What style makes hair look thicker?

Answered by John Hunt

When it comes to making hair look thicker, one style that I always go for is the half-up half-down look. It’s super easy to achieve and gives off the illusion of having more hair than you actually do.

One of my favorite half-up half-down styles is the half-up topknot. To create this style, I start by sectioning off the top half of my hair, leaving the rest down. Then, I gather the top section of hair and twist it into a knot, securing it with bobby pins. This not only adds volume to the top of my head, but also gives the appearance of a fuller, thicker mane.

Another option for a half-up half-down style is a simple ponytail. To make it look thicker, I like to tease the crown of my head before pulling my hair back into a ponytail. Teasing adds instant volume and makes my hair appear fuller. I also like to wrap a small section of hair around the base of the ponytail to hide the hair tie and add a touch of elegance.

If you’re looking for something a bit more intricate, you can try a half-up braided style. I love to create a Dutch braid on the top section of my hair, starting from the hairline and working my way back. This not only adds texture and dimension, but also gives the illusion of thicker hair. I then secure the braid with a clear elastic and leave the rest of my hair down for a beautiful, voluminous look.

In addition to these half-up half-down styles, there are a few other tips and tricks that can help make your hair appear thicker. Using volumizing products, such as mousse or root-lifting spray, can add extra body and fullness to your locks. Additionally, opting for hairstyles that incorporate curls or waves can also give the appearance of thicker hair, as the texture adds dimension and volume.

The key to making hair look thicker is to create styles that add volume and texture. Whether it’s a half-up topknot, a ponytail, or a braided style, these looks are sure to give the illusion of a fuller mane. So go ahead, try out some of these styles and embrace the appearance of thicker hair!
