Finding a great haircut for fine hair can make all the difference—it can add volume, enhance texture and create the illusion of thicker hair. The trick? Picking a style that works with the natural texture of your hair.
We’ve rounded up some of the best, trendiest haircuts for women over 40 with fine hair designed to give you fuller, more fabulous locks.
1. Blunt Bob
A blunt bob is perfect for fine hair—it creates sharp, clean lines that make hair appear thicker and fuller. Bonus: it’s versatile enough to be styled any way you want.
2. Curtain Bangs With Layers
Curtain bangs and subtle layers create a soft face-framing look. This combo makes your hair look light and gives it lift and movement.
3. Soft Shag
The soft shag has both texture and volume. With layered, feathery ends, this cut gives fine hair a trendy lived-in look without weighing it down.
4. Long Pixie Cut
A long pixie cut is versatile, low-maintenance and great for creating texture and volume that fine hair needs.
5. Long Layers
Want to keep your length but add some oomph? Long layers give fine hair lift and flow, especially when styled with a blowout or loose waves.
6. Textured Lob
The textured lob is a shoulder-length style perfect if your hair needs body and volume. Add some loose waves to instantly create a fuller look.
7. Butterfly Cut
The butterfly cut combines short crown layers with long, flowing ends. It creates the illusion of density but your hair stays soft and lightweight.
8. Pixie Shag
The pixie shag is a fun mix of cropped and choppy layers. It’s bold, edgy and adds dynamic texture to fine hair resulting in a fuller look.
9. Layered Midi Cut
Sitting just above the shoulders, the layered midi cut is long enough to be versatile but short enough to stay light. The layers add shape and body to fine hair.
10. Textured Pixie
A textured pixie uses uneven, feathered layers to create volume and lift at the roots, making fine hair appear thicker.
