Asymmetrical Bob
Take the classic bob, but change just one thing about it — curve the sides so that one side is longer than the other — and you’ve got yourself a fresh new style: the asymmetrical bob. This look is perfect if you don’t want to mess with the perfect length of your chin-length bob, but want to introduce some unique styling element that makes an impact.
Just Add Bangs
We’re big fans of any minor styling trick that makes a huge difference, and few things will change up your look faster than adding bangs. Add bangs to a bob and you suddenly look French chic. Add curtain bangs to longer hair and you have ‘70s chic. Basically, add bangs for more chicness.
Bob With Long Bangs
Eyebrow-skimming bangs on a bob plays with short-longer proportions and can keep your hair from looking thin and flat. Considering adding a few longer layers as well to boost movement.
Curly Bob
We’re not finished singing the praises of the bob just yet (it’s so nice we have to mentioned it more than twice). Adding any kind of texture to your bob, whether that means your natural curls or heatless waves or ringlets, instantly boosts the appearance of volume in your hair and can make thinner hair look thicker and healthier.
Long Layers
It’s a complete myth that you have to chop off your hair after 40 to look more youthful. If your personal style calls for longer hair, then keep doing what makes you look and feel your best. But the key to making this work is to add long layers to your look that break up the length and give it a voluminous boost. Maintain regular trims to cut off split ends, too.
Long Hair with Beach Waves
If your idea of long hair isn’t just a little past the shoulders but way past them, consider ramping up your style with beach waves. If your hair already has a natural curve or bend, all it may take is some salt spray and a diffuser to achieve mermaid hair. If you need to start from scratch, opt for heatless waves to protect your hair from intense heat damage.
Mid-Length Hair With Waves
A mid-length haircut tends to stop at about the shoulder or collarbone and it’s a great compromise between short and long hair. Adding waves, as we’ve mentioned, is a key wave to keep your hair from looking flat — and it’s flattering on everyone.
Money Highlights
Though it’s not a haircut, adding face-framing highlights, or money pieces, is like positioning a spotlight on your features and giving your skin a bit of a glow. Money highlights work on all haircuts and are generally one to three shades lighter than your natural hair color. But that’s all it takes to make an impactful change.
Funky Pixie Cut
The pixie cut combines elements that are magic for thinning hair, like a shorter back and sides, with longer layers on top that you can style in so many different ways. Keep things fresh and current with a funkier, spiky pixie, dye a few pieces in the front a fun color, or go for a classic, elegant look with a slicked-to-the-side pixie.
