"Hi, I'm Amelia. And I'm going to talk to you about how to deal with a receding hair line. When a hair line recedes it mainly means that this area basically your hair line starts to move its way back. That happens in a lot of men and woman as we age. And our hormone levels tend to drop. There are ways to disguise that by the way you wear your hair. For example if your hair line goes back like this in more of a widows peak type of style you could wear bangs. Maybe to one side or the other to sort of cover that. Anything that comes down on the forehead is going to cover that receding hair line. Same with men. What I see with a lot of men is as they age they still have this tuft of hair up here but the hair lines going back further and further, and further. This tuft of hair really needs to get shorter. When you've got a long or a large amount of hair right through the top and it's sort of just sitting there or hanging there it gets to the point where this, is it going to attract attention? So if this attracts attention so does this. If you're really trying to mask your receding hair line and you're a man I highly recommend just going short. Because actually as scary as that may sound that brings a lot less attention to the area. And with woman like I said you could go with a full bang. You could wear something that comes down over the area. A lot of times woman will also tend to thin through here. So they need to watch what colors they choose and they also need to look for sometimes a little bit less volume in that area because volume you can see right threw it if there's not much hair there. So if you wear the hair a little bit flatter and closer to the head that will help disguise a receding hair line. So those are some tips you can use to help you disguise your receding hair line."
