Styling tips for Thinning Hair

Whether you were born with naturally fine hair, or are experiencing thinning hair, there are easy short term solutions to make your hair look fuller. In this article, we are focusing on how to make thinning hair look fuller with a simple change in hairstyle. Low-density hair is when you can see your scalp through your hair. If you have low-density hair, talk to your hair stylist and they’ll most likely be able to help you, here are some options:

Go Short: A lot of people tend to grow their hair long and use it to cover up the thinning hair. Sorry to say, but this just makes your thinning hair look more obvious. We suggest going for a short hair cut because it gives the illusion of thickness, it also offers a cleaner look.

A lot of us have thicker hair on the sides and back of our heads than the top, if this is the case, balance your look by asking your hair stylist to clip/or thin the sides and back.

If you are daring, add curls to the top of your head, it will A hairstyle featuring short layers on the back and sides and curls to add volume on the top of the head will usually give you a balance in the appearance of the hair's thickness, and will be flattering.

Layer your look: Try cuts that were intended to be worn behind your ears. This naturally makes it look like you've got more hair.

An asymmetric style makes it look like you have more hair. The cut stacks up on the heavy side and lighter side is supposed to look like less. Tuck the lighter (thinner) side behind your ear and all that fullness on heavier side stands out even more.

Get Curly: Flat-straight hair emphasises thinning and fine hair. Add a little texture to your hair with curls. This will give your hair softness and movement, making it look thicker.

Add a splash of colour: The darker the contrast between your scalp and your hair colour the more attention it draws to your thinning hair. Ask your stylist to place high-lights and low-lights in strategic places to make a ‘balanced contrast’ on the head that reflects light. This balanced contrast puts the focus on your hairstyle and stops people from ‘looking right into the scalp.’

Don’t pump up the volume: Depending on the stage of your hair thinning, you should avoid adding volume by teasing your hair. Volume is good, but too much when you have little hair draws more attention to your thinning hair.
