How to Draw Attention Away From Thinning Hair

Minimize the negative effects of thinning hair by drawing attention away from the thinning areas with a layered hairstyle. Short layers on the crown can provide more coverage. Medium length or shorter hairstyles are best for women with thin hair. Long hair tends to pull hair to the sides and emphasize the hair loss.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Wear bangs or a face-framing style to emphasize your facial features. This will draw attention away from your thinning hair. Flipping the ends of your hair will have the same effect.

2. Use root booster products like hair spray, gel or conditioners. Such products provide volume and help conceal the thinning areas.

3. Find out whether you’re a cool or warm person, and choose your makeup colors accordingly. This will accentuate your facial features and draw attention away from your hair. Wear colors that flatter your complexion to draw attention to your face.

4. Consider wearing jewelry like earrings or a necklace. A silk scarf will also do the trick.

5. Request a military hair cut if you’re a male experiencing hair loss. This type of haircut makes hair appear thicker. Other hairstyles for men include short waves or spikes. Shag hairstyles also work for thinning hair because the longer hair can minimize the thinning areas.

6. Add facial hair to your style if you’re a male. Growing a beard or mustache will draw attention to your face instead of to the thinning areas or to a receding hairline.

Tips & Warnings

• Use organic products as much as possible. It's important to keep the hair follicles toxin-free to prevent further hair loss and promote new hair growth.
• Avoid using hair extensions if you're a woman. They will add stress to your hair and increase the hair loss.
• Avoid barrettes or hair pieces. They separate your hair and draw more attention to your thinning hair.
