'There is no point in having long unhealthy hair as the condition will always determine the length. If you have fine hair, keep layers longer as over layering will only make the hair appear thinner and sparser. '
Mistake #2: Getting the wrong haircut
The answer to so many hair woes is simple: get more layers. If you have fine strands, this can help a little or hurt a lot, depending on the amount you ask for. Too many layers will make your hair appear even more lacking in body and volume.
A one length haircut on thin hair is particularly best because it creates a dense weight line and really helps to make one's hair fuller in appearance.
A chic blunt bob or lob is one of the best, most strategic haircuts for those with thin or fine hair. But again, you have some flexibility with length, and Maldonado recommends a sleek, straight cut hitting at the chin, neck, or even the collarbone.
Ask for layers.
Long hair that's one length won't do anything for you in terms of making hair look thicker, but layers will give you volume and movement at once.
Interior Layers
While normal layers can have the effect of making hair look thinner—a definite no-no for those of us with already thin strands—interior or invisible layers work to create texture and fullness.
Layered and textured waves make the hair look wider, Tesler says, which gives the illusion that you have fuller hair than you do. Ask your stylist to layer your hair so that it gives dimension to your strands.

If the reason for thinning hair is genetics, it will not grow back on its own. To grow back a healthy, full head of hair, you'll need to take action, and that involves reviewing different hair loss options.
The difference between fine hair and thin hair is to do with the density of your hair and the thickness of the strands. With fine hair, you have lots of hairs with a small diameter. With thin hair, you can have thick hair strands but fewer of them.
Over time, hair fibers become thinner and drop out; unfortunately, they never regenerate. There are natural pigment changes that occur in hair as you age as well. Pigment cells stop producing as much pigment and eventually your once thick, chestnut hair becomes thin, fine and gray.

"Don't confuse the density of hair with diameter," Papanikolas emphasizes. "People with fine hair can have can have a ton of it but still be considered fine. It's looking at the individual hair strands."
Thin hair looks better short, as there's less weight pulling the hair down, making it appear flat. Short hair is also easier to style by adding texture, giving the illusion of more thickness and volume.
Nervous to cut thin, fine hair? Don't be! Longer tresses weigh down hair near the scalp, so you lose fullness and volume at the root.

In conclusion, there was considerable variation in age, health and attractiveness perception of hair with regard to effects of hair diameter, type, and color.
Thicker strands of hair are more likely to have a defect, making them more prone to breakage, the researchers believe. Lustrous, thick hair may be desirable but it is not necessarily the strongest.
