If you have fine or thinning hair you might feel it is difficult to find a hair style that suits you. A trip to a barber or hairdresser can be a source of distress.
Visiting a hairdresser can be a source of distress.
For men, the most sensible and easiest style is a short, clean cut. One of the worst mistakes a guy can make with thinning or fine hair is to grow it long, spike it or jell it. These accentuate the thinning hair and draw attention to it.
And in no circumstances attempt the dreaded 'comb over' by growing your hair at the sides and the back long and combing over the fine or receding areas.
This will highlight the fact that you have thinning hair.
Make the hair lighter if you are light skinned.
If you are darker skinned dye your hair darker.
There are also a vast range of thickening shampoos and conditioners that add volume to the hair and are less likely to break and damage the already weakened follicle.
Reguarly wash your hair.
For women, chin length cuts are recommended by most stylists. Again, attention and emphasis will be on the features, face and neck, rather than the hair.
As is similar for men, hair that is too long will make the hair appear weaker and thinner than it actually is.. Curling irons and straighteners should be avoided as they can seriously damage hair.
A shortish 'bobb' type cut with the hair brushed behind the ears is of the trendiest current looks and can do wonders to add volume to hair, especially if the hair is layered correctly at the back.
Don't use extensions. They are likely to damage your hair.
As distressing as fine and thinning hair can be there are different styles that can benefit you. - 15275
