Before you book
For fine hair, blunt ends almost always look fuller than feathered ones; for thick hair, ask where weight will be removed, not just where length will come off.
Frequently asked questions
Can a haircut really make thin hair look thicker?
A cut cannot change how much hair you have, but the right shape — blunt ends, the right length, volume at the crown — genuinely makes fine hair look fuller. We describe the look a cut creates, never promise regrowth or volume miracles.
What do I ask my stylist or barber for?
For thin hair, ask for blunt, full ends and minimal layering at the bottom. For thick hair, ask for internal layers and weight removal through the mid-lengths.
