Noticing that your hair is starting to thin is always going to be quite distressing, especially as we are constantly bombarded with images of celebrities and models with long, flowing, thick hair on a daily basis.
It can often make us feel unattractive and self conscious, even though thinning hair is one of the most common symptoms of a variety of common conditions such as stress, or even be a hereditary problem.
So how can we deal with noticing our hair falling out or thinning? We’ve already covered the facts about hair loss in our infographic, so this time, we’re going to look at how we can move past the fear or baldness and look at some of the ways in which we can live with thinner hair and still feel confident!
Improve Your Diet
Your diet has a lot to do with how strong and healthy your hair is, so it’s important to start watching what you eat, especially if you have only just started to notice your hair thinning.
If you are starting to notice your hair thinning, try increasing your intake of these minerals by eating foods which are known to be rich in them on a regular basis – you should start noticing a difference in your hair’s condition in no time.
Use Known Hair Styling Tricks
Believe it or not, you can style your hair to make it look ten times thicker than it actually is – and you don’t have to visit a hair dresser every single time, either!
Blow drying your hair upside down is a great way to add volume with very little effort, just make sure that you’re protecting your hair from the heat of the hair dryer by using a good quality heat protection spray.
There are also hair products that are available which are specifically designed to make thinner hair look fuller and thicker. From shampoos and conditioners to root boosting powders and sprays, there are so many products to choose from, it’s never been easier to volumise and “thicken” your thin hair!
Invest in a Wig or Hair Piece
Many people believe that resorting to wearing a wig or hairpiece is resigning yourself to a future of thinning hair. However, we think that investing in these attractive, useful products are a great way to boost your confidence.
Rather than damaging your own fragile hair, you can style your wig to your heart’s content, and even have some wacky, vibrant colours if that’s more your thing! It also means that you can change your look drastically with very little effort; fancy having an elegant, long haired look one day but a shorter lighter look another? Just pop a different wig on!
Look Into Hair Replacement Surgery
Sometimes other solutions simply don’t work, or aren’t feasible for you to try. Rather than feel as though you are stuck with thin, uninspiring hair forever, there are surgical options that are available to you which can help you restore your hair.
Our staff will be able to talk you through each of the procedures and help you decide which treatment is the best for you and help you prepare for the life changing treatment that you will undergo.
Here at DHI Manchester, we have a variety of different treatments to choose from, each tackling various different hair loss issues. If you don’t know which treatment will work for you, it’s important to talk to one of our specialists who will be able to advise which treatment option is the most adequate for your hair loss type. Don’t ever think that there is nothing you can do – we will try our best to help you to the best of our ability!
Lastly, It’s Not Your Fault
It is important to remember that your hair loss or thinning is not your fault. It can be easy to assume that you have done something to cause your hair to react in this way, but more often than not, there are underlying issues which will have caused it rather than it be something that you have done.
