Cutting fine and thinning hair doesn’t have to be a challenge. Following basic principles can help you achieve fuller-looking locks on your fine and thinning clients.

“A technical approach to a haircut provides structure in the shape, so avoid any thinning and slicing of the hair,” says Tracey Hughes, global creative director of ReGenesis® by RevitaLash® Cosmetics. “And shorter hair looks thicker and fuller, so it’s a great option for fine and thinning hair. Finally, the sole priority should be on maintaining good scalp health, as that’s the key to healthy hair. Massaging the scalp regularly will increase blood circulation to the surface.”

Tracey’s advice, combined with this cutting how-to, will help you give your fine and thinning clients the fuller-looking hair of their dreams!
