Being a woman over 50 and having thin hair can be greatly influenced by finding the right haircut. As someone who has worked as a hairdresser for many years, I have learnt some useful tips on how you can make such choice of style that will not only bring volume but also match your facial shape. Here is what I have learned:
The Best Haircuts for Thin Hair
Let’s keep it simple. My suggestion is to go with low-layered styles all the time. Although layers may seem good, they might actually make your hair look less dense. Don’t go for medium length cuts with excessive layering as they can accentuate the ends making them even thinner. Regular trims every 5-6 weeks would help to maintain the cut fresh and tidy.
Choosing a Cut for Your Face Shape
Your face shape should be considered when choosing a cut. Putting some texture around the face would soften longer faces. Pixie cut could be perfect here. Fringe would work well if you have square or heart shaped face but ensure it matches your hair thickness so that you don’t lose too much at the edges.
Styling Tips and Product Recommendations
To give your hair fullness, try blow drying it in opposite direction from its natural fall. This trick raises roots and adds volume to it. For those with thin tresses, shorter styles are usually better since they create an illusion of thicker strands. As far as products are concerned, Label.M blowout spray works wonders as this light-weight formula adds body while volumizing foam from the same range takes care of fine hair that needs extra oomph.
Remember, regardless of age, an appropriate hairstyle can boost self-esteem.
