Fine hair isn’t necessarily sparse – it’s just that the hair shafts are finer than wiry hair shafts.  So long, fine hair always benefits from tousled waves that give extra volume and such a silky, shiny texture.  This dark chocolate base gets cute, 3-D color depth from the lovely copper balayage highlights!

Chocolate-cherry hair color looks as good as it sounds on this long, wavy hairstyle. And mirror-gloss treatment creates plenty of light and shade to highlight the smooth, wavy texture!  Starting the waves higher up the head helps to unite upper and lower sections of hair and looks more natural.

This shade is known as aubergine (egg-plant) because it echoes the deep purple of this glossy vegetable!  It’s also a color that can drain the color out of pale skin, so consult an expert colorist to get the perfect shade for you.  On long, black hair it adds an intriguing air of gothic mystery and this hairstyle has red balayage in the lower lengths, too!

This attractive medium-length bob is a great way to use the natural volume and maybe a little natural wave in thick hair.  The long layers have an angular wave near the ends, which are heavily textured to give a cute, uneven edge.  Then add red, copper, purple and blonde balayage highlights for a fashionable and classy look!

This dark-chocolate hairstyle has just a hint of red applied as balayage to highlight the lovely rippling waves. The thick hair has been layered to add shape and is cut in a relaxed U-shape back leaving shorter strands to soften the line around the face.

This is one of our favorites because of the highly-pigmented, deep colors in this russet color design with sunset-orange ombré.  Shiny hair cut into a straight style with a U-shaped curved at the back is the perfect candidate for a rich color scheme.  Make sure you keep the ends trimmed regularly to avoid tatty-looking tips.

Shorter waves are easier to manage and add lots of volume to fine hair, which would look too thin in a longer length.  The gorgeous look is very glamorous with high waves gently draped down past the shoulders.  Add in the red all-over tint and super-cool, lavender patches and you’ve got a really trendy and feminine hairdo!

Highlighting has returned to the original artistic technique called, balayage, but that doesn’t mean vertical lines are out of fashion.   Lighter red highlights look super on this model’s straight hair, emphasizing the length and adding softness to the line around the face!
