Thinning hair is something which is very difficult to come to terms with. Whatever the cause for hair loss, it isn't easy to find hairstyles for thinning hair that look good.

Identify your Face Type

The first step to take in deciding on hairstyles for thinning hair would be to identify the shape of your face. Do you have a round, oval, square, rectangular, triangular or heart shaped face? Your style will depend on your face type and what would suit it best.

If you have a round face, keep your hair off your forehead to make it look longer. Let the sides frame your face to make it look narrower. If you have a longer facial structure, consider bangs to make it look shorter and fuller. After you identify the shape, you can concentrate on designswhich will suit you - your stylist can help.

Styles for Men

There aren't too many options in hairstyles for thinning hair for men. Longer cuts aren't an option as thinning tends to look limp and plastered to the scalp.

The best choice would be a very short cut. This would serve to give it a much thicker look. It is likely to give you more bounce and make it look fuller.  As unappealing as this may be, we all applauded Bruce Willis when he went short!

Designs for Women

For women, styles for thinning hair tend to be shorter. Ideally, thinning hair should be kept around chin length or maybe slightly longer. Long flowing tresses are out of the question since long thinning hair will be lank and lacklustre. It will also be flyaway and lack body and bounce.

Short heavily layered cuts, maybe even geometric styles will make hair look thicker and fuller. A short bob which is shorter at the back and longer at the sides will make hair appear thicker than it is.

Your best bet before trying a new style is to find products for thicker hair. There are shampoos and conditioners that plump the follicles adding body and life.  Hair vitamins should also be considered.  Though 2-3 months is needed for results, vitamin supplements have been shown to increase thickness, shine, and volume.

Tips is you're losing and shedding

There are some precautions to take before deciding on hairstyles for thinning hair. Keeping hair covered when out in the sun will prevent the hair from becoming brittle and flyaway. Also avoid using curling irons and hairdryers as they dry the hair out and make it fall even more.

Additionally, despite this sounding like a sales pitch, products that improve thickness and those that help growth do work.  While there are many formulations to choose from, those developed specifically for men and women help stop hair loss, increase thickness and often restore growth - especially if underlying causes of loss are temporary.
