We weren’t all born with Disney manes, but that’s okay.
Yes, thick hair can come with enviable volume, and fine hair can sometimes leave us feeling flat, but the latter is also faster to dry and tends to survive better in humidity!

Michael Rackett, from our award-winning styling team, shares 11 stunning haircuts to make fine or thin hair look thicker, guaranteed to leave you a magnet for compliments. Then, when you’ve seen a cut made for your tresses, find your nearest Rush salon, and get set to turn the volume up to max.
Flowing forward graduation bringing thickness
Hair is often finest around the face. So, melding forward graduation into your look can build weight, and like magic, will disguise thinness with shape around your features.

Uniformed shoulder-length wavy strands
