If your hair is feeling a bit dull or lackluster, has lost some of its volume or is looking a bit frayed at the roots or ends, you’re likely dealing with thinning hair. There are a variety of factors that may cause your hair to thin, most commonly damage from chemical treatments or hot styling tools. Your hair may also be thinning from your age, genetics or even medical conditions.
While you can easily find treatments to repair thinning or damaged hair using certain products or even vitamins, you can also lean into your hair’s texture and opt for a new style that promotes a fuller, healthier appearance.
We turned to the experts – a celebrity stylist who has some advice on how to best wear thinning hair.
Adel Chabbi of Adel Atelier Salon in New York City revealed to SheFinds that an angled bob cut is the way to go for thinning hair. Playing with texture is the best trick to create a voluminous look.
And clearly, the haircut works. So many stylish celebs have sported it, including Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Keira Knightly and Anne Hathaway.
Chabbi explained, "A slightly angled bob with clean-cut layers that can create that extra OOMPH for a woman with thin hair doesn't grow as fast, is versatile, and is easy to manage. Also, a modern, long-layered shag cut works well for the woman who has long, thin hair because it adds texture for plenty of movement and body."
The short, angled style goes well any face shape or hair type, probably because it is such a modern and edgy look. Plus, you can opt for this style even if your hair isn't thinning.
If you are shopping for a new style to combat the look of thin hair, the bob is a great way to go since it's a short style. It is easier to repair and nourish a shorter haircut.
While a new cut can help promote a healthy look to your locks, the best way to care for your hair is to incorporate practices into your beauty routine that actually keep it healthy.
Get rid of products with damaging ingredients, like sodium chloride, and nourish your hair with nutrients like biotin and collagen.
