Are you part of the fine hair club and frequently find yourself gazing at a hairstyle you adore, only to try it and discover it doesn’t quite translate the same with your hair type? If you’re silently nodding ‘that’s me!’ while reading this, then you’re not alone. As someone who perpetually grapples with fine thin natural hair, I’ve been exactly where you are many times. But don’t fret, because this blog post is going to explore some of the best hairstyles for fine thin natural hair, specifically for those with medium lengths. You’ll also learn valuable tips to enhance your hair’s volume—so let’s dive in.
The Art of Styling Fine Hair: Easy Voluminous Hairstyles to Try!
When you have fine thin natural hair you need tricks to recreate hairstyles that give you more volume!
Halo Braid
The halo braid is an elegant style that has stood the test of time, and for good reason. Not only does it beautifully showcase your hair’s texture, but it’s also incredibly versatile and low-maintenance. A halo braid can last weeks, even through your workout sessions, and is an excellent choice when you need a break from daily styling.
What’s the secret for fine hair? Volume-boosting! Enhance this style by adding extra hair into your braid for a fuller look. This technique creates an illusion of thickness that’s both natural and stunning. With this hairstyle, you’re sure to turn heads—and the best part? It’s a perfect canvas for showcasing cute hair accessories. Imagine a delicate silk or bamboo hair tie peeking through the braid. Our handmade accessories are just the touch you need to elevate your halo braid to new heights.
Maintenance tip! I tie down my edges while working out and at night to help them last longer.
Low Crisscross Pigtails
Now, if you’re looking for a quick and effortless style after a lengthy wash day, low crisscross pigtails are your go-to. This relaxed look allows you to play with face-framing strands or even toss on a headband for added flair. The key to nailing this style with fine hair is to stretch your hair first and let it dry. Then, proceed to loosely retwist your pigtails before folding them over and securing them with bobby pins. By allowing your hair to dry stretched, then twisting it loosely, you invite volume to your style.
Evening prep tip! At night, I loosen the hair ties or even replace them with satin scrunchies to reduce the tension over night.
Space Buns
For those who adore fun and funky styles, space buns are a whimsical choice that can be adapted for fine hair. By taking cues from the low crisscross pigtails technique, you’ll start by stretching and drying your hair. Afterward, gather your hair into two sections and wrap each around itself to form buns on either side of your head.
Again, the magic lies in the loose twists that grant the illusion of full, voluminous hair. And don’t forget to accessorize! Add one of our Cute hair accessories for women to add an enhanced look.
