How should I style thin hair?

By Stephen Lambert

If you suffer from fine or thinning hair it canaoften feel hard to get the right hairstyle.

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.

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 highlight the fact that you have thinning hair.

Make the hair lighter if you are light skinned.

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.

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 shortish 'bobb' type cut with the hair brushed behind the ears is of the trendiest current looks and can do wonders to add volume to hair, especially if the hair is layered correctly at the back.

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. - 15485
