There are some amazing hair trends we keep seeing this season to bring back volume and life into the hair, making the celebrities sporting them look instantly younger. I think bangs, layers and choppy cuts are the key things to remember when you are looking for a new, youthful look to give thinning hair that extra ‘oomph’.

Why not follow in these ladies’ footsteps?

 

Nicole Ritchie

 

 

 

Nicole has done angled layers perfectly here. In layman’s terms that means long bangs with choppy layers. If you’re going for this style make sure your hair goes past your shoulders and has soft edges- not bluntly cut. If your hair is fine and thin, don’t opt for the layers to be razored because you’ll just look bald (not really, but you will look older). However, if your hair is thick, go for a more thinned out method so the layers frame your face rather than cover it.

 

 

The Soft Pixie

 

 

 

A short pixie with lots of textured layers can keep your hair from looking flat and prevent it from growing out awkwardly. This look can be choppy and feathered, sleek and polished or simple and natural – whatever works for you! This cut makes you look instantly younger too because it frames the face and flatters the features.

 

Vanessa Hudgens

 

 

Long, loose layers always bring the sexy back that’s why all the Victoria Secret models have them.  But the great thing about this cut is you don’t have to be a supermodel for it to suit you too. Hudgens’ cut is flattering on thick and fine hair alike. But if you want to create those luscious, youthful locks then shorter layers is the way to go as it creates volume for thinner hair, while the long length showcases the natural texture of thicker strands.

 

Either way, with these haircuts you can’t lose.

TT.
