How to Fill in Your Hairline From a Bad Haircut
Bad haircuts happen. When a haircut is so bad that it exposes too much of your hairline, you might need to fill in some of those thinner gaps to make your hair look full again. The most important thing to do is to let your hair grow out, which will take some time. But meanwhile, there are temporary solutions to correct a bad haircut that thins your hairline. Does this Spark an idea?

Touch up your hairline with a hair color touchup stick. A hair color touchup stick is hair color in the form of a stick---like lipstick---that you apply to your scalp. You can look for a color that matches your hair color, so that the colors blend and the touchup stick fills in the gaps where your hairline should be. The touchup stick color washes right out, and you can apply it throughout the day if you notice the effects fading.

Give yourself bangs. If your last bad haircut left your hairline a little too high, bangs are an effective way to make your forehead look smaller and disguise your hairline. Even if you just cut a few bangs in the front, the shorter pieces from the bangs can fill in the hairline.

Style your hair in a way that hides the hairline. For women, this may include parting the hair to one side and making the hair sweep across the forehead, thereby covering the hairline. For men, styling the hair down and forward, toward the forehead, may be a solution for filling in a fading hairline.

Fill in your hairline by wearing hair accessories. Guys and girls can wear hats that cover the hairline, and girls can sport headbands or sport bands that wrap around the hairline.

Restore your hairline with hair transplants. This is a surgical procedure that transplants hair follicles into your hairline. A cosmetic surgeon who specializes in hair transplants can let you know if you are a good candidate for such a procedure.
