1. Short Whipped-Up Bob. A round short bob is a good idea for fine wavy locks. Introduce highlights and it becomes overloaded with gorgeousness. A bit of messiness will never hurt either!
2. Disconnected Layered Bob. Aside from the short length of this cute bob, another thing that works in its favor is the color. The twin shades of a light reddish brown balayage on a brunette base added an amazing dimension to the layers. Those bronzed waves got some movement.
3. Midi Shag with Tousled Waves. To style delicate locks and have them look this alluring, combine your medium-length waves with bangs. The twists and flips of bangs lend your hairdo a volumized look. Tousle your strands up to give them extra volume and bounce.
4. Short Messy Ringlets with Glasses. Well, coifs for delicate locks are really versatile! Just look at this pretty shorter version of the bob . No bangs, no extra length, just well-defined flirty ringlets with a bit of a side swoop. Try to keep ‘em as healthy-looking as hers.
5. Long Bouncy Wolf Shag. These before and after pics reveal a lot. What the after pix says: Make your locks shorter, layer your mane, give your waves extra texture, darker strands look thicker, and bangs can make all the difference. A long wolf shag is a great coif for fine locks.
6. Volumized Bedhead Bixie. Short coifs are not the only options when it comes to crops for fine locks, but they are still very flattering. The shorter your hair, the more voluminous it will look (with the right crop!). Layering your locks improves the volume, too.
7. Armpit-Length Blonde Waves. It’s all about styling. A good stylist can manipulate the natural wave pattern of your locks to give them volume and body. Coloring your strands differently can also help to make them appear thicker. Of course, post-salon at-home hair care is also important.
8. Comb-Over Wavy Lob. Searching for coifs that would look both full and charming? Here’s an idea – try keeping your roots in a darker shade like black or deep brown, and then lighten the rest of the locks. Your mane will look full and fabulous.
9. Shoulder-Grazing Rezo Crop. Just like side-parted ringlets, a center part is equally a good way to style your locks. Middle parts are great for giving symmetry to some face shapes and hiding flaws. The flowy ringlets grazing your face deliver a voluminous look.
10. Beachy Messy Inverted Lob. Delicate locks can be just as gorgeous as any other hair type. The secrets are proper care and correct styling. You can style your fine locks into magnificent waves. Like this luscious beachy lob.
11. Inverted Lob with Touchable Ringlets. Keep heat styling devices away from your fine strands as much as possible. Heat can damage your cuticles and make your locks unmanageable. Air-dry after washing. You can also use a dryer with a diffuser but ensure the heat is low. Moreover, a lot of heatless overnight styling methods do exist.
12. Rounded Midi Coif for Spirals. Products like volumizing sprays and hydrating shampoos can help to keep your delicate tendrils bouncy and defined. Such products give body and shine. Don’t go overboard with them, though.
13. Shoulder-Length Irregular Waves. We love the playful look of her stunning mid-length locks. Her tresses start off wavy at the roots and transform into a tangle of tumbling ringlets in the back. The bedhead appearance of her coif is adorable.
14. Face-Framing Short Bob. Give it to short bobs when you are tired of fighting with your unruly locks. Loose waves appear springier when they are of a shorter length. Style them to dance around your face for a more voluminous bob.
15. Long Honey Blonde Beach Waves. Awwwn… Such a dolly bird. Who said delicate strands have to be cut short to look good? Her long beach waves say “Scrape that!” Add definition with fitting highlights. The honey blonde offers a sun-kissed glow that brings her thin locks to life.
16. Messy Natural Bob with Micro Bangs. Going for a crop may not automatically give you the volume you desire. Your stylist should aim at creating an illusion of weight in the right places. Deva cut? Rezo cut? Or any other crop for natural locks — this will depend on your texture and face shape.
17. Highlighted Lob for Wispy Spirals. Consider choosing highlighted low-maintenance coifs. Who wants to spend all day on hairstyling? Instead of using a brush, use your fingers to gently fluff up the roots and create more volume as you dry your spirals.
18. Long Puffy Waves with Layers. That moment when a bit of frizz and puff actually becomes a great choice for your hair type. When paired with dark roots, the contrast makes for a thick and gorgeous mane. Don’t forget to apply a volumizing product to make your locks stand out.
19. Long Wavy Shag with Side Bangs. Long shags aren’t in any way less admirable than shorter versions of wispy wavy styles. So, try to let your long fine waves drop down past your shoulders! Layers, highlights, and wide curtain bangs made this lovely mane a showstopper. Remember to use a suitable anti-frizz product to keep it looking its best.
20. Bob with Messy Defined Locks. Achieving an appearance of fullness and volume is the goal when styling wispy strands. Stacking your locks in layers can help. Highlight and give them some texture to create an age-defying dimension.
21. Scrunched Midi for Natural Waves. You locks may be prone to frizz and breakage resulting from a lack of moisture. Make sure they are well moisturized. However, be careful not to overburden your delicate tresses with too many products, as doing so can disrupt your natural pattern.
22. Shoulder-Length Voluminous Wavy Comb-Over. An angled side part with the hair flipped as in the image below offers a fuller appearance at the crown. Leave your waves a bit messy for more volume.
23. Wavy Layered Bob with Baby Bangs. If you have really wispy strands, try not to scrub them vigorously while washing. Instead of rubbing your locks hard when removing excess water, gently pat them dry with a soft towel. Rough handling causes tangles and breakage more easily.
24. Natural Black Bixie. Even a modest coif can boast rich, copious curls. A layered crop is the password. This side-parted bixie looks fascinating. The dark color, shorter curls, and stacked layers did the magic.
25. Pretty Wavy Shaglet. Truly shags are among the best crops for delicate waves. Everything this shag features works to make your fine strands appear thick and full. Layers, wispy bangs, neck-grazing tresses, and a messy touch created a great cover-up for her locks.
26. Natural Messy Long Shag. Sometimes it’s best to let nature run its course. Are your fine wavy locks difficult to manage? Go with the flow and allow them to go wild. The natural messy and textured feel of the locks below delivers a dramatic flair that is so enchanting as well as romantic.
27. Soft Midi Shape with Baby Bangs. Ditch those styling tools. A little tweaking here and there can give you a fantastic result. A mid-length layered crop is one great idea. No face-framing. Baby bangs make you look younger and your crown fuller.
28. Lob-Length Gray Blonde Spirals. If your fine strands have a good curl definition, count yourself lucky. All you need is to devise tricks on how to make your mane voluminous. Cropping your locks to a medium or shorter length is one trick. Another trick is to highlight/lowlight your spirals.
29. Bob with One Side Longer. If you’re worried about how to style your locks to fit your round face, worry no more. There are plenty of options for you too. A side-parted asymmetrical bob will flatter your face and hair type well.
30. Delicate Waves with Bottom Layers. Your hairdresser can work with your natural wave pattern to enhance the definition of your texture. The practicality of such coifs is very high, as you will need just a good styling mousse to reduce the frizz. No straightening or hours of styling are needed!
If you were looking for just one-two gorgeous coifs, you might be a bit disappointed RN. So many crops, medium-length styles, and beautiful longer options are quite overwhelming, eh? And all these examples flatter delicate locks! However, you can easily narrow down the ideas by choosing only those styles that suit your type of texture and face shape. The most charming result is guaranteed!
