The struggle is real when you have fine hair. On a great day, you're lucky if it can hold a single curl, doesn't fall flat by midday, and isn't a grease ball by 3 p.m. (Also, don't even get us started on trying to find products that can manage our small-but-mighty mane.) When we refer to our precious locks as "fine," it really just means the width of your hair is smaller than our thick-hair friends. That doesn't mean we can't spice it up every now and then, though. There are styles any fine-haired lady can keep in her pocket to make sure that at least her look is intended to create the impression of texture and body. Fine hair spokespeople, otherwise known as celebs like Dakota Johnson, Halle Berry, Kerry Washington, and Cameron Diaz, have been reigning champs against the battle of flat hair for years. We have the pictures to prove it! Go bold and perhaps choose a style that's sure to fall into one of this year's hair trends, or work your natural assets with one of these 35 hairstyles, ahead.

1/35

This Chic Chignon

This classy pulled-back look is one that will never go out of style. For some added face-framing elements like Keira Knightly has here, pull some shorter pieces out for an undone but always chic touch.

2/35

This Bold Side Part

This chin-length chop enhances the jawline like no other. Lucy Liu's dramatic bob is styled with a deep side part, which also makes the cheekbones stand out. It's a look that looks amazing on women of every age.

3/35

This Mermaid-Esque Look

Dakota Fanning's stunning beachy, mermaid-like waves beautifully accentuate her features. Opting for a side part with this look helps frame the face and adds dimension to the look.

4/35

This Old-School Hollywood Wave

With the help of a curling iron or some rollers, adding a wave to long locks helps create the look of voluminous hair. Mindy Kaling's classic '50s wavy 'do adds a fullness to her hair that we love.

5/35

This Hair Accessory

Diane Kruger opted for a chignon with loose, face-framing sections for this amazing red carpet look. To add an element of glam, she added a stunning hair accessory that completes the look.

6/35

This Slick, Easy 'Do

The minimalist look is stunning, as Camila Mendes demonstrates. This slicked hair that falls down the back makes the face the main event. Adding some glitzy earrings like Mendes did adds a point of interest that draws the eye.

7/35

This Sleek Bun

If anyone knows how to pull off a chic updo, it's Natalie Portman. Her sleek, pulled-back look accentuates her dangling earrings. With a dramatic side part that elevates this look, this style is an instant upgrade to anyone who wants to pull if off.

8/35

This Half-Up Look

Leighton Meester sported this fun and stylish half-up, half-down style and nailed it. Her shoulder-grazing bob lends itself to this look, with face-framing strands left out to bring attention to her eyes and jawline.

9/35

This Super-Short Pixie

Zoë Kravitz has mastered the pixie cut, as evidenced here at the Saint Laurent show. Her cropped look makes her cheekbones stand out, and brings attention to her eyebrows as well. This short look is stunningly feminine, and is easy to style.

10/35

This Tucked Behind the Ear Bob

This style makes a dramatic statement, just like Katie Holmes did here. Show off your features or earrings that can't be missed with this polished hairstyle. Pin back your hair with bobby pins if you want to keep everything nice and tight.

11/35

This Wavy Ponytail with Bangs

Dakota Johnson's ponytail has anything you could ever need: the length, the waves, the wisps perfectly framing her face. Opting for a wavy ponytail instead of a straight one will make your hair seem thicker and longer, which is like, always the goal.

12/35

This Wispy Updo

Halle Berry has been hair goals for years, and the way she rocks this wispy updo is *chefs kiss.* There's something about a little hair in your eyes that just adds mystery, romance, and glamour all at the same time. From weddings to the classic Sunday stroll, this hairstyle is perfect for any occasion.

13/35

This Flipped-Out Bob

When you're feeling a little dramatic, may we suggest a flipped-out bob? Channel your inner '60s and add some texturized waves to spice things up a little. Lucy Boynton did it here at the 2019 Golden Globes, and the results were red carpet-worthy.

14/35

This Deep Side Part

This quick hack instantly creates more volume, just like it did for Kerry Washington. If you're looking to channel this style, just know that the perfect deep hair part lines up with the highest point of your eyebrow.

15/35

This Loose Topknot

Alexa Chung may be known for her signature wavy bob, but in this loose topknot, she elevates her brown locks. Not only does this style take a once deemed messy hairstyle into something cute, but it'll help highlight your brows as well.

16/35

This Asymmetrical Short Cut

Of course Kristen Stewart, the queen of cool-girl styles, rocked this edgy short cut the best way. Her deep side part graced one side of her hair withso muchvolume. Maintain your texture for hours on end with a layer of L'Oreal's Boost It Air-Blown Texture Mist ($5). To trick the eye with faux volume, all you have to do is tuck the other side of your hair behind your ear, and take a flat-iron to recreate this fluttery texture.

17/35

This Braided Victorian Updo

This crown braid swept into an updo looks like it was made for Lucy Hale. She's a boho princess in this elegant style. And is that a flower I see peeking in the back?Gorgeous. Updos are not only photogenic if you have a fancy event on your calendar, but they're ideal for fine hair because the style adds so much shape and structure.

18/35

THis Mis-Matched Length Bob

Nina Dobrev proves you can absolutely make your hair's mis-matched length look so chic. Asymmetrical cuts arein: It basically allows one side of your hair to borrow more weight than the other, which in turn means TEXTURE. You don't even have to try hard either. For a beachy style like this, you need a salt texturizing spray, which will do most of the work for you. You may need to take a flat-iron to style a few of your pieces in the front, then scrunch the ends for even more of an effortless finish.

