If you have fine hair, you’re definitely not stuck with the same uninspiring cuts people often recommend. There are countless ways to give your locks some extra oomph and make it look fuller.
Love your long hair? You can achieve more volume and movement by taking just a few inches off and still keep the flexibility of longer strands. Shoulder-length haircuts for fine hair can add texture and body without weighing your hair down.
Let’s check out all the ways you can boost your hair’s volume and texture.
1. Shoulder-Length Haircut With Bangs
Need more volume? Try shoulder-length hair with long, sliced layers. It has soft, subtle texture and stops fine hair from falling flat, which means more body and lift at the crown. Wispy bangs are the final touch that makes this look airy and light.
2. Textured Midi Cut
A textured midi cut boosts body in fine hair with texturizing layers that give a natural fuller look, and the effect is even more intense thanks to choppy ends. This modern cut is also simple to style—scrunch in some texture cream and air dry to perfection.
3. Butterfly Cut
We love the butterfly cut—play with how you style it to find your perfect look. Here, the flicked-out ends boost volume and movement in fine hair and the airy layers give it so much bounce.
4. Soft Shag
This sultry soft shag brings a balance of volume and texture, looking full, with just the right amount of movement. For extra volume, part your hair on one side—for inspo, take a look at how these side-parted bangs create lift.
5. Choppy Layers
A choppy cut breaks up the ends of fine hair, which creates texture and thickness. This edgy, lived-in style enhances the natural volume of finer strands, while the face-framing pieces and bangs bring softness. The end result? A modern, flattering look with tons of body.
6. Soft Layers
Soft layers give fine hair subtle texture, and styling it into equally soft waves complements the vibe. The parted bangs open up the face and highlight the cheekbones, so the whole look is dreamy and delicate.
7. Long Layers
If you love long locks but your hair is fine, you know the struggle: long, one-length, straight haircuts weigh down your hair, but when you get layers, they tend to look scraggly. Ask your stylist to keep the layers long to release the hair and stop it from going limp, but to keep them from being too skinny.
8. Textured Shag
The modern shag cut brings out the best of your texture and amps up the volume of fine hair. Wispy ends keep the look lightweight, giving your hair a fuller look that stays soft and bouncy.
9. Bouncy Layers
Create soft curls in your shoulder-length layered bob to give even more body and lift to fine hair. The bouncy layers and curtain bangs work together to make your hair look thicker and more voluminous.
10. Lob With Bangs
This pretty textured bob with wispy bangs will bring lots of volume and shape to fine hair without being too heavy. The airy texture creates fullness, and the cute bangs keep the look light.
11. Hush Cut
A shoulder-length hush cut with soft layers is a gorgeous choice for fine hair. It creates the illusion of thickness by enhancing natural texture, but it still looks lightweight. Wispy bangs round out the look and keep everything looking light and fresh.
12. Angled Lob
The shoulder-length angled lob is a favorite with everyone who has fine hair. Why? Textured, graduated layers create structure and add body, while the choppy ends give the hair a thicker, more voluminous look.
13. Curve Cut With Wispy Bangs
Tapered layers are the secret to airy volume of this soft curve cut. They add soft texture and bounce without weighing down fine hair, and paired with wispy bangs, the look is so pretty and stylish.
14. Textured Shoulder-Length Haircut
To get a structured, full-bodied look, try a blunt cut with textured ends. The curtain bangs add a soft face frame that contrasts the choppy ends, resulting in an even fuller look.
15. Face-Framing Layered Hair
The flippy ends of this retro-inspired, shoulder-length cut give fine hair a light, lifted look. Long, parted bangs keep the style modern and flattering around the face.
16. Textured Lob
If you want your fine hair to feel light but still full of body, the textured lob is a winner. It gives you the lift you’re looking for, and the shoulder length means it’s easy to style.
17. Feathered Layers
Feathered layers softly lift fine hair, creating a lightweight, voluminous look. This medium-length cut enhances natural texture, making the hair feel bouncier and thicker.
