HAIR STYLING TIPS FOR THINNING HAIR...


Thinning hair can be very discouraging. Whether you are a woman going through menopause, or a young man experiencing loss of hair, these tips may be helpful. So, if you have noticed that your hair is not as thick as it once was, or if you suddenly notice more scalp showing, take a look here.

Try using a thickening shampoo. You may want to look for a product that contains dimethicone which is known for building hair volume. It might be wise to use conditioning products prior to using the thickening shampoo. This way you can still benefit from the conditioning without weighing the hair down as many conditioning products tend to weigh hair down. When blow-drying hair, use it on a low setting as this will also build volume. There are some really nice ionizing blow-dryers on the market that have tourmaline inside that helps the hair look its healthiest and shiniest. It has been my personal experience that this type of blow-dryer adds some nice volume without making hair look damaged. Avoid using mousses and hair gels as these products can weigh hair down. Try using a good root lifter with plant extracts and maybe try a volumizing product that contains panthenol.

Using a round brush when blow-drying will help to add volume. Dry hair in sections and lift hair at the roots while concentrating heat to that area. Finish with a blast of cold air to set the style. Try adding a few layers to your hairstyle. Ask your hairstylist about cutting some shorter layers on top to allow the top of your hair to lift easier. Hair will look fuller this way. Possibly add some highlights in areas away from the thinning area to draw attention away from the thin spots. Do not part hair in the middle as this will just draw attention to this area if you have noticed your part getting wider. Instead allow hair to part naturally and not stick straight.

Hope these ideas were helpful to you...
