5 hairstyles for fine hair
1. Box Blade
If the braid is too tight, it is a common cause of traction alopecia, a form of hair loss. But the good news is that a gentle blade style, like a box blade, allows you to rest your hair while making it look thicker. Your stylist can also add blade extensions in a way that can hide the area of hair loss.
To complete the look Toppik Hair Building Fiber.. Toppik fiber is made from natural keratin, the same protein as hair. These fibers have electromagnetic charges that naturally attach to existing hair, making it look thicker and richer. The fibers help hide the small areas between the blades.

2. Bangs
Believe it or not, bangs are great for fine hair. By putting more hair in the frame of the face, the bangs will make your hair look richer. Word of Wisdom: Bangs tend to be oily, so your hair looks cohesive and thin. To keep your bangs oil-free and fluffy, use a dry shampoo or texture spray to absorb excess greasiness.

3. Low and messy dumplings
This romantic hairstyle complements fine hair and is easy to style. Start by applying waves to your hair with a curling iron (use high quality heat protectants in advance to prevent damage!). Pull the hair into a low bun and fix it with a hairpin, leaving some framing on the face. For formal occasions, add glittering hair accessories.

4. Wavy bob
Wavy bob is the ideal hairstyle for fine hair. Short lengths and added waves make fine hair look thicker and richer. Ask your hairstyle for a thin bob that falls somewhere between your chin and collarbone.
To style this look, apply a small amount of thickener to moistened hair and blow dry. Then use a 1-inch curling iron to curl the hair. Tip: After releasing each curl, hold the curl in your hand for a few seconds to make the curl last longer.

5. Half ponytail
If you’re struggling with a small ponytail, try pulling up only half of your hair and fixing it with a tie. This playful style creates more volume on top for hair that looks thicker. After fixing the hair with rubber, grab two ponytails and pull lightly to add volume. Then gently pull down on the sides to cover the sheer areas of the scalp. Dress up this look with the addition of rhinestone bobby pins.
