Flat, thin hair is a problem for many women, no matter what their age. But, with the passing of time and hormonal shifts that take place, the hair can suffer from a loss of density to a greater degree. When this happens, it can be daunting. You may rush to find solutions for thinning hair (and a dermatologist can help you find them). In the meantime though, the simplest way to cope with thin, flat hair is to give your favorite hairstylist a call.
A better haircut can instantly make you feel better — and create the look of more volume in your hair. If you’re over 50 with flat, thin hair, and you are struggling to find a hairstyle that works for you, pros say to try these four ultra-flattering haircuts.

1. Textured Lob
If your hair is long and you want to cut it, or don’t want to cut it but feel your hair needs some length taken off to make it look healthier, the lob may be just the style for you. It’s perfect for anyone who is nervous about cutting their hair super short (since lobs reach the collarbone, they can still be pulled back and up into ponytails). And by layering your lob and giving it texture, you increase the look of density in each strand.
2. Choppy Layers and Curtain Bangs
Whether you want a chin-length bob or aren’t interested in cutting your hair any shorter than your shoulder, incorporating choppy layers and curtain bangs boosts the look of volume in your cut. Curtain bangs are bangs without commitment: they start off shorter at the forehead, but are softly layered around the face so that they blend into your hair and grow out with your haircut.
3. Inverted Lob
The second lob on our list is inverted, which means it’s longer in the front than in the back. Layers can be stacked in the back for even more thickness and front angles are often tapered to frame the face.
4. Textured Pixie
The textured pixie is a little longer at the top, with the same neat, polished, short sides and back that give the pixie its unique and flattering shape. The top layers can be texturized (add texturizing spray and twist strands with your fingers) to make your hair look fuller.
