STEAL THE STYLE

Fresh Cuts for Fuller Hair 

The right cut is the basis for strands that look thicker and more voluminous every day. Try one of these smart, chic snips for any length.

Asymmetrical Bob 

The uneven shape of this statement-making shortcut lends dimension to thin hair. Give the ends a bit of bend using a round brush while blowdrying to add movement.

Layered and Long 

Ask your stylist to cut sweeping layers into shoulder-length or longer hair, which adds bulk to wispy strands. Bonus: Thin, subtle highlights help further fake the look of fullness.

Piecey Bangs 

Choppy eyebrow-grazing fringe can make hair look thicker and more abundant. Try adding relaxed waves with a 1" curling iron to enhance body.
