The Best Hairstyles for Shiny And Silky Hair

Fine silky hair is divine to run fingers through, and your partner is lucky to touch it. But, it comes with some drawbacks. It's usually limp and gets easily weighed down with a lot of products. What to do? Get a cut that works with your hair type instead of against it, and follow a few simple styling tips.Inverted BobThe inverted bob style works with fine hair because of its shape. Higher in the back and angled forward on the diameter to be longer in the front, this style creates volume with stacked layers, giving the illusion you have more hair than you do. And there's nothing wrong with that. There are different versions of the inverted bob, from dramatic rock star to a more subtle, office-appropriate look. Talk to your stylist about length and angle of the bob before she sets her scissors to your locks.Pixie CutA long pixie cut might be just the thing for your fine hair. Think Demi Moore in the movie "Ghost" -- how simply chic was she? Very. A more modern example is Michelle Williams' platinum cut. Feathered, side-swept bangs balance out round and angular faces, and the feathering gives the effect of more hair.LayersIf you're just not a fan of short hair, don't worry. You can get away with longer hair, provided it has layers and you know how to style it. With long hair, you risk the limp factor from product weigh-down, but you don't have to be a victim of it. Just tell your stylist that you want a long hairstyle with a lot of layers that adds volume and draws attention to your face. Shag styles work well, and so does face framing.Styling TipsRather than using a lot of product to give your hair volume, use the diffuser on your blow dryer. Blow your hair dry with your head tipped upside down for more lift at the roots, and spray on a touch of root booster once you lift your head up. Use a round brush to curl hair in or outward if you decide to go long with your fine tresses. Never underestimate the power of putting your hair in a braid on a bad hair day. If you choose a short style curly lace front wigs instead, don't saturate your hair in waxes and pomades; use as little as possible to achieve the look you're going for. Wash your hair often to keep the roots from being weighed down with excess oils from your scalp.
