3 Men’s Hairstyles for Fine Hair

For the record, fine hair and thin hair are different beasts. Fine hair means that each individual strand is smaller in diameter than thicker hair. Thin hair refers to having fewer strands of hair on the head and of course thinning hair. Fine hair can be thin or you can have a full head of fine hair. Either way, fine hair can tend to fall flat. Fine hair is frequently light in color but can also be brown, black, and grey.

With the right haircut and products, fine hair can be worn in the latest styles. Here are 3 of the best men’s hairstyles for fine hair for 2013.
