Fine and thin hair can be both a blessing and a curse when you think about it. On one side of the scales, fine and thin hair takes almost no time at all to get ready. Blow-drying is quicker, even styling is quicker, mostly because there is less of it. There are fewer hairs to contend with when working your magic with your hairstyle. As well as being good for things such as speed of readiness, fine hair is also a great burden. It is a well-known fact that fine and thin hair often doesn’t stay in intricate updos, like thicker and bulkier hair does. Also, trying to add volume to flyaway and fine hair often takes a serious amount of heated stylings, such as heated rollers, as well as backcombing, using dry shampoo, and also firm hold hairspray. It is due to that reason that many women opt to go for the chopper when they have shorter hair, looking at cool and unique shorter styles.

These 40 Short hairstyles for fine hair 2017 should give you some great inspiration — use them to find new and unique styles to try on your own fine and flyaway hair.

Chin length is a flattering length for many women with many faces shapes, and when you opt for something A line in shape, it is generally much shorter at the back than it is at the front. This means that you get to keep some of the more flattering layers and length around your face, but still keeping things nice and simple at the back. If this is your first venture into the world of short hairstyles for fine hair 2017, something A-line and textured is most definitely a great place to start.

4 – Silver Toned & Lovely

Silver and grey shades of hair are quite difficult to achieve if you don’t know what you’re doing to start with. You will usually need quite a few lightening and bleaching sessions beforehand, especially if you have naturally darker hair. You may also find that your silvery and grey efforts turn a little lilac and lavender when it’s dried. This is to be expected and can be worked with, but you are going to have a much finished result if you opt for a salon job.

5 – Icy Blonde Short Hairstyles for Fine Hair

When it comes to adding more volume to your hair, a good colour and cut is a great place to start, but things really do start in the shower. If you aren’t using the right products when you’re washing and drying your hair, you may find that they add greasy heaviness to the hair, rather than volume and oomph. Use products that are designed to be used on flyaway, thin and fine hair, and you’ll have much better results than with the wrong products entirely.

11 – Lilacs & Lavenders

When you’re picking shampoos, conditioners and other products that offer volume-adding properties to your locks, make sure you’re buying and using the ones that also have moisturising ingredients, as well as the volumising ones.

You should overcompensate a little thing for this, perhaps spending one night a week giving your hair the intensive conditioning treatment it truly deserves.

Bobs and bangs are a brave move, and a look that screams no-nonsense. You do need to remember that bangs will often require much more in the form of maintenance than styles without. We would highly recommend getting your hands on a decent brand of dry shampoo. IT’ll be your best friend!

31 – Beautiful Honey Blend Bob

Mousse is a hair product associated with big, frizzy hair and 80’s and 90’s perms, but that’s not all the hair product is good for. In fact, mousse is perfect for adding volume and boost to your hair when you’re suffering with a case of fine-hair-syndrome. Use a touch of it when your hair is still wet from the wash, and make sure you crunch in well. When you use a blowdryer and a large paddle or rounded brush to add shape, you will notice the difference. If you’re opting for a complicated look, something that needs a lot of volume, or something that requires a lot of holding in place, mousse is a great way to go about it.

33 – Razored Bob with a Sharp Hairline

Product buildup is your worst enemy when you have lifeless and fine hair, and to combat that, you should use a shampoo that offers clarifying properties regularly. By regularly, we mean around once per week. This will make sure that you aren’t just adding more product on top of old product, which will inevitably weight down your hair and make it look flat.

When you start styling, always start at the roots if you have fine hair. Use your blowdryer to dry the hair with it all upside down and hanging to start with. This will add as much oomph as possible to the roots, and this is even more so the case if you use the right kind of styling product too, such as a volume-adding mousse.

Longer bobs, also known as lobs, are great for those with long face shapes, because it helps to even things out.

This could easily come in the form of textured, face-framing waves.
