Short haircuts for thin hair: features, tips for choosing

Every woman would like to have thick and beautiful hair that emphasizes her style. Unfortunately, not everyone can boast luxurious hair length and volume. Owners of thin and capricious strands have to make a huge amount of effort to create the perfect styling. They spend a lot of time and money for this, and the result does not always live up to their expectations. Alas, making hair thicker than it is is almost impossible. But visually increase the volume and hide the flaws of the hair will help a correctly selected haircut performed by a good master.

A couple of centuries ago it was impossible to imagine a woman without long hair. Fortunately, today's manners are quite free, and even shaved female heads can often be seen not only on the catwalks, but also in real life. Nevertheless, many women are afraid to do short haircuts due to fear that they will not suit them. In fact, a hairstyle with short hair is an ideal option for those who can not boast of density and natural volume.

In order to choose a suitable option, special attention should be paid to some parameters.

• Length. Short hair is a relative term. The length to the shoulders is perfect for someone, and for someone a short hair hedgehog. A good master is able to choose the right length, taking into account the particular appearance of any woman.
• Splendor. The larger the haircut will look, the more dense and thick even the most weakened and thin strands will look.
• Color. Dark tones make thin hair even more sparse, but light tones expand. It is not necessary to radically repaint in an ashen blond, but you can make a couple of light strands or lighten a couple of tones from a natural color.
• Health. A short haircut looks good only when the hair looks alive and healthy. Unlike long hair, you can’t comb small strands into a ponytail or a bun, so the first priority before going to the master is the treatment and restoration of the scalp and the hair itself.

Do not consider a short haircut as a concession to your shortcoming - thin hair. Many owners of a thick lion's mane also prefer a short length, since such hairstyles have many advantages.

• Unusual. Despite the declining popularity of long hair, most women still prefer this option. A short haircut helps to stand out from the crowd, show character and style.
• Focus on the face. Strands that do not cover the cheekbones and neck make the woman's face brighter, more open and fresh. This is especially true for women over the age of 65 who would like to refresh their appearance and visually “throw off” a couple of years.
• Convenience. Shorter strands require less time for styling and maintenance. Just a few minutes to wash and style - that's all that is required from the owner of such a haircut. In addition, shortened hair does not need to be stabbed when going to the gym or office, they do not fall on the face and do not get confused in the wind.
• Saving. The less hair on the head, the more economical are shampoos, styling and protective products. One jar of styling gel is enough for at least a couple of months, maybe more.
• Relevance. In addition to the fact that short haircuts are very convenient, they also blend perfectly with any look. No need to come up with individual hairstyles for going to the theater or a business meeting.

It seems that such a large number of advantages should have made all the representatives of the fair half of humanity cut off their curls for a long time. However, no hair length is complete without its drawbacks.

• Regularity. A short haircut needs to be updated often, since even a couple of centimeters of hair has already grown and makes it not so neat. You will have to visit the salon at least once a month. And regularity also applies to styling. If there is absolutely no time in the morning, then long curls can be fastened in a braid or bundle, but short curls still have to be laid properly.
• It’s hard to pick up. Each type of face has its own short haircuts, but picking them up the first time is not always possible. In addition, a short haircut always emphasizes excess weight, so owners of curvaceous should especially carefully approach this issue.
• Requires selection of accessories. Not any shawl, hat or winter hat will look good with a short haircut. In addition, even such trifles as a temples earring or earrings will require a more thoughtful selection from a woman wearing short hair.
• Few styling options. Most often, they are limited, in general, to two options - a smooth and neat hairstyle or wavy and slightly disheveled. The longer the haircut, the more styling options it implies.

In the current season, short stylish haircuts are at the peak of popularity, they can be seen at almost all fashion shows. The main trends are directly opposite images: careless femininity and artsy masculinity.

For the first more feminine images, multistage locks are characteristic, which curl into curls, framing the upper part of the face. Such haircuts look slightly disheveled, as if their owner only got out of bed.

For the second, clear lines and a certain mess of strands are more characteristic. Their sharp naughty tips literally stick out in different directions, forming a long sharp bang or tight curls. It is especially important this season to make a real men's haircut, but at the same time, the rest of the image should be smooth and dull.

Clear even haircuts with a noble shine of hair remain stably popular. With proper styling, they will look great, even if the hair is sparse and thin.

The best way to choose a suitable haircut for liquid, naughty hair is to trust a professional hairdresser. However, you can also choose the perfect option yourself. To do this, pay attention to the structure of the hair, the shape of the face and its features.

The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing a short haircut is the structure of the hair itself. Nobody wants to curl straight strands and straighten curly hair every morning. It is best to choose an option that will look acceptable even after a simple blow dryer.

