One of the best solutions for fine hair is to wear a mane below the shoulders, with layers and waves, like that of Kate Bosworth, so it will appear that you have more volume.
Round face: short
Round face: short
It may be the least recommended cut for you because it could expose sparsely populated areas, but beware that it can fit you as well as Michelle Williams if you know how to "tame" it. The back and sides are shorter than the rest and all the prominence is given to the bangs, which are worn lopsided and with some wave. You can comb it so that you cover the entrances, if you have one.
Round face: undone waves
Round face: undone waves
The slight scaling of the front locks gives the mane plenty of movement, but without leaving it depopulated. The key to this style is to wear it with undone surfer waves. A great success in this type of hair. Since your hair is fragile, it is better not to subject it to the use of heat tools on a daily basis, so to curl your hair, it is best to gather it into two little buns while it is wet, let it finish drying like that and then release it.
Round face: lopsided bangs
Round face: lopsided bangs
If you have fine hair and also marked features, nothing like lopsided bangs to hide the less populated areas, such as the forehead, and a layered and wavy mane that gives more volume and movement to the hair. It is the ideal option so that you look much more favored and with hair.
Elongated face: long hair
Elongated face: long hair
If you have a long face and little amount of hair, but you want to wear it long, you will have to work on it a bit. The smooth board here is not an option, because it would elongate the features too much. What is needed in these cases is to give volume to the middle area of the mane. And for that, you know, nothing better than waves. If you have long hair and you don't want to always resort to curlers, sleep with braids at night.
Elongated face: straight / curly
Elongated face: straight / curly
This type of hair is one of the most difficult to style, but be careful because you can get a lot out of it like Julianne Moore does. Its cut is still a classic long bob with layers, but by waving only the middle and final part of the mane, it balances the face and gives it a spectacular appearance.
Elongated face: short with bangs
Elongated face: short with bangs
One of the best tactics you can follow if you want to wear your hair short is to add a somewhat disheveled fringe like Robin Wright's. If you also use some babylights highlights, which focus on highlighting and attenuating features by creating points of light in strategic places, you will be able to visually give it more volume.
Elongated face: layered

It is very important that this type of hair be worn with layered cuts to increase its volume. Lyv Tyler also wears loops in the middle of her hair, so she manages to balance her long face and give her scant hair more volume.

Bob cuts are ideal for all types of women, whatever their hair is. Diane Kruger, who has very fine hair, wears it in waves for movement and a somewhat rebellious touch that also makes her look younger.
Square face: straight bangs

The bangs are also ideal for sparsely populated hair, because they can cover the front area, which is usually one of the scarcest. Of course, the bangs should be light and long so as not to have to cut too much hair and leave the rest depopulated. Keep it slightly open to soften your features if you have a slightly square jaw.
Square face: semi-gathered
Square face: semi-gathered
Semi-updos can be a good option, but remember to leave a few loose strands next to the face that cover the lack of hair on the sides, as Keira Knightley does. Forget the updos that have all the hair back.
Square face: boyish with bangs
Square face: boyish with bangs
Girls with little hair and a face with a very marked jaw can resort to this type of cut. It is a "boyish" or "boyish style" not too short, to which a fringe is added that makes it seem that we have more hair than the real one.
Oval face: curtain bangs
Oval face: curtain bangs
It is very subtle, but if you notice, the front locks only reach the cheeks and even if they are combed back they "open" the mane. You have to add waves at the ends, as Irina Shayk does, with the help of a pair of tweezers or an iron to achieve the ideal result.
Oval face: long bob
Oval face: long bob
Long bobs also flatter all women. If you have an oval face, you can add short but open bangs, like Alexa's, to update the cut a bit. When dyeing it, go for a soft gradient. Visually, it also adds more volume as the tone lightens.
Oval face: carré
Oval face: carré
It is going to be one of the star cuts for this summer and it is the most glamorous. For those with little or very fine hair, it is a good idea to leave the side section slightly longer than the rest so that it attracts all the attention. When combing it, it should be dried by hollowing out the roots so that it gains more volume.
Oval face: to one side
Oval face: to one side
Carrying the part to the side is a good tactic to increase the volume of one of the sides of the head. The other, better to wear it up or behind the ear, like Paula Echevarría.
Triangular face: XL mane
Triangular face: XL mane
If you want to wear long hair you can, but, as we have already said in other cuts, layers are mandatory. In this case, it is vital to give volume to the root, for this, when you have it dry, shake them with the cold air of the dryer and you will have a mane as spectacular as Nicole Kidman's.
Oval face: straight bob
Oval face: straight bob
If your hair, in addition to being fine, is smooth as a board (something quite common on the other hand), you can also wear a bob cut. Of course, get styling products (a dry shampoo or a spray) that add volume so that it does not stay too close to your head.
Oval face: long bob
Oval face: long bob
Another ideal option for triangular or heart-shaped faces is the long bob, the same cut as before, but a little longer. Here you can add waves if you feel like it or continue with the smooth board. Of course, the layers are once again essential.
Oval face: tousled
Oval face: tousled
Highly polished looks don't do you any favors because they don't flatter you, so go for the disheveled ones, which are much more current and will help make you look younger.

Olga G. San Bartolomé's tricks to care for fine hair
- Wash it daily, but with little shampoo. It is okay to wash your hair daily when it is very fine, because it is true that it gets dirty very easily. But do not apply shampoo twice, a "hazelnut" product is enough.
- Use special shampoo for fine hair. Don't make the mistake of washing it off with a greaseproof shampoo. With the continued use of this type of shampoo, you can end up causing a flaking of the scalp.
- Forget about products that contain silicone. Shampoos, conditioners, and masks that contain silicones will make your hair dirty even faster.
- Low density mane? Try to change the line of site. This way you will see how your hair seems to have more volume.
- From time to time, dry shampoo. There are those that even incorporate some color to hide areas less populated by hair. Visually it will appear that you have more hair instantly.
- Use leave-in conditioner. Fine hair is usually hair that needs a lot of water. If you don't give it to him, it will look dry, dull, and lifeless. With the leave-in conditioner, you will maintain hydration throughout the day.
