The Best Styles for Masking Hair Loss THROUGH THICK AND THIN
Everyone knows about male-pattern balding, but hair loss can come as a rude surprise to many women as they enter their 40s and 50s. Unfortunately, the lost hair rarely returns, but there are ways to look beautiful and confident despite a receding hairline or widening part. The right solution will depend on where you’ve experienced the most loss, so we’ve compiled several ways to draw attention back toward the locks you have left. Receding Hairline Women’s most common form of hair loss occurs around the temples. Fortunately, you have numerous options if your hairline is creeping farther back on your head. Bangs are a tried-and-true option to camouflage the problem, and side-swept bangs can make the tactic less obvious. Meanwhile, face-framing layers can help blend your thinning edges into your overall hairstyle, disguising them as a part of the cut. Finally, carefully placed headbands can look chic while also covering any problem areas. Loss of Volume Another common problem is the overall thinning of your hair. There may not be specific problem patches, but the hair looks limp and less
voluminous than before. While many think a longer style will make their hair look thicker, the opposite is true. Instead, try a blunt bob. The reduced weight will help lift roots, and the sharp edge along the bottom will help your hair appear fuller. Further, remember that it’s easier to create volume with your blow dryer and hair products when your hair is short. Thinning Patches Centralized hair loss is challenging to cover, but it’s not impossible! Women experiencing hair loss around their normal hair part will likely benefit from a zigzag or flipped side part to disguise the thinning. The head’s crown is another common location for bald patches. Try a top knot or high ponytail to hide the issue. Just be sure not to pull the hair too tight, or it could bring unwanted attention to other types of thinning. Every woman’s hair texture and volume are different, so you might need to experiment until you discover a style that works for you. Your best bet is to find a hairstylist you trust and ask their opinion. They’ll know which options will flatter or fall flat.
