A cleverly styled cut that fools the eye with sleight of hair, on the other hand, is very much on the table. No stylist can magically make more of your own hair appear, but the right cut can create the illusion of fuller, denser strands. In fact, choosing the wrong haircut can have the opposite effect, leaving fine hair looking flatter, stringier, or more see-through than it actually is. Depending on what you’re working with, it may be keeping every strand the same length so the ends look thick and healthy. The best haircut for thin hair isn't necessarily the shortest one, the trendiest one, or the one your favorite celebrity happens to be wearing.
