20 Medium-Length Hairstyles for Fine Hair

Oct 11, 2023

If your hair is thin, you are aware of how hard it may be to achieve natural-looking volume. Some volumizing products may make hair dry and stiff, and if you use the teasing brush too much, you could seem like you’re preparing for a retro party in the ’80s.

Fortunately, there are original methods for giving the appearance of fuller hair. These medium-length hairstyles for thin hair defy the common belief that you must cut your hair extremely short in order to add thickness. These tips can give your hair a whole new lease of life.

Having blunt ends is essential for medium-length haircuts on thin hair, regardless of whether you choose to add some fringe, small layers, or an angled touch. Keep the layers simple and lengthy since too many will actually make the hair look thinner. Your hair will stay together longer if you have blunt ends, which finish in one place and give the appearance of thicker hair overall.

These medium-length hairstyles can be the solution you’ve been searching for if you still haven’t figured out how to wear your thin hair. These medium-length hairstyles for thin hair can give your hair volume and depth without being too long or too short to manage.

1# Face frames for medium hair

These ethereal waves exude romance. The shape and color of this golden cut are highlighted by layers in the front, which also serve to frame the face and give movement to the hairdo.

2# Deep Side Part

Instant volume is added with a deep side part, especially when combined with a volumizing product and a small amount of teasing. For height and texture, this stylist applied a beach spray and a volume spray.

3# Asymmetrical Lob

A contemporary and playful asymmetrical cut (as exhibited by actress Margot Robbie) that accentuates the length of your dominant side keeps the eyes front and center, giving the illusion of fuller hair. Just make sure your stylist uses a delicate touch—too much contrast will make it appear completely out of place.

4# Lob with Light Layers

Kristen Cavallari is demonstrating here how small layers can give a ton of structure to sparse hair. Layers that frame the face are attractive, but they don’t need the same level of dedication as bangs. This is an iconic look that is just begging to be adopted.

5# Blunt Cut with Balayage

Sometimes, the color of your hair may provide more depth than the cut. While seamless balayage coloring adds so much more complexity to the hair, as shown on this emphasized brunette style, a blunt cut keeps the ends tidy.

6# Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs from the past are returning and better than ever. Curtain bangs, as opposed to laying flat on your forehead, provide texture to your entire appearance since they split to the side. You’ll be the one making waves when you pull off this flirty look.

7# New Shag

Shags are returning in a contemporary, bohemian style, as this picture demonstrates. This style appears more fuller because to the beachy waves and light, wispy fringe. Use this simple look to go from daytime to evening dates.

8# A-Line Lob

Because it’s a little shorter in the back than the front, an angled lob like this one can assist give the impression that your hair is thicker. However, this angled lob should be more understated than severe, therefore your stylist has to approach this cut with expert experience. Check out these samples if you’re prepared to try an a-line bob rather than a lob.

9# Wispy Bangs

You don’t want to commit to straight-across bangs that will crumple under thin hair. Rather, go for textured, wispy fringe like this one. This style is lively and young, adding more bounce to your walk rather than just your hair.

10# Flipped-Under Ends

Any blunt cut looks glamorous when the ends are curled under, and these days you can see them on red carpets everywhere. This gives your locks a little swing and has an Old Hollywood vibe to it. To keep everything looking polished and in place, the stylist here utilized an anti-frizz smoothing serum.

11# Layered Lob

Just take a peek at that volume! This haircut really speaks for itself! The tapering layers provide the illusion of a thick ‘do while letting the hair’s inherent texture show off.

12# Curly Bangs

You can still have dimensions even if your hair is thin. Let your bangs steal the show; their modest size lets you stand out without drawing attention to them at the expense of the rest of your hair.

13# Layered Mid-Length Cut

For practically every face shape, face-framing layers look stunning. This style is further defined by the medium length that ends right at the collarbone, and dimension is added by the ombré balayage hair color.

14# Classic Shag

This timeless medium cut with curtain bangs and organic texture is a fantastic gift for people who want a fuller appearance. You’ll desire this look forever after you’ve perfected the shag style. The hairdresser incorporated a few baby lights into the hair to create movement.

15# Tousled Hair With Balayage

We cannot emphasize enough how, frequently, the color also provides enough depth to give the impression of thicker hair rather than just the cut. And all we can say when we see hair like this that is ruffled is, ooh la la!

16# Rockstar Shag

All set to go? A more dramatic shag like this one may be achieved with a little assistance from your round brush and blow dryer, as well as accentuated winged bangs that are instantly stylish.

17# Soft Layers with Babylights

This client’s hair had never been dyed before this style appointment. Rather than going all out for a complete makeover, the hairdresser added subtle highlights that accentuated her natural color with no maintenance required on her part using the babylight technique. It sounds like a lovely tune, the way the baby lights interact with the piece of texture in the cut!

18# Baby Bangs

These baby bangs combine the sophistication of the French bob with a medium length that is yet convenient enough to wear in a ponytail. As we previously stated, make sure your baby bangs split amicably down the center, as seen below, rather than having straight bangs that would draw attention to sparse hair.

19# Lob with Face-Framing Texture

This hairdresser advises “cutting a straight line in the back slightly angling to the front right about to the collarbone when creating this haircut or asking for this cut.” “Adding shear shattering and volume texture throughout, along with a longer face-framing texture.”

20# New Shag

This hairstyle, which is another illustration of the “new shag,” is both incredibly stylish and classic.