19/35

These Pulled-Back Curls

Headbands will take your hair from pretty to absolutely regal. Exhibit A: The one and only Ruth Negga at the Academy Awards. The actress has natural gorgeous curls, but adorning them with this bejeweled headband added such an elegant touch to her texture.

20/35

This Loose Braid

Cameron Diaz is completely owning this easy braided style. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking things back to the basics with a good old-fashioned braid, but what truly elevates this style is the loose ends falling so perfectly in the front. Allow them to hang freely in the front, and sweep the rest of your hair back into a loose braid fastened by a hair band to keep it from unraveling. Use a mini flat-iron to add a few bends if you want.

21/35

These Romantic Curls

If your hair is on the longer side, you can always go the classic route, like Zoe Saldana, and add glamorous curls. Try trimming your hair by adding subtle layers for face-framing curls.

22/35

This Full Bob With Bangs

At first glance, Beyoncé's "Get Me Bodied" lyrics came to mind, because this bob hasall the body. This style makes it hard to believe that Julianne Hough naturally has fine hair. The combination of her cut, color, and style does the actress' gorgeous features justice. Bangs add dimension to any hairstyle, no matter your texture. To get your lob to look as spacious as this, simply take a rounded brush and tease your hair—focus on your roots to lift your hair as much as possible.

23/35

This Silver, Sleek Bob

There's nothing a cool colorcan't do for your hair. Coating your hair with a color of your choice is an easy distraction; everyone will be too busy complimenting you on your hair color, rather than your texture. Be sure to consult a professional colorist to figure out which shade will suit your skin tone best. Jourdan Dunn was a walking goddess at the Met Gala with this cool-toned, silver hue.

24/35

This Piecey Short Cut

Try to take your attention off of Ruby Rose's badass plum lipstick for one moment and focus on her hair. Slicking one side of her short cut down and styling the other side with feathery bends breathes a whole lot of life into her fine strands. Fine hair hack: Deep side-parts are your friend, if you want volume.

25/35

This Wet Look

Styling your hair like you literally just stepped out of the shower is a vibe. I like to call this style Lazy Girl 2.0. The lovely Margot Robbie wore this stunning wet style on the red carpet, which illustrates how transforming your texture lends so much body to limp strands. Rake a bit of Dream Coat Color Wow's Anti-Humidity Hair Treatment ($28), which happens to be Kim Kardashian West's go-to for those iconic sleek ponytails of hers, through your hair for frizz control and to amplify your glossy shine.

26/35

This Long and Sleek Style

This one's a classic mainstay look for fine hair. The only downside is that this look often gets boring— try parting your hair on different sides and blow-drying your hair upside down for some added volume at the roots.

27/35

This Lift and Curl

Or, for an easy update to long strands, simply wrap your ends around a barrel iron for this swirling curl effect (see: every Kate Middleton photo ever for the full effect). This style works especially well on next day hair. Add some dry shampoo at the roots for extra lift.

28/35

This Half-Updo

A half-updo is an especially elegant way to break up long, fine hair and doesn't require much time or effort. To recreate this satiny effect, use shine-boosting products (or a great conditioner) and smooth over any fly-aways with a flat iron.

29/35

This Cropped Bob

One easy way to add texture to fine hair is a shorter cut. The bob is a classic face framing shape that you can subtly add lift to by round-brushing the ends. It's also the perfect length for going to town with a straightening iron or hot tool. It'll only take 10 minutes to create a head full of beachy waves.

30/35

This Rounded Lob

The rounded lob can be hit or miss depending on how you style it, because sometimes the length can fall flat. Lobs tend to look better on thicker, fuller hair with natural body and texture. To recreate more body, blow dry hair at the roots and round-brush the ends inward for greater volume, or wrap your strands loosely around a hot tool for a slightly wavy effect.

31/35

This Wispy Pixie Cut

One major perk of having fine hair? It looks killer in wispy, piece-y pixie cuts. The soft, light texture of fine hair gives it a gentle feathery quality, but beware of teeny fly-aways. Investing in a pliable wax product to style and keep your hair in place is crucial for maintaining an ultra-short cut on fine hair.

32/35

This Soft Wave

Fine haired people only dream of having this texture naturally. Recreating it requires some extra maintenance, but it's always worth it to add a little texturizing spray and spend some time with a hot tool on special occasions. You'll probably need to use a higher temperature for your curls to hold, so spritz on a heat spray beforehand so your hair doesn't suffer any lasting damage. To ensure that your hair has more hold, try curling hair on next-day hair.

33/35

This Lean Braid

If your greatest struggle every day is a limp ponytail, lean into your natural texture (without zheuzhing and puffing it up) by trying a thin "braided" ponytail instead. You can use the teeny clear elastic bands to section off hair into a braided replica like this one.

34/35

This Floating Ponytail

But if you *do* want a weightier ponytail, you can use a texturing product on your hair, lift your hair at the roots, and spritz with hairspray. To make the rest of your hair appear fuller, try wrapping the ends of your hair around a curling iron for this gorgeous wavy look or invest in some extensions. It's also crucial to prop up your ponytail if it's prone to falling flat, so secure your ponytail with not one, but two elastic bands in a row.

35/35

This Layered Look

Jennifer Aniston is more famous for her layered "The Rachel" than any other hairstyle, and she's continued to style her hair in similar layers throughout her career. Why? Layers work super well on fine hair to give it shape and body. Instead of a flat curtain of hair, you've got plenty of gorgeous layers to style and work with.
