Long Hairstyles with Layers for Thin Hair: How to Embrace Your Natural Waves or Curls



To help you out on your volume-boosting journey, TZR reached out to the hair pros to compile the six best volumizing haircuts for long, thin hair. Plus, they are dishing out all the styling advice to make your current haircut look a lot fuller and thicker. No matter your texture, there is a volumizing haircut for you and your long, thin hair.


A one-length cut is one of the most manageable and chic hairstyles for thin, long hair. It creates the illusion of having more hair because the ends are full and not overly layered and thinned out. The cut is also extremely versatile when it comes to styling and looks chic whether you wear it straight or add in texture.

When hair is wet or damp, Wes Sharpton, Hairstory hairdresser, recommends working in a mouse from roots to mid shaft or spraying in a thickening agent at the roots to plump up the hair. Next, comb through and blow dry with a vented round brush for flexible hold and thickness.


Long thin hair with carved bangs is perfect for girls who want to keep length while enjoying an edgy, fun style. Aim to keep your style time to a minimum. I suggest asking your stylist if you have the right texture for carved bangs. The shorter layers throughout can add great texture to thin hair.


Be amazed by how many dimensions and structure a beautiful bronde balayage can add to your hair! This is one of the simplest ways to make your long luscious brown hair look picture-perfect all the time.


Wispy layers and face-framing caramel highlights are a fabulous idea for your hair. Having shorter lengths of the soft layers will create more body and volume. The pretty face frame will brighten your face and complement your skin complexion.


A great haircut can be like a contour to your hair. A mid back-length haircut can elongate the face that is small or round. A color like a platinum blonde with a shadow root gives transition by connecting roots to mids and ends. When wanting to create a more voluminous style, a crimping iron gives lift when pressed at the root. Just style as usual. Once cooled down, pass a comb through your hair to loosen the curl and create a lived-in style.


Long honey blonde hair with dark roots makes it easier to maintain while still allowing you to have a bright blonde look. Leaving your natural hair color and blending into blonde at the ends, allows you to go longer between salon appointments. Adding curls after blowdrying is volume-boosting for finer hair and will give the illusion of thicker hair.


Long side-parted hair with subtle layers is perfect for those who want a classic layered hairstyle with a chic twist. Great if you have a mane with thin or fine hair, asking for blunt cut ends adds a sharp, clean look.


The haircut has long layers, side-swept bangs, and some face-framing layers which are very low maintenance. The layers will give women with thin, long hair a little more movement, and body without taking out too much of the weight at your ends that you want to keep for added thickness.


Long feathered layers create a ton of movement without losing density or length. Customized layering can range from curtain fringe, side part, or face-framing. Visits to the salon can range from 8 to 12 weeks creating a low-maintenance choice with this haircut.


Wearing voluminous long waves with a side part is one of many ways to style thin or fine hair. Looking for hairstyles for long, thin hair can be tricky. But by giving the illusion of full, thick hair with beautiful waves and the added volume with a side part will always be eye-catching.


A long length is doable without looking stringy. In handling long thin hairstyles, make sure to ask your stylist for minimal layering and to keep a blunt cut. If you would like a little face-framing feature, you can add some layers from the mid-length down to get more movement and shape.


Try a long front layered cut with wispy bangs to add more shape, movement, and body to hair. Layers can make your hair appear fuller and thicker and gives more to your style. When blow-drying and styling the fringe, use low heat to help your style set better, and blow-dry from side to side.


A half-up updo for long hair is a great way to change up your style without it feeling too dramatic. Play around with different braids or twists and pull this out for a thicker feel. Leave some hair to fall around your face for extra softness.


Flipped ends for longer hair will put life back into your finer locks. Styling your hair to add a little flip with a curling iron creates a stacked wave effect. The result? Hair appears wider and fuller. When styling, ensure to add some heat protection like Aveda Shampure Thermal Dry Conditioner. It can be used on wet and dry hair.


Long and layered hair is another classic cut for women who like to keep their tresses long. This long layered hair is a great way to create instant movement and remove weight if your hair is too thick. Complete your look with loose waves and a few spritzes of texture tonic from Aveda.


