Quick Styling Tips for Thinning Hair

Article by HairlossTalk.com

Read about some hair tips, styling tricks, and clothing hints you can use to offset that "aging" look that your hair loss may be giving you. Keep people's focus off your hair, and on other more important things...As seen in a murder case last year when a bald man got furious when a friend tore off his wig, impaired self-esteem is the most serious problem for those losing their hair.. According to a survey by Professor Kim Hwi-jun at Kyunghee Medical School, 69.8 percent of balding men reported peer teasing about their condition, and 89.3 percent of unmarried men suffering from hair loss thought that their condition would erode their chances for romance.

However, the disadvantage can turn into an advantage with a tactful hairstyle and coordination. Image consultant Kang Jin-ju suggested a number of ways to look attractive with little hair.

The reality is that most people are not going to even make a conscious note of your hair. How many people do you see every day that have thinning hair and you've never really paid attention to it? Maybe now that you're losing your hair, you notice more, but before that, as a teenager, did you walk around going "Man, that guys losing his hair"? Most likely not, unless the person looked really bad with it.

Hair Loss & Aging

The stigma with the young professional man experiencing hair loss is that of "Aging". Not only to himself, but to others, thinning hair or a receding hair line is first and foremost associated with getting older. Looking older. Being older. For those losing their hair prematurely, this is absolutely the biggest difficulty they face. It seems to signal the end of youth, and that can be a huge blow to self esteem and self confidence. But there are some things you can do with your hair, and clothing, and accessories that can completely offset the appearance of aging. It's all Human Psychology 101 (well ok, maybe 400), and the experts have some tips.

Kang advises men to shave their hair short, keeping it shorter than 1 cm, rather than trying to hide the bald area awkwardly with long hair. In this way, baldness is little noticed. "Depending on one's workplace, dying their hair in a soft brown tone is another solution", she added.

Using Subtle Highlights & Hair Products

Guys with minor thinning in the front can really mask the thinning with the right coloring and styling products. Assuming you have that 1 to 2 inch messy straight hair look thing going, another great idea is to get the tips highlighted. This all depends on the color of your hair, but if its dark, getting a slightly lighter, almost unnoticeable tint to the ends, while the roots stay slightly darker, will play a big role in creating an illusion of density at the base of the hair. A layered hair cut where the hair lays flat on top of itself, while hairs further forward grow out from under them ... also can play a big role in masking overall thinning. Also with this type of hair cut, the products you use can play an immense roll. We can't stress this enough. For the photos you see here, Paul Mitchell Wax Works (White tube) and Tigi Bed Head Power Trip Gel were used to almost completely cover up the thinning.
