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. THE BEST STYLES FOR MASKING HAIR LOSS Through Thick and Thin
