Having hair
that looks thick and luscious is basically the ultimate hair goal, isn’t
it? There’s just something glamorous about a voluminous-looking mane.
But if your hair is thin, then you may feel like this just isn’t
achievable for you. The good news is, there are a few hair hacks you can
try to help temporarily make thin hair appear like it’s thicker—and
these hacks don’t require much effort, making them easy to add to your
hair care routine. Below, five hair hacks to help make thin hair look
thicker. Try them out for yourself!

#1: Chop Your Locks
One of the easiest ways to help create
the illusion of thicker-looking hair is to chop off a few inches.
Trimming your hair can get rid of length that could be weighing your
hair down (the opposite of what you want if you’re looking for a more
voluminous ‘do). As far as what type of style to ask for at the salon,
consider telling your stylist to add layers to your hair, as these can
help create the look of more volume. Your stylist can help you decide on
a cut that will be most flattering to your features.
#2: Change Your Part
A deep side part could be all that you
need to help make your thin mane look a little more voluminous. Plus,
it’s super-elegant. While middle parts have their time and place, a deep
side part can help add volume—and it’s totally on-trend. Just flip your
hair over to one side and you’re good to go!
#3: Use a System of Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner
When you have thin hair, it all starts
with the products you use in the shower. Reach for a system of
volumizing shampoo and conditioner, like the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Volume Shampoo and the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Volume Conditioner.
The EverPure Sulfate-Free Hair and Scalp system helps weak, thinning
hair look thicker while caring for the scalp. You can also try the L’Oréal Paris Hair Expert Volume Filler Thickening Shampoo and L’Oréal Paris Hair Expert Volume Filler Thickening Conditioner. (To learn more about caring for thin hair, read our guide to this hair type.)

#4: Blow-Dry Your Hair with a Volumizing Styling Product
Ready to fake the look of voluminous
hair? It’s time to stock your vanity with mousse—and upgrade your
blow-drying technique. To start your at-home blowout, apply the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle BOOST IT Volume Inject Mousse
evenly throughout damp hair. This lightweight mousse can help provide a
long-lasting bouncy and voluminous look. Bonus: This mousse also
provides heat protection and extra strong hold. Then, pick up a round
brush and your blow-dryer and get to work, drying your hair section by
section. Start with the front and sides of your hair, working your way
to the back of your head.
#5: Air Dry Your Hair
You can help enhance your hair’s
natural texture—without the use of heat tools. And it turns out you can
use a mousse to do it, just as you would before blow-drying your hair.
After hopping out of the shower, apply an egg-sized dollop of the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Ruffled Body Mousse evenly through damp hair to help enhance waves and curls. Scrunch your hair, then let it hair dry.
#6: Consider Getting Hair Extensions
Want to help make your thin hair look
fuller? Hair extensions could be a good option for you. Whether you opt
for clip-in extensions, tape extensions, or beaded extensions, they can
help add the look of volume and fullness to your mane.
