Styling Thinning Hair

When men begin to see their thick mane of hair thin down, it can be a traumatic experience. A survey of more than 500 participants revealed that 24% equated losing their hair to losing a limb.

As hair changes, styling methods must also adapt. Here are some suggestions to add depth to a man's thinning hair:

• Blow dry hair. This will make hair look fuller and less sparse. You'll see an immediate change in the hair’s appearance. Even five minutes of hot air will make a difference.

• Stay far, far away from products that produce sheen. Ditch waxes and silicone based styling aids. Go with matte products.

For women, it’s a different story.

• Go for one length hair cuts instead of layered looks. This will make hair appear more dense.

• Get some highlights and lowlights in order to provide depth and contrast.
