Fine hair typically lacks body. Shag haircuts for fine hair combat this by using layers to create the illusion of volume. Another way to achieve this is with dye. Darker shades at the roots make hair appear thicker.
#2: Loose Shaggy Curls
Curly hair can also be fine; fine hair just means the strand itself is thin, but there can still be a lot of hair present as opposed to thin hair. Just make sure that you don’t weigh your natural curls down with strong hold products.

#3: Blonde Highlights for Fine Hair
Although layers are great for creating fullness, too many of them can have the reverse effect and make your style look too flat. Instead of overloading on a heavy cut, create depth and dimension with chunky highlights on a medium brown base.

#4: Long Lavender Layers
Just because you wear your hair straight doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice a voluminous style. A spritz of dry shampoo absorbs oil and gives your strands some instant texture. Pastel purple hair really helps blue eyes to pop.
