30 Volumizing Hairstyles For Thin Medium-Length Hair

Having thin hair is a struggle. But, all that can change!

While thin hair does look silky, it comes with its own problems. Your hair tends to lie flat way too often. It also gets greasy very quickly, which means you need to wash it at least every other day. And if you’re not careful about the shampoo you are using, washing your hair so much can lead to hair loss. Added to this, sweat can dampen and change your hairdo instantly. You try to wrap your hair in a bun, but you can never find the right sized elastic.

So, what’s the solution to these problems? These 30 stunning hairstyles that can add volume and make your hair look fabulous!

30 Volumizing Hairstyles For Thin Medium Length Hair

Yes, these hairstyles do help you get voluminous-looking hair. But before that, here’s a little advice on some other hair issues you may be facing.

If you sweat from your head too much, opt for loose hairstyles. The minute you feel your hair beginning to get damp from the sweat, simply tousle it up and allow it to breathe.

If your hair tends to look flat, keep changing the parting of your hair.

For the more formal occasions, try adding a pouf to your hairstyle as it adds height to your locks. For more tips on how to make you your thin hair look thicker, check out this article.

Now that you know how to curb some of your thin hair woes, here are 30 volumizing hairstyles that you can try out!

1. The Shag Cut

The shag cut is comprised of many layers. If you have thin hair, these layers help add volume and depth to it. Use a volumizing spray to lift the hair on top of your head. I would advise against tying your shaggy hair in a ponytail as it will look thin and lifeless.

2. Stacked Bob

A slightly angled stacked bob can give your hair loads of volume. It also helps in framing your face. It makes your face look slender, which, in turn, makes your hair look thicker.

3. Feathered Tips

If you have fine hair, I understand your struggle for volume is real. No matter what haircut you have, just feather the very ends of your hair. The thinned ends will make the rest of your hair look thicker. They also accentuate your jawline.

4. Naturally Wavy Hair

We all know that wavy hair looks voluminous and perfect. But, using heat styling tools is not good for your hair. Don’t worry, there is a solution. Simply weave your hair in a French braid. Make sure your hair is damp, and leave the braid on overnight. The next morning, you will have some spectacularly wavy hair!

5. Finger Waves

Finger waves are sculpted by hand. Since all your hair looks like waves moving together, this hairstyle creates the illusion of volume. Opt for large or medium-sized waves to make the most of this look.

6. Layers In The Front

When you have really fine, straight hair, layers can make it look scanty. I suggest getting only the front of your hair cut in layers. This will also help in slimming down your face while making your hair look thicker.

7. Permed Hair

Permed hair is permanently curled hair, so I suggest you really think it through before you get your hair permed. A friend of mine really hated her thin hair. It always looked flat, and she complained that it took way too long to style it. So, she took the plunge and loves how thick her hair looks now.

8. Flowy Big Curls

Curls automatically make your hair look thick, and even more so when they are big curls! You can use rollers to achieve these big curls. This is the perfect look for formal events like weddings or prom.

9. Beachy Waves

Tousled waves look incredible and are really easy to achieve. You can use rollers or leave your hair in a braid overnight to make your hair look beach-perfect.

10. Curly Ends

Curling the ends of your hair gives it an almost triangular look, which makes your face looks slimmer and your hair look thicker. You can also thin out the ends to make the rest of your hair look thicker.

11. High Ponytail

A high ponytail takes the focus off your hair and shifts it to your face. It also pulls up your cheeks, giving them more definition. Loosen your high ponytail before you tie it with an elastic. This will add height to your hair.

12. Curly Ends Ponytail

Normally, when you tie your thin hair in a ponytail, the ends tend to look squiggly. Adding curls to the end of your ponytail makes it look thick and flowy. It also infuses life into your hairstyle.

13. Textured Waves

Jennifer Lawrence’s textured hair here looks amazing. The side parting adds height to her hair. Instead of parting your hair on the side that you normally do, try the opposite side. If your go-to is a middle parting, you can also try parting it on one side or brushing it all back without parting it. Doing any of these things will add height and volume to your hair.

14. The S Wave

Adding an S wave to the ends of your hair can make it more bouncy. This way, you don’t need to curl all your hair. It still looks natural with just a bit of added texture.

15. Curls And Bangs

Bangs automatically give your hair a fuller look. Adding in curls will really make it look voluminous. Tousle the curls with your hands to add more height and volume to it.

16. The Double Curl

Curl your hair in smaller sections but spread out each curl. The smaller sections give your hair more depth, making it look thicker. Instead of doing multiple curls, opt for double or triple curls depending on your hair length.

17. One Side Pin

Placing a pin on one side of your hair flattens that side while making the other side look thicker. Make sure the loose side is the one with the bangs.

18. Deep Side-Swept Bangs

Deep side-swept bangs are great for women who have thin hair and a large forehead. They look great even when you tie up your hair in a ponytail or a bun because they manage to make your hair look thicker.

19. Blunt Hair

When you have extremely thin hair, going for layers may not be a good idea. Opt for blunt hair instead. Blunt hair will make your hair fall straight, which will make it look thicker. Take a close look at Emma Stone’s hair. Though it is not very thick, it certainly looks like it.

20. Waves

Whether big or small, waves make your hair look bouncy and thicker. To make them look more natural, begin the waves a little away from the roots. This makes them flow seamlessly.

21. Middle Parting With Layers

Who better to take hairstyle inspiration from than the lady who started “The Rachel”? Add some layers to the front of your hair to frame your face. Part your hair down the middle to add ample volume to your hair.

22. Light Waves

Make sure your hair is damp when you try this hairstyle. Spritz on some volumizing spray on your hair. Twist your hair in small sections and scrunch it up to the roots. This will create these voluminous, light waves.

23. Side-Swept Hair

Sweeping your hair to one side is a great way to make your hair look thick. Push all your hair to one side and pin it. Fluff it up just a bit or style it in curls. This is a glamorous look that you can sport to any fancy event.

24. Middle Parting

Parting your hair down the middle helps in framing your face. It slims down your face, making the ends of your hair look thicker. Who said you can’t be an illusionist?

25. Sharp Layered Ends

Adding heavy and sharp layers to the ends of your hair will make it look fluffier than it is. Then, spritz on some volume spray to your roots and fluff up your hair to create this “big hair” look.

26. Ombre

An ombre is a great way to add dimension and faux thickness to your locks. It also helps in framing your face beautifully. Go for some highlights at the top as well to add more depth to your locks.

27. Bouffant Bun

Most thin-haired women complain about how updos tend to look flat or small on them. A great way to solve this problem is to add a bouffant to your updo. It will add height to your hair. Just backcomb some hair at the top or use small chignon bun maker to achieve this look.

28. Bouffant With A Low Bun

Tease the hair at the crown of your head to create a bouffant. Twist the front hair to loosely fall over the bouffant and pin it at the back. Roll the rest of your hair into a twisted bun and pancake it. Use pins to keep it in place.

29. French Twist

Backcomb all your hair to create this bouffant and pin the ends at the back. Then, tie all your hair in a French twist. This is easy to achieve if you have thin hair. Spritz on some hairspray to set the ‘do in place.

30. Contrast Ombre

A stark contrast, like a brown to blonde ombre, helps in framing and softening your face. If you curl your ombre-d hair, it will look more bouncy and full of life. Just make sure that the hair colors you choose look good with your skin undertone.
