Thinning hair isn’t just a ‘man thing’.
Many women, at some stage of life, will experience a widening centre part or notice that their hairline is looking sparse. They may notice that they are losing more hair than usual when washing or brushing, and that their crowning glory has become less luxurious.
For many of us, our hair is a big part of our appearance and self-confidence. Even the most low-maintenance woman wants her hair to look good. Noticeably thinning hair can cause embarrassment and lower our self-esteem, but don’t worry – help is at hand.
Causes of Hair Loss in Women
Common causes of thinning hair in women include:
- hormone imbalances eg pregnancy, childbirth and menopause
- medical conditions such as alopecia or thyroid issues
- treatment for cancer eg chemotherapy
- and lifestyle factors such as stress and diet.
While hair often grows back after treatment or lifestyle changes, it can still be many months before it’s back to ‘normal’.
The good news is, there are options for women with thinning hair to regain the appearance of a full healthy head of hair instantly. There’s no need to suffer while your hair problem is being sorted – here are a couple of solutions …
Fibre Sprays for Thinning Hair
These are cosmetic hair loss concealers that restore the volume of your hair and help fill in the gaps on your scalp. Choose the colour that best matches your own hair, shake it on to your scalp, blend in with your fingertips and watch as you receive an instant volume boost. It’s a temporary fix, washing out when you next wash your hair.
Consider a reputable brand such as “Boost N Blend”, a cotton fibre spray designed specifically for females. The fine cotton microfibres feel just like hair and really cling to your own hair making each shaft up to ten times thicker.
Hair Toppers for Thinning Hair
Hair toppers, also known as partial wigs, are a great solution for women with thin hair, or suffering from hair loss on the crown and top of their head. They differ from wigs in that wigs are designed to cover your whole head, whereas toppers have a smaller base of hair that clips onto an area of your head.
Toppers are lightweight, easy to use and come in different styles and sizes, lengths, and thicknesses. They can be made from synthetic fibre or real human hair (which is considerably more expensive) but either way, it’s important to match the colour to your own hair as closely as possible for the most natural look.
Your hair topper will still need washing and maintenance with specialised products, but it’s worth it to have you feeling confident and ready to take on the world.
Hair Extensions
Extensions have become hugely popular among young women wanting to boost the volume or even the length of their hair. Many start with clip-in extensions for special occasions, however it is also possible to have the extensions done by a professional which last for several weeks. As the hair grows, the extensions descend from the scalp and need to be removed and moved up closer to the head.
Depending on how the hair is worn, these extensions are mostly undetectable to others.
We are so blessed in this modern day and age that anybody can enjoy the swish of shiny, healthy looking tresses. Don’t suffer needlessly – there IS a gorgeous solution if your hair is thinning!
