There is a ton of variations for a pixie haircut, from choppy pixie, bangs, and even highlights. Whether you want to opt for the classic Mia Farrow’s haircut in Rosemary’s Baby or even color it purple, it is all up to you. We suggest that you try out the choppy layers as it creates volume and you can use a hair styling product that is balm or paste based to add more definition without weighing your hair down. If you want a bold look, simply apply a pomade or hair wax. Then push the front hair backward for fuller-looking hair.

2.Deep Side Part

A deep side part hair is one of the easiest and quickest hairstyles for thin hair as you only need to lump the hair on one side. Plus, it helps to balance out the thin hair by making it look more full and height. You can even adorn it with a few hair accessories like pearls or jewels of your choice. If your hair started to become limp, you can simply switch the sides of the hair.

3. The Shag

Indeed shag hair has definitely made its comeback this year and more people are choosing the modern version compared to the original 70s haircut.

It is recommended that you style it with layers and even add highlights to add more definition to it. If you’re going for a blonde mane, make sure to dye your roots with dark brown for a perfect combo.

4. Angled Bob

Although most of us tend to do it while the hair is still wet, you might want to think again as it can make the hair look less volume and dense. Besides, with a slicked-back hairstyle, you will look effortlessly gorgeous. If you prefer the relaxed brush back, you can use a pomade to brush your hair backward.

6. High ponytail
