If your hair is thinning, it's a good idea to get a shorter haircut. Short hairstyles draw attention to your face, and away from your hair, which may be enough to help you hide thinning spots. There are several classic short hairstyles that may work for you, but keep in mind that a good hairstylist will be able to tailor any cut to your specific face shape, hair type and tastes.
Bangs
You may choose to go without bangs, but if you do choose to have bangs, consider heavy bangs. Heavy bangs give the overall illusion of thicker hair, and if you keep them short, people may not be able to tell that they are thin at all.
Asymmetrical bangs may also give the illusion of thickness. Side-swept bangs complement an asymmetrical haircut and can also hide a thinning hairline.
Bobs
The bob is a classic short haircut that makes hair look thicker than it really is. This is because the hair is all one length, and it frames your face. Many bobs are cut chin-length, but if you want an even shorter cut, Hair Boutique suggests that an earlobe-length bob can look even thicker than a chin-length bob, because the widest part of your face is typically around your ears. Bob haircuts work for most face shapes, but if you have a long face, make sure the cut is fullest at the bottom. This will balance the length of your face.
Layers
It seems counterintuitive to cut layers into thinning hair, but lots of layers actually give the illusion of thickness. Cutting layers into the classic bob gives the style more shape, which can make it look even fuller than it really is.
Layers are especially helpful if you have a round face, because a cut like a bob that is all one length can make your face look too wide. If you have a round face, use layers to add volume on top of your head, but also to leave some longer strands just above your shoulders. This will help elongate your face.
Styling
No matter what haircut you get, thinning hair needs special care when you're styling it. You should pick a cut that allows you to style your hair without too much heat, which can cause damage. Try to choose a style that allows your hair to air dry, and use straightening irons, curling irons and rollers sparingly.
If you choose to color your hair, you should know that strategically placing highlights and lowlights can make your hair appear as though it is more voluminous than it actually is.
Tucking your hair behind your ears is also a good way to create the illusion of thickness. You can do this on both sides with a classic bob, or if you get an asymmetrical haircut, tuck the thin side behind your ear.