Try a dark magenta color melt for full-blown vibrancy without the crazy maintenance. Achieving a magenta hair color requires a lightening process, allowing your roots to take a darker base, and melting the contrast of these colors allows low-maintenance roots, and all the vibrancy you need.


Transform your hair with blonde babylights and curled ends on long fine hair to give a fuller dimension. Fine hair absolutely loves the fine weaves of babylights. This way of micro-lighting allows a bright appearance but supernatural, allowing the contrast of your natural color to flow through. Finish off your new color by curling your ends to add some bounce and volume.


Bright highlights complement the beige blonde undertone to create the illusion of thicker hair on a long thin hairstyle. Adding face-framing, but very little layering throughout, allows long fine hair to still have movement and length. If your hair is a bit finer and tends to wilt easily as the day goes on, adding highlights can help create a bit of texture and allow your style to stay longer.


Finer hair can also be a bit trickier when trying to have a lot of length. Thin and fine hair might have to be cut a bit shorter, say collarbone-length, to keep looking fuller. Fine and thicker hair can definitely make it to the longer side, however. Stick with light layering, consistent haircuts, and great at-home hair care products when rocking hairstyles for long fine hair.


Soft face-framing layers on long straight hair are the perfect blend of symmetry. To style long straight hair with fine thin hair, adding layers should be the key point. Face-framing layers are added to create a more refined definition of your overall appearance.


Simple long layers make one of the best haircuts for thin long hair is for fine and wavy hair. This hairstyle adds volume and a rich texture to your locks. The technique used for this is the blunt cut. I often use this technique for fine hair to make it fuller and thicker on the bottom. Ask your stylist for face-framing layers in your haircut.


A done but undone long cut for women shows off an elegant vibe. A long layered haircut that frames your face with some added texture is great for hair on the thinner side. Face-framing from mid-length down adds volume, texture, and movement. Add some soft and messy waves with some salt spray to complete your style.


For longer thinning hair, incorporating medium-length layers with soft waves is a must to achieve a fuller style. The waves add a lot of volume to your hair. Using a curling wand with a heat protection spray, you can achieve some soft waves. Mid-length layers allow texture and movement without taking away too much weight from your hair. Ask your stylist for the best length and layering that would suit you best.


Long volume-adding wavy hair is sometimes difficult to get, but knowing your product and styling options will help. Add large waves with round brushes and style with a great setting spray and finishing spray. These will help to achieve a beautiful, long, wavy hairstyle.


Long waves with copper highlights are a great addition to long thin locks. When a woman has long, thin or fine locks, her hair can be made to look fuller by adding dimension. Long, thinning hair needs regular trims to keep it in great shape.


Long beach waves with an ombré can be a great advantage for ladies with thin, long hair. The ombré gives depth and dimension throughout, so it appears thicker and denser. Styling in beach waves gives it volume and can accentuate your color.


Melted long layers offer a low-maintenance color for ladies with long thin hair. This gives your tresses dimension and brightness. A tease and weave technique was used to achieve the full balayage with soft waves. Apply a shadow root to the base and feather it down to create extra softness. Leave the front blonde pieces out to make them pop more.


Chocolate brown long fine hair is the way to go if you love your length but want to try something fun. The layers in this cut help make your fine hair look like it has more body and movement. Ask your stylist what he or she thinks you should use to help make the volume last all day and how to recreate your style at home.


Subtle or light layers are best for thin hair, as too many layers make your hair appear thinner. Subtle layers, however, can help give the illusion of fullness. You can also get interior layers (see picture #5 above) to help volumize thin hair.


The first step to faking extra volume starts with the right cut, and these, the best haircuts for thin hair, span a number of lengths. Here, we chatted with the pros on how to get it just right.


The blunt appearance is "so effective," says Ash Therese, another Bird House salon stylist. Blunt cuts are some of the best options for thin hair, and Therese's trick is to create a "point-cut" perimeter to the style, as opposed to a simple straight line. Recreate a version of Karlie Kloss's lob, which looks sharp enough to slice through something, with a ceramic tourmaline flatiron like the Beachwaver Coast Pro. To style, lift the hair at the root for volume with the iron, then smooth it, curling it ever-so-slightly inward to create the illusion of width. 2ff7e9595c
