1. Textured Pixie
If you’ve always been curious about a short pixie haircut, the good news is: it can do wonders for thinning hair. This cut is defined by short sides and a short back, with slightly longer layers on top. But here’s where you get to personalize your pixie: its top layers can be cut so that they bring out the natural texture in your hair, and this can conceal bald spots and thinness.
2. Layered Bob With Side Part
The bob ends at your chin, which eliminates straggly ends that can be common with longer hair. Adding strategic layers to your bob creates movement and volume, and the side part (instead of a center part) can skillfully cover sparseness at your crown.
3. Side Bangs
Whether you have a bob, lob, medium-length hair that hits your shoulder, or a longer style, adding side bangs creates the visual effect of more volume at your crown. You’ll also be on-trend: early millennial side-swept bangs are quickly taking over where the center part of the past few years left off.
4. Top Knot
Got long or medium-length hair and at your wit’s end trying to find early-morning styles that look great and make thinning hair look thicker? Try a top knot. The top knot is a low-maintenance look that is easy to create at home. Instead of brushing your hair into a slick, tight bun, go for something looser—it’s okay if a few tendrils of hair escape the knot.
5. Hair Toppers
Hair toppers are small hairpieces that can be attached to specific areas of your head to create the appearance of thickness where you most need it. That can mean adding a little oomph to the crown of your hair or toward the back, and then seamlessly blending them into the rest of your hair.
