Medium length is the most universal one, especially when it comes to thin hair, and you can make lots of cool hairstyles even if you wish your hair was much thicker. These are rather versatile, including loose styles on the basis of bob haircut and various updos with braiding, twists or ponytails. If you don’t know how to style your fine hair, opt for a bob cut that looks great straight with teasing at the roots or curly. Enhanced texture and a messy touch will save you when you are constantly on the go.
Shoulder Length Hairstyles for Thin Hair
Here are some of the cutest visualized ideas to embrace.
#1: Casual Braided Pompadour
Sometimes cute hair doesn’t have to come through a cut – instead, think about creative ways to style your locks. For finer hair, a braided pompadour is always lovely. Get inspired by the French braids of childhood and braid only the top section of your hair, adding a kick of volume while the rest flows free.

#10: Messy Blonde Lob
Thin hair appears fuller when styled tousled. Achieve this ‘do by backcombing hair from ends upwards and teasing the crown as well. If you’re into this aesthetic, balayage or ombre coloring suits this lob perfectly.

#11: U-Shaped Cut with Curled Ends
A U-Shaped cut allows classic styling (the ‘70s inspired waves) to be achieved easily. With added bounce at the ends, fine hair appears fuller and thicker. This effect can be gained with a flat iron when you twist hair at the bottom. Using a curling iron with a clamp or hot rollers works just as well.

#13: White Hairstyle with Swoopy Layers
Swoopy layers on mid-length cuts are essential as they are delicate enough not to overwhelm fine hair, yet they are still functional in adding movement. This sway brings lots of dynamics which is especially important when selecting a color, like white, that may look flat otherwise.

#14: Brown Bob with Subtly Layered Ends
The key to acing haircuts on thin or thinning hair is to not overpower locks with heavy layers or dramatic cuts. Light layers in combination with subtle coloring are flattering for this delicate hair type, and they really strategically benefit thinner locks.

#15: Messy Wheat Blonde Bob with Layers
Messier medium hairstyles for thin hair are among the most advantageous hairdos. They work particularly well on naturally straight fine hair, boosting the body and transforming the texture. Try curling your hair loosely, teasing it, and setting with spray. Using volumizing products on damp hair can also cut down on your styling time while still delivering the messy-chic look you are after.

#16: Medium Hairstyle with Feathery Ends and Bangs
The feathering technique works wonders on thin hair. A fuzzy appearance is formed when razors are used instead of shears to cut, giving some extra texture to the mane. Texturizing adds fullness. Complete with dreamy sparse bangs and you’ve got a lovely medium style for straight hair.

#17: Angled Bob with Waves and Subtle Highlights
One can never go wrong with a cute angled bob! Highlights get shown off beautifully on big, luscious waves that are achieved with a large barrel curling wand. Make sure the style doesn’t look too “done” by ruffling with your fingers.

#18: Sleek and Glossy Blonde Balayage Bob
Messy shoulder length hairstyles for fine hair are the route to building texture, but if pristine hairdos are your cup of tea, go for an A-line sleek bob. To style, pump up the gloss factor by using a shine spray: sleekness will make your hair look healthier and thicker as a result.

#19: Blunt Blonde Bob with Layers
Sometimes straight cut shoulder length bobs can show off how thick or thin hair is, which may not be what a lady with finer hair is looking for. However, uni-length trims can work for anyone if there are sparse, delicate layers incorporated into the cut, as they deliver volume and movement.

#20: Perfect California Blonde Bob
Choose a blonde that has undertones complementing your skin tone, whether cool, warm or neutral. Highlights help amp up the dimension in a bob regardless of styling – straight, wavy or curly.
