A shaggy hairstyle is perfect for medium-length hair because it adds volume and movement.
Keeping it slightly messy gives it a modern, effortless vibe that exudes confidence.
Lob for fine hair
A long bob, or “lob,” is a great choice for adding fullness to thin hair.

Adding layers or subtle color variations can enhance the effect, while long, side-swept bangs bring extra dimension and softness.
Flowy Straight Lob
If you prefer to keep your thin hair straight, opt for a blunt cut. A blunt cut creates the appearance of thicker, fuller hair by keeping the ends even and structured.

Sometimes, fullness comes from keeping your hair at one length rather than adding layers that might end up looking stringy.
If maintaining layers is a challenge, opt for a one-length bob.
It’s versatile, allowing you to style it differently based on your mood or the occasion.
