Help Choosing The Best Hair Styles For Thinning Hair

Some styles will emphasise thinning hair and others may make the situation worse or appear worse than it really is. In women for instance pulling hair back tightly into a pony tail can cause trauma to already weakened hair roots. The hair is literally being pulled out. Yet it is a style adopted by some women whose hair is thinner than it used to be in an attempt to hide a scalp which now shows through. Or perhaps it is just the style they have had for a while. Also long hair styles can emphasise thin hair so go for a short , closer to the head cut. This may seem like a contradiction – cutting off hair because you are loosing hair, but it really does make a difference as does a more layered look.

Hair dressers will tell you to lay off the hair dryers or at least use them only on the lowest settings. They will also be able to tell you about the various volumising products that are now available. Mousses should be applied to the roots so that hair is lifted up. Working from the roots spread the product away from the scalp. Then cool blow dry, finger dry or scrunch. Volumising sprays should be applied to strands of hair that have been lifted up. Spray from the roots upward when the hair is almost dry. The spray will coat the individuals hairs and make them seem thicker.

As for men there is no need to let hair loss lower your self esteem. And as for sexual attractiveness – Whatever men may think women everywhere know that what matters about a man isn’t a matter of how much hair he has on his head. Think or Julius Caesar or Napoleon. And, speaking as one who knows, I would rather see a man with an honest bald head, than a comb over or even worse a toupee, any day. As for implants they can end up looking like cornrow dollies scalps. Hair just doesn’t grow like that. A popular option is to grow hair on the face – a beard or moustache to take the attention away from the top of the head. Or, if you are so inclined, how about a neat pony tail, not too tight, or even a braid. Notice that word ‘neat’ by the way. It also stands for clean and tidy. Women find clean hair attractive, wherever it is on the head. And a man who is confident in his own abilities is attractive.

The short, clean cut is a good one. It is easy to take care of as well. Some people like to lighten their hair. The contrast between scalp and hair is diminished and so makes thinning hair less noticeable. A more radical alternative for men is to shave it all off. People will have no way of knowing that you haven’t chosen to go bald, this is now becoming one of the most popular hair styles for balding men. Think of Crystal Maze host Richard O’Brien. He shaved his head years ago for a part and has stayed that way. Perhaps even he doesn’t know how much hair he would now have if he let it grow.
