Some people just aren’t blessed with beautiful, healthy, thick hair that the likes of Penelope Cruz or Selena Gomez show off so effortlessly. Most of us can only dream of having such luscious, cascading locks. But how can us thin-haired girls beef up our styles?

The Huffington Post spoke to stylist Nick Stenson who said that the key to creating an illusion of thick and full hair is to keep the length of your hair above your shoulders.

So yes. There you have it. It's time for the scissors. Stenson says that these 3 hairdos will give fine-haired humans a much fuller look:  

The Shag

This wavy mane makes your hair look fuller without even trying. And what's more is that it’s perfect for when you’re in a rush. Celebrities like actress Julianne Hough and South African model Minki van der Westhuizen personify the shag hairstyle and creating it just takes a few swishes and a curling iron.

The Bob

You'd be surprised how easy it is to maintain this old classic. KFM presenter Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp shows us that it’s also an effortless hairstyle for a mom constantly on the go.  

The Modern Pixie

This cut is timeless: we’ve seen it work wonders from the classic beauty, Audrey Hepburn, to the effortlessly cool and edgy Lena Durham. The hairstyle has an androgynous charm that is very modern and sleek.
