The right styling for hair loss

Beat hair loss symptoms such as receding hairline and the like with simple tips

When hair falls out or thins, it is often not just a cosmetic problem, but also an emotional one. Especially for women, full, long hair is a dream come true, but often enough it is not only people with hair loss who are denied it. If you don't want to show "courage to leave a gap", these simple styling tips can help.

Treat your hair gently!

Treat thinning hair like fine hair: gently! Use care products that are tailored to your hair and avoid anything that stresses the hair, such as complicated blow-dry hairstyles where the hair and scalp are exposed to excessive heat for too long.

Wear your hair as loose as possible

If you are putting it up in a plait, use wide, soft hair elastics rather than hard metal clips. In any case, avoid tying your hair too tightly to prevent breakage, which will make your existing hair look even thinner. You can also follow all the other styling tips for thin hair if you have hair loss.

Be brave!

Use wide hair bands or scarves to style the hair from the forehead. This draws the eye to the headdress and avoids looking too low at the hairline. Alternatively, be brave and wear your hair short! A classic chin-length bob, optionally slanted towards the face, looks modern and makes fine hair look full. If you want to be even bolder, opt for a short hairstyle. You should be careful not to wear your hair too close to your head. Layered hair, tousled with your hands and a little gel, looks cheeky and youthful and conceals thin areas and receding hairlines.

A straight middle parting, on the other hand, draws the eye straight to the problem areas. In this case, opt for a side or zigzag parting, which looks less severe and the hair falls more loosely.

Tips for men

Incidentally, the same applies to men's hairstyles as for women: Style your hair as loose as possible instead of straight and neat. If the side sections are cut shorter, the hair on the top of your head can be styled up or down for a particularly cool look. And if you're in a hurry: who says you can't wear a baseball cap or a fancy hat when you're out for a sandwich?

In any case, you should discuss your wishes with your trusted hairdresser. He or she will be able to cater to your specific needs when washing and drying your hair and give you the best advice when choosing your hairstyle and styling.
