5) Side-Parted Layered Bob

Easily fake dramatic root volume and an instant face-lift simply by shifting your parting to one side with this elegant cut.

To maximize this effect, master stylist Keri Hill recommends drying your hair in the opposite direction of your final look before flipping it over to build incredible, lasting height. It is a sophisticated choice that gives fine or thinning hair a much denser, remarkably fuller appearance.

  

6) Wavy Layered Bob for Fine Hair

You don't have to settle for flat, lifeless locks just because your hair density is changing over time. This targeted cut pairs lightweight interior layers with soft waves to expand the width of your hair, instantly giving the illusion of a thicker mane. Hairdresser Neil Moodie notes that shorter, texturized bobs are ideal for women over fifty because "bobs help to make the hair look thicker and with more volume." By using a simple wave spray, you can achieve a soft, romantic finish full of bounce and dimension.
