style Hair cute

When it comes to hair, volume is like the unattainable boy in your high school homeroom. We all want it, would do anything to get it, but usually end up just making ourselves look silly. (Please reference the Great Teasing Comb Disaster of 2004.) And just like any unattainable boy, getting volume comes down to a matter of playing the game better than he—er, it—does. That means mastering a combination of volumizing hair products, strategic heat styling, and a hairspray that just won’t quit. But most importantly, that means you need to start with the proper base: a volume-boosting haircut. From thickening blunt lobs to texturizing layered shags to height-defying chin bobs, these haircuts know how to pump up the volume from the get-go, as if they’ve come straight from the shears of Dolly Parton’s wig stylist. No matter if you have thin hair or thick, straight hair or curly, these volume haircuts are sure to welcome 2020 with your highest crown yet.
