some texture and body. Seal with hairspray, and no more thin, flat hair!

Editor’s tip: Make your short hairstyles for fine hair last by finishing with TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray. It’s humidity-resistant so it won’t let your hair down. Meanwhile, its lightweight formula won’t leave a sticky residue on your hair.

3. Bob with side-swept bangs

If you have fine hair, go for a chin-length bob because it creates an illusion of fullness around the backside of the hair. The side-swept bangs also add that extra oomph for a fuller look.

4. Tucked bob with blunt bangs

This bob with its inner curved ends will give you the impression of a head full of thick and bouncy hair. This look works well with women who have petite faces.

5. Messy layered bob

Second-day hair can be an advantage for women with fine hair. Just a few spritzes of sea salt spray followed by curling or scrunching your hair can give you a fuller-looking, messy-chic hairstyle.

6. Simple medium layered hair with laid back waves

The medium collar bone length hair with light layers is a breeze to maintain. Having soft waves also add volume to make your mane appear full and thick.

The straight top from this jaw-length cut initially gives you a sleek look but then gradually achieves a voluminous form thanks to its curled tips. This style is playful but still easy to manage.

10. Long pixie cut with parted bangs

This short hairstyle for fine hair is a little bit easier to pull off than a short pixie cut style. And the long parted bangs emit a much needed feminine vibe.

11. Wavy bob with deep side part

When you don’t have a lot of time to style your hair, parting your hair deeply on one side can make it look thicker. You can place a bobby pin or hair clip on the side with less hair. Waves can add more volume, but again, if you’re pressed for time, a deep side part will do.
