Hairstyles for Women’s Thinning Hair

August 23, 2010 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

If your thinning hair is giving you the blues, don’t be discouraged. Many women who suffer hair loss or thinning hair go through the same dilemma as you do. Some may resort to wearing hats or headscarves, and others wear wigs or hair extensions; however, you shouldn’t have to. Your thinning hair should not be an obstacle when it comes to sporting stylish hair. Choose a hairstyle that will make your thinning hair unnoticeable.

Layered Crop Haircut

Cutting your thinning hair short is ideal, especially if your hair tends to limp or break easily as it grows longer. One of the short hairstyles is a layered crop cut, which is a short, tapered cut with added layers. Achieve this look by cutting your hair as close to your head as possible or the same level as your nape. Give it a blunt cut using clippers or razors, but allow the sides to taper to frame your face beautifully. Adding layers can give your hair texture and depth. Create the layers in a 45-degree angle in order to make your hair look fuller. Trim your bangs to just above your eyebrows. Using pinking shears will give the strands of your bangs sharp edges. This type of haircut can put focus on your eyes. Sweep your bangs to one side; however, allow some of the strands to touch the tip of your eyebrows to frame your eyes. Trimming your crop cut every four to six weeks will maintain its length.

Curly Hair

Curling your hair is one of the best approaches you can take for your thinning hair, whether you have short, medium-length or long hair. Use small (1-inch) barrel curling iron or hot curlers. Adding curls from the top to the back and then to the sides of your hair can make your hair look fuller. Make sure to create the curls as close to each other as possible to eliminate gaps so that your scalp will not be visible. Add volumizing mousse, and tousle your hair to make it look voluminous.

Bob Cut

Choose from the many variations of the bob cut to give your thinning hair a boost. One option is the ear-lobe length bob cut that can make your hair look more abundant than it really is. Do this with or without bangs. If you do not care for this length, try a longer version that is at chin level, which is more forgiving on whatever shape of face you have. Try an inverted bob cut if the back of your hair is suffering from hair loss more than the top or front of your hair. With an inverted bob, the back is shorter (cut above the back of the neck) than the front (cut at chin level). The inverted bob gives the illusion of fuller hair because the front, which is the first that people see, is longer than the back. Adding spikes on the top of your inverted bob makes your hair appear even more substantial.