With straight hair, "ragged" multi-stage pixie haircuts look great, the length of which can be selected for any type of face. You can stylize such a hairstyle with a long asymmetric bang, trimmed temples or the back of the head. Another great option for fine straight hair would be a neat bob or a haircut pot. At the same time, it is worthwhile to understand that such a haircut requires daily morning styling to give a visual volume. And also she does not tolerate tight hats or caps that leave creases on her hair. The classic version of a haircut on straight hair is a short square, emphasizing the delicate features of the face and long neck.

Owners of the colors brown, chocolate, crow's wing and other dark shades are best suited for smooth haircuts with smooth edges that are laid in a voluminous hairstyle. These are bean and square, raised at the roots and elongated in length. Ombre or shuttle style stains combining two contrasting or dark shades will look good.

Blondes and redheads should prefer more structural and asymmetric haircuts with flying strands. White color adds volume to the hair, and therefore, on a short haircut, highlighting or tinting of the strands looks a couple of tones lighter than the natural color of the hair.

People with a perfect face shape are negligible. Most often, women whose beauty of their faces are admired by those around them just chose the right haircut and makeup. Fortunately, almost any face flaw can be corrected with knowledge of which hair suits him. Owners of thin hair will be glad that making a short haircut is much easier.

• Rectangular. Such a face does not need to be pulled, but vice versa. In this case, a haircut is a perfect pot, laid with curls that will soften and hide a wide forehead.

• Rhomboid. Such a face requires a narrowing in the middle and expansion in the upper part. A pixie haircut or an extended bob will do just fine with this.

• Oval. Happy owners of an oval face can choose absolutely any short haircut, up to a short hedgehog. The main thing is that the happy owner herself should be satisfied.

Today, there are practically no rules for hair styling and haircuts, which would depend on age. And the World Health Organization claims that youth lasts up to 45 years. Nevertheless, there are general recommendations that women can follow if they cannot independently choose their favorite haircut.

• Up to 30-35 years old. Almost any haircut, including the most daring experiments with length and color, is suitable at this age. It can be shaved patterns on the back of the head and a curly pile, a short mohawk and rainbow coloring. Lightness and youth allow you to leave a maximum of carelessness and naturalness in the image, as if the girl had just woken up and had not yet had time to do the styling.

• Up to 45-55 years old. This is the time when a woman already knows all her pros and cons, she is confident and calm. At this age, asymmetric complex haircuts with graduation look great. They reserve the right to slight negligence with the general accuracy and thoughtfulness of the image.

• After 55 years. This is a time of strict elegance and relevance. Well-groomed ladies aged almost completely abandon their long hair and make themselves a smooth shortened bean or a neat garzon. Feel free, but at the same time, haircuts look like a boy under this age. At the same time, it is not necessary to dye your hair monthly in attempts to remove gray hair, such haircuts look amazing even on completely gray hair.

The styling that was done in the salon after the haircut will last only until the next shampooing. In order for home styling to look no less attractive, you should know several basic rules for working with thin short hair.

• Less styling. For short hair you will need quite a bit of foam, mousse, wax or gel. Just a small pea is enough to put a pixy and just a couple of such peas for laying a square or bean. Excess funds stick together already thin hair, make it heavy and dull.
• Drying with a hairdryer. Unfortunately, it is not possible to style thin hair without a hair dryer so that it becomes more voluminous. It is necessary to style the haircut with the help of a special round comb (brushing), lifting the locks at the roots and stretching them along the length.
• Drying protection. Almost daily styling with a hot hairdryer greatly spoils the hair, and therefore they require special care. With each styling, heat-protective sprays should be applied to the curls, which will allow the hair to remain healthy and retain the necessary moisture. And it is also advisable not to use hot tongs and curling irons too often, they make thin hair even more weakened and dry.
• No fleece. Frequent combing contributes to fragility and dullness of thin hair. Such styling is best used only for holidays and special dates, without introducing them into the daily morning ritual. In no case should you try to comb the pile on a dry head, especially if the hair was sprayed with varnish or sprinkled with special styling powder. First, it’s worth washing everything thoroughly and trying to disassemble the strands with your hands, after which you can already take on the comb.
• If the length allows, You can braid a couple of French braids or spikelets for the night. After they are released in the morning, the hair will fall in soft natural waves and will not require special styling with a curling iron or curler.

A great way to add volume to thin blond hair is to slightly twist their ends from the face. Such a hairstyle will give an image of lightness and playfulness.

Thick bangs will hide the imperfections of the face, reduce the excessively wide forehead, and the hair will appear thicker. The lower the forehead, the higher the bangs should begin.

On extremely short hair, shaved or dyed patterns look great. Such a hairstyle will emphasize the individuality and courage of a woman, distinguish her from the crowd and make her an object of close attention.

Bob-car is perfect for owners of dark skin and dark hair. In this case, you can add volume with graduated torn strands or double dyeing. Such dyeing looks especially beautiful in the veil technique, which visually makes the hair more fluffy and airy.
