5 Tips for Women With Thinning Hair

Thinning hair can be a major source of frustration for both women and men. Half of the women generally start noticing significant hair loss by the age of 50. This problem plagues women of all ages which often goes unnoticed.

Causes for hair thinning include:

• Heat Styling (curling and perming)
• Hormonal issues
• Stress
• Genetic predisposition

Some common solutions to this problem is concealing and lifestyle changes. However, hair experts recommend getting proper hair loss treatment. Read on to know some useful tips for women with thinning hair.

1. Conceal hair thinning with fibers and extensions

Concealing can be quite effective, although not a long-term solution. If your hair is experiencing more thinning than usual, and the scalp is clearly visible, you can go for hair fibers. These are pigmented fibers made of cellulose that bond to the hair and provide a thickening effect. The color also helps to camouflage visible parts of the scalp. Spray-on powders run the risk of looking artificial, especially if proper shade is not chosen. Unlike popular belief, extensions only add length, while women with hair thinning need coverage.

2. Thinning hair can be cut off strategically

Chopping your tresses strategically and layering can help by giving off the illusion of bouncier and healthier hair. Go for a haircut, lop off inches and add smart layers. This is beneficial because even if your hair is thinning, it is not weighed down by extra inches, making your hair appear thicker. Have the layers concentrated around the face and have a full crop behind. You can also go for bangs, but ensure that the fringe is fuller by having them start further back on the head.

3. Use nourishing and volumizing products

Proper hair loss treatment begins with the right products. Even though shampooing isn’t a long process, it can affect your scalp and the quality of your hair. It infuses the right nutrients which can promote hair growth and stabilize hair fall.

4. Get proper scalp treatment

Proper scalp treatment should be undertaken for a permanent solution to hair thinning. Visit a professional hair specialist to get treatment that is designed especially for you.

In addition to scalp treatments, you must also adopt healthy hair practices to avoid aggravating hair problems further. Avoid brushing and use the comb with the hair wet instead.
