How should I style thin 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.

To avoid the situation of ending up with a style you did not want be sure to discuss your desired style with your hairdresser in full.

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.

Of course, if you have a darker scalp then a darker colour would be better.

There are lots of decent volume adding shampoos on the market.

It is also advisable not to let fine or thinning hair get too greasy.

Hair cuts around chin length are excellent for women.

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 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.

As distressing as fine and thinning hair can be there are different styles that can benefit you. - 15343
