How to restore volume to fine hair without artifice? A new variation of the square creates a real illusion of density.
Like every type of hair, fine manes come with their share of little annoyances. Among them, the lack of volume obviously, the sparse effect, or even a certain fragility in the face of everyday aggressions. To remedy the first two concerns, there are a few tips to adopt. Certain haircuts in particular can give an illusion of thickness. This is the case of this new variation of the bob which is all the rage, particularly recommended for fine hair. A true phenomenon that seduces people, this hybrid hairstyle does not just follow the trend: it transforms the density from the first cut of the scissors. But why does this style succeed in the crazy challenge of giving the impression of a doubled mass in the blink of an eye? Explanation.
This cut holds the secret to denser, healthier-looking hair. Called the curtain call bob, it is defined by a soft, slightly layered bob, combined with curtain bangs. But its real strength lies in its adaptability: you can adopt it with delicately rounded bangs longer on the temples, or opt for a longer and “messy” version like Brigitte Bardot at one time. “A U-shaped fringe is slightly shorter in the center and longer at the temples, which pairs perfectly with a bob. It softens the face and draws attention to the eyes and cheekbones without appearing heavy“, explains hairstylist Lorraine Dublin to the American media Cosmopolitan.
A classic curtain bang will also blend harmoniously into the haircut, while slightly framing the face. If it brings a resolutely modern side to the curtain call bob, it is indeed the gradient which will create the illusion of density.
Be careful, however, on fine hair, the gradient must remain subtle otherwise you end up obtaining the opposite effect: hair that appears even thinner. The secret is a subtle and almost invisible scissor cut that gives movement without ever sacrificing thickness. The perfect compromise to no longer suffer from your fine hair and to highlight it.
