first of all lets talk about hair and the difference between fine and thin hair. fine hair is referring to a single strand of hair, it can be fine, medium or coarse. thin or thick hair is referring to the density or how many hairs you have on your head. you can have any combination of these two categories, but most of these tips are geared towards people with fine & thin hair or just thin hair.
short is usually better, not saying you need to try a pixie if you have thin hair but i'd say not much longer than the shoulders would be a good length. when cutting thin hair a lot of stylists don't feel the need to add layers because it will make the hair appear thinner, however i usually always add some light layering in thin hair to help create volume. so shorter hair and layers is a good place to start.
using product that is designed for fine or thin hair will make such a difference, all products designed for thin hair need to be lightweight while still providing volume and hold. here's a list of some of my favorites.

blow drying volume into the hair is a very important step as well. once you apply your pre-blowdrying products, you’ll need to dry your hair. for the smoothest results, use a round brush and dry sections that are a couple inches wide, starting in the nape of your neck and working your way up to the crown. if a round brush seems like too much trouble, you can just hold sections of your hair straight up as you blow dry the roots, or turn your head upside down while blow drying. the point is to dry your roots in the opposite direction that your hair will be laying, for extra lift. and if you aren’t much for blow drying, you can also try setting your hair (especially the crown) in big rollers and letting it air dry.
and the final step, backcombing. if you still need extra lift in your crown area, hold a section of hair straight up, and using a backcombing brush (or other brush with bristles that are very close together), brush the hair starting about 2 inches away from your scalp, firmly down toward your scalp. repeat a few times to create a little poof, and then spray with hairspray underneath to lock it in place. Smooth out the top with your backcombing brush, and spray again.
xo.
