#13: Middle-Parted Choppy Bob for Thin Hair

Think about trying a middle-parted choppy bob. In my experience, fine hair can sometimes be an advantage. Layered thin hair gives you those see-through ends easily. And, with less bulk to remove. Add a long fringe to your chin-length shaggy bob. It will enhance the choppy shape well.

However, curtain bangs look best on short hair.
