    The length is here, but it’s straggly with visible “holes.”

    To achieve added weight and fullness, go for a nice blunt cut right above the collar bone. It will instantly bring everything up and brighten the face.

    Once you’ve removed the extra length, go in around the face and add some whispy, long layers. These are going to help create added texture and frame the face without taking away from the fullness of the style.

    Once the cut is complete, you’re ready to style. Apply a volumizing mousse or root lifter, gently working it in with your hands. Remember to be careful—thinning hair is often fragile.

    Flip over and shoot some low to medium heat at the roots for added lift—remember, you don’t need to use high heat on thin or thinning hair.
