Thinning hair is a problem many women face, but new formulas and the latest in technology provides women with many different treatments, solutions and ways to cover or hide the hair loss.
Some women choose to wear a wig to cover gradual hair loss. Wigs can range in length and color to accommodate every woman, but they can also be very uncomfortable and inappropriate for water sports or windy, rainy days. In place of wigs, some women choose hairpieces, which are often real hair that is sewn or otherwise attached to a headband, barrette or clip. These allow you to simply appear to have thicker hair than you actually do.
If hairdos and hair products aren't enough, you can purchase formulas over-the-counter to apply, which claim to regrow your own hair. Although these products might work for some women, they will not work for all women. Most of the formulas require you to use them for endless months, with little or no immediate or future change. New techniques provide women with further options. They might include having hair transplants or plugs of hair inserted under the skin of the scalp, but the techniques are expensive and can be somewhat uncomfortable. These treatments result in the most natural appearance of the hair.
No matter which method you choose, you don't have to be embarrassed by thinning hair any more. Try a product or a hairstyle, and if that doesn't work, try another option. You can combine several things at once, too, like using the volumizing shampoo while applying the nightly "hair regrowth" system and wearing clip-on hairpieces during the day.
If your hair is thinning on the top, it helps to quit washing your hair in the shower, where the water pounds down on top of your head, and begin leaning back and having someone wash your hair, or leaning forward over a sink. Also, don't switch hair products often. Using assorted shampoos and rinses on hair only complicates the problem. And, be easy on your hair. Don't tug at tangles. Comb hair from the bottom, up, moving up only after all tangles are gone from that area. Don't "scrub" hair with fingernails and keep hair clean and well brushed.
