Fact: We all want sweet hair. Whether it’s pin straight or naturally curls, it doesn’t deny the appeal of the volume. First of all, the body adds movement and hair, usually equivalent to healthy hair. However, for people with thin hair, achieving a resilient, voluminous style is not as easy as spritzing with a voluminous spray and sleeping on a roller. Instead, a rich haircut is the answer to bringing life to life in your hair. Strategically designed to mimic the appearance of thick hair, these cuts can make all the difference in thin and thin hair. Haircuts are transformational and, as celebrity hairstylist Castigiovataille says, the right haircut can give you more than an easy look. For thin hair, thicker haircuts create illusions of density, dimensions and depth. Below, we share the best haircuts of two celebrity stylists who will do double duties, adding style and weight to thin hair.

What is a thickening haircut?
Some haircuts are chosen to remove bulk, but thick haircuts are designed to fill the finer hair. “The idea is to create a more dense, more enormous hair fantasy,” says Rodney Cutler, hairstylist and salon owner. It involves similar processes as bulk removal, but is much more complicated. Given that layers add dimensions to the cut instantly, it’s easy to assume that layers do the trick. However, when it comes to increasing density, layers are not sufficient whether they are choppy or subtle. Thickening, as Bataille explains, requires strategic cuts to remove the weight of certain areas and increase the body and volume of other areas. “That’s more about layering for movement, not about layering for density, shape, and expansion,” he says.
What should you ask for when booking
The key to getting a good thickening haircut is singularity. Remember, Cutler says there’s more than an edgy layer. Shape is more important. “It’s essential to find a style and length that complements the shape of your face,” he says. If you have an idea about the type of cut you want to achieve, your stylist will be able to better define the structure and build. Still, there are some key elements that can help guide you when you’re in a chair. Dull styles often show volumes when applied to the right area. For example, the blunt borders of choppy bangs give thick edges throughout the cut. The inner layer is another technique that can give you an illusion of thickness. “It removes weight while adding dimensions and promotes lifting from the roots. Once the hair is flattened up quickly,” Bataille says. Pros also advise against textation overload, as they can make fine hair appear sparsely.
