What are the best hairstyles for thinning hair?

By Stephen Lambert

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.

For men, the best hair cut is usually as short cut. Avoid combing it over!

This will almost definitely bring unwanted attention and highlight what you are trying to conceal.

Dyeing the hair lighter will nearly always help by reducing level of contrast between the hair and scalp.

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.

Hair cuts around chin length are excellent for women.

As is similar for men, don't let the hair get too long.

A short cut with hair brushed behind the ears is a most suitable look.

Extensions are an absolute no-no and will add stress to an already weakened hair follicle.

There are surely lots of excellent styles that can help with fine or thinning hair. - 15438
