It’s completely normal to feel like your hair has changed over the years — and it’s more than normal for your hair to have actually experienced changes. Hormonal shifts, genetics, and stress can cause hair thinness and shedding, which can be most evident in areas around the crown of your hair first. How you wear your hair can make the difference between showcasing areas of sparseness and actually concealing it and making your hair look thicker and healthier.
Sometimes all you need is a great haircut to give your hair lift and movement, or a shift in your current style — never underestimate the power of layers or sweeping your bangs to one side. If you’re down about your hair, don’t be: try one of these seven face-framing haircuts that take the focus off signs of aging and put it on your facial features.
Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
1. Bob With Layers
One of the greatest haircuts of all time for thin and fine hair is the chin-length bob with face-framing layers. This haircut automatically gives lifeless hair more lift and its layers cast a spotlight on your cheekbones, eyes, and jawline.
2. Long Pixie
The long pixie is short and chic in the back and on the sides, but all of styling impact happens at top, where longer layers can be worn slicked back, mussed up, or side-swept, as seen here on actress Robin Wright. This is a great cut for anyone who experiences shedding at their crown because you can customize the layers to conceal areas of sparseness.
3. Side-Swept Bangs
Try something a little different with your bangs to make your hair look even thicker. Instead of wearing your fringe blunt, grow it out just enough to sweep them to one side for a dramatic and sophisticated look that also conceals thinness.
4. Medium Haircut With Face-Framing Layers
Long hair loyalists may find themselves lost if their hair becomes thinner and straggly at the ends. You may not be enthusiastic about sacrificing length, but opting for a medium haircut that sits around the shoulder removes thin ends and gives your hair more volume. Add face-framing layers for more texture and movement.
5. Caesar Cut
The Caesar cut is a very short pixie with one special addition: straight, horizontal fringe. Your stylist can add layering and texture to keep it from being flat and the placement of your hair can make strands look denser and conceal sparseness on the scalp.
6. Curly Bob
Back to the classic, timeless bob, but this time add texture like curls and waves. A curly bob isn’t just the ideal length to remove straggly ends, but curls add bulk and density to fine hair.
7. Blunt Lob With Long Bangs
If a bob is too short for your liking and a medium cut is a little too long, look to the lob for that Goldilocks length. A blunt lob with long bangs sits at the collarbone and the ends look denser thanks to the one line cut at the bottom. Long bangs frame the face like makeup and add texture and style to this great cut.
