If you prefer to wear your fine locks long, Arrojo suggests trying bangs, which trick the eye into thinking that your whole head of hair is as thick as the fringe, as seen here on Jessica Biel. "There is no one perfect way to wear bangs," says Arrojo. "It depends on the style, and it depends how you want to accent the temples and eyes. But full, straight deep set bangs would be best for hiding a thinning hair line at the front." So, there you have it: If you've been toying with the idea of going for the bang-up job, this could be the final encouragement you need.

To maximize the impact of the bang, blow them out smooth (but not too straight, as a little bit of bend can enhance the thickness illusion) and finish with a light coat of hairspray. As bangs can tend to get greasy as the day wears on, you'll definitely want to have some dry shampoo handy to give your bangs a boost, if needed.
