How to Make My Short Fine Hair Look Wispy
- 1). Get a haircut appropriate for fine hair and for your facial shape. If you have a round face, you may want to go for a medium length cut, because bobs and pixie cuts don’t wear well on a round face. If you have a square or oval face, a classic bob, a cropped bob or a layered haircut will be perfect to add volume to your fine hair. If you hair is extremely fine or thinning from age, you may want to get a cut that is as short as possible to minimize the look of damaged hair.
- 2). Add bangs and layers to your short, fine hair. Bangs will give the appearance of fullness in the front, and having your stylist layer cut the strands underneath will give your hair a fuller look. The types of bangs that look best are slightly elongated and layered toward the side. It’s best to ask a professional to attempt this type of cut and layering.
- 3). Have your ends chiseled. This is a procedure best done by a hairstylist, but it will make the ends of your hair appear wispy. You can recreate the look yourself -- the look that says you've just stepped out of the salon by applying mousse or gel to the ends of dry hair, making the wisps stand out.
- 4). Buy a hair volumizing product. There are many on the market and in a full range of prices that do work. If possible, use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner, then follow up with a volumizing spray immediately before styling. Draw wispy ends out to style them.
- 5). Stay away from light dyes, waxes and products that are created to enhance shine. Wax will weigh your hair down, shine will just give the appearance of greasy hair to someone with fine hair and blonde dye will make your hair appear more thin.
