A thick head of hair is a decoration for a woman at any age. True, not everyone is naturally gifted with it, but you should not be upset. There are many ways to fix this problem today. The main thing is to find your style and provide proper hair care. Then, even with thin thin hair, you can get a result that will please you.

Hair generally loses volume with age. This happens for many reasons, the main ones being:

• drying hair with a hairdryer;
• prolonged exposure to sunlight;
• frequent perm;
• excessive use of hair fixing products;
• lack of vitamins and essential trace elements;
• stressful situations that worsen the general condition of the body.

As you can see, there are quite a few reasons, almost every woman can say that at least 1-2 of the list are present in her life. Therefore, the question of increasing hair volume to one degree or another is faced by most women, and the task is only to choose the most suitable volumetric haircut for the type of face.

With an oval face, there are no problems with choosing a haircut - any form of haircut is suitable for the happy owners of this type of face.

If the face is narrow, a voluminous haircut will correct the proportions of the face, bringing it closer to the oval one. As a rule, preference is given to long bangs and graduated haircuts, such as bob or bob.

An asymmetrical haircut or a multi-layered one with a voluminous top will suit a rounded face. This shape will visually stretch the face. To give the bangs volume and lightness, they are slightly milled with special scissors.

A square face with a heavy chin and a wide forehead needs to be trimmed in a way that smoothes the corners and softens the shape of the face. It can be, for example, a cascade or a bob. The bangs should be asymmetrical.

A medium-length haircut is suitable for a triangular face, visually expanding the lower part of the face - bob, cascade, square, pixie.

The volume of the haircut is given by the technique of its implementation - in several layers. In addition, additional thinning is involved in creating volume, as well as sometimes coloring.

Combining the right haircut with color, you can achieve an excellent effect of hair volume.

It is recommended to remember the general rules when styling hair in a voluminous haircut:

• dry with a hairdryer starting from the root area;
• when styling your hair, raise each strand or tilt your head so that the hair is raised;
• if an oil-based hair product is used, do not let it get on the roots, otherwise it will weigh the hair down;
• instead of oils, it is better to use mousses;
• a special brush-brushing will help to create the desired shape and volume.

Short haircuts for women that add volume to the hair are especially recommended for thin hair. Particularly popular is a page-style haircut, in which volume is created by combining a smooth cap with an even, clear cut line. The ends of the hair, curled inward, add fluffiness to the hairstyle.

On short hair, the favorite cascade and pixie also look good, just use a little more mousse when styling. Extra volume on fine hair in a short haircut helps to achieve coloring with darkening of the root area. The main idea of ​​a voluminous haircut for short hair is a shape with a high back of the head. This hairstyle will visually stretch the oval of the face, therefore it is especially loved by the owners of a round face or a heavy chin.

The longer the hair, the harder it is to add volume.... On medium hair, in addition to the traditional cascade, volume is created, for example, by bob and bob.

However, the best result in creating volume is still given by a cascading haircut, which is a stepped transition from short to long strands starting from the top of the head. The good thing about the cascade is that it allows you to vary the desired volume depending on the beginning of the transition to a stepwise hair cut. It can start from the top of the head or from the shoulders, and thus, with the same cutting technique, the hairstyle turns out to be different.

On fine hair, a graduated cascade is most often recommended. The cascade can be double or triple, or even more multi-layered. In the cascade, curling or corrugation of individual strands is allowed, styling with a side parting, without or with bangs.

In a bob haircut and its varieties (for example, an elongated bob, bob-bob) - although a cascading effect is not obtained, the required volume is achieved due to the shape. The bob looks especially expressive with asymmetrical or oblique bangs.

The popular ladder is also great for adding volume to any length of hair. In this haircut, a similar to the cascade cutting technique is used in layers - steps, and this creates a voluminous effect.

The Aurora haircut, which is performed in a cascading technique, but the transitions from one length to another are smooth, will help create a romantic look.The main volume is created at the crown, while long strands remain free or curled.

Lovers of originality can try the gavroche hairstyle, in which volume is created at the crown and emphasized by long, uneven strands at the bottom.

The styling stage is very important in a voluminous haircut for any hair length. The best way to achieve volume is with a hair dryer. Before drying, apply styling mousse and dry each strand separately, lifting it at the root. Laying begins with the lower strands. Of course, hair should be clean not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because the volume on clean hair holds better. If it is not possible to wash your hair before styling, it is better to use a varnish that will provide a long-lasting volumetric effect.

The method of curling with curlers has been practiced for a very long time, it has not lost its relevance, especially since now you can pick up curlers for every taste. With this method, you can allow your hair to dry naturally without drying it out with a hairdryer, but styling with curlers takes more time. Styled hair is best reinforced with foam or varnish.

In the current season (autumn-winter), the feather haircut remains at the peak of popularity, in which the silhouette of the hairstyle is given by torn strands. Modern trends allow us to deviate from the traditional execution of this haircut - thick bangs and medium length hair. Beautiful feather haircuts are now varied and performed at any length.

The technique of performing a haircut with feathers is to cut off the ends of the strands in the form of a letter V... A cascading haircut done in this way gives a feather effect. This haircut will suit any type of face and can be done on hair of any length, including fine hair. The style of clothing also does not matter - a feather haircut is combined with both office and sports styles, looks good with a dress for special occasions and jeans.

On hair of medium length, the shape of a haircut with feathers looks slightly different than on short hair. The basis is a cascading haircut or an elongated bob. The ends are processed especially carefully, in each strand separately.

On medium hair, a feather cut differs from a short one in smooth transitions. Each strand is thinned with thinning scissors, and due to this, the desired shape and volume is created.

Often, a feather cut is complemented with an elongated bang, which is also cut in the form of feathers. Curly hair, cut using the feather technique, looks especially romantic.
