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.
It is important that you can discuss your fine or thinning hair and the style you want with the person cutting it and not feel any embarrassment or 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.
At all costs avoid the 'comb over.' This is absolutely the worst thing to do with thinning hair.
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 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.
Try not to let the hair get greasy.
Cuts to chin length are best for women. This will draw attention to your fine features, away from the hair.
Men too should not grow hair too long. Avoid anything that can damage hair such as blowdrying.
A great hairstyle for women is the 'bobb' cut as it adds volume.
Do not go for extensions as they can seriously damage fine and thinning hair. With the right style you can find a style that benefits you. - 15359
