Face framing layers
Looking for even more body and shape and then longer layers are just not cutting it for your thin hair? then a subtle face framing blend around the face will do the trick for you. When it comes to fine hair, less is always more, so start off with a long layered face frame to see if this may be all you desire.
If you also prefer a blunt cut and have never been one to try any type of layers on your thin hair, then soft layers around the face should be your first step to boost volume and shape around your face.
