Cuts and styles for thin hair with bangs create an illusion of volume and fullness. Depending on your face shape, the fringe can accentuate or conceal certain facial features.
Hairstylist Marisa Cabrera of San Dimas, CA shares her go-to rule when getting bangs. “Make sure you have enough hair density in the front side of your hair,” she states.
Though bangs can also cover a thinning hairline, it’s a risk to take. “You could be sacrificing the fullness in the perimeter length,” Cabrera adds.
Understand that having hairstyles for thin hair with fringe requires maintenance and daily styling. Visit your hairdresser more often for regular trims.
There are many styles of bangs you can wear. Consult your stylist for opinions on what look is great on you.
Cabrera warns, “The problem takes place if you don’t have the right hair type or if you aren’t good at styling the bangs. And, it could take six months to a year to grow 3-6 inches.”
Make a statement with a new look. Here are some inspiring images of the trendiest haircuts and hairstyles for thin hair with bangs!
#1: Brunette Thin Textured Bob with Fringe
One of the best illusions is a color optic like a brunette with a thin textured bob with bangs. The depth of color recedes while soft points of light give it dimension for an added pop of body. When paired with a fringe it can complete your overall youthful look.
#2: Sweeping Fringe for Thin Hair
If you have thin hair, the best haircuts are those that are shoulder-length or shorter. These cuts make your hair seem thicker. If you have a prominent forehead, you can soften it by adding a fringe. This gives an illusion of a more oval face shape. To make your hair appear wider, dry it with texture. This technique creates the illusion of having more hair.
#3: Thin Bob Cut with Wispy Bangs
A thin bob cut with wispy bangs is the perfect style for girls with thin and fine hair. Hairstyles suited for thin hair add volume by having shorter hair and using defined cuts to make the hair appear thicker.
#4: Curtain Fringe on a Thin-Haired Bob
You can make a thin-haired bob look fuller by adding a curtain fringe. This slight shag-and-bob combo is great for thin hair. To draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones, consider having a thicker bang to frame your face. You can also opt to cut your bangs slightly shorter if you require more forehead coverage.
#5: Blonde Shag with Lots of Volume
To achieve a blonde shag with lots of volume, ask for a layered cut that adds texture and movement to your hair. Request subtle highlights or balayage to enhance the dimension and brightness. Be sure to communicate your desire for a modern, trendy style and full of body. Trust your stylist to create a look that perfectly captures your desired volume level. It will result in a gorgeous blonde shag.
#6: Light Blonde Jaw-Length Bob with Bottleneck Bangs
A jaw-length bob with bottleneck bangs is a chic and timeless choice for women with thin hair. This style gives the appearance of thicker hair with a shorter cut. The bangs add structure and dimension to the face. To maintain the look, regular trims are essential. Using a lightweight mousse and blow-drying with a round brush can add more volume and body to fine hair. This cut is perfect for women with a low-maintenance style.
#7: Razor Cut with Natural Color
Ask for a razor cut on your natural-colored hair. Ask about softening your style and if a razor cut curtain bang will compliment your face shape. A shaggy textured bob is easy to style and helps bring out waves naturally to the hair texture. Be aware of over-texturizing. Switching back and forth between razor and scissor cuts can be helpful.
#8: Blonde Pixie Mullet with Fringe
If you want to stand out in the crowd, a blonde pixie mullet with fringe is it! This is a great cut for you if you have short hair that’s maybe fine and wavy. It helps accentuate your waves and adds the illusion of thickness. If you need more volume, style it with mousse and work it in with your hands. Use y our fingertips to twist the ends to get a curling effect. Ask your stylist to show you tips on how best to style it at home.
#9: Bright Blonde Messy Shag
A bright blonde messy shag is an effortless shape that can be rocked by anyone! I love the trendy shag! If you don’t like to spend time styling your hair, this shape is perfect for you. Setting your texture with a lightweight hair cream can help show off your natural waves. If your hair is on the thinner side, try a lightweight sea salt spray instead.
#10: Voluminous Makeover for Thin Hair
If you’re lacking in density, you might want to try a voluminous makeover for thin hair. I recommend adding bangs and a little shorter and blunt with the overall haircut shape. This will create the illusion that your hair has a bit more volume. Ask your stylist for extension options to create density. A common misconception about extensions is they can only be used for length. However, utilizing them for density is a wonderful option as well. Opt for tape-in extensions if you tend to have finer hair. These types typically lay flatter against your head, appearing seamless.
#11: Wispy Side Bangs for Medium-Length Thin Hair
For a new style that will make you look like you have a fuller hairline, a set of textured fringe is perfect for you. This style will create a face-framing effect that gives the illusion of a fuller head of hair. To get the most out of this haircut, my advice is to use Bed Head by TIGI Queen For A Day for the day fullness spray. Then use a round brush and brush away from your face.
#12: Long Bob with Bangs for Thin Hair

A wolf cut with straight-across bangs has many styling options. If you have short, thin hair with bangs and style the layers toward your face, it creates wispy layers around the jawline. Oftentimes, the bangs are some of the thinnest hair, so straight across bangs help keep them looking more full.
