Woman worried about thinning hair looking at her hairline in the mirrorVolumizing Solutions for Thinning Hair in Women

Q: I am beginning to have a problem with thinning hair, and I want to find a hairstyle that’s more flattering. I also want to find some hair care products that can give some volume. Can you give me some recommendations? – Janis – Dunwoody

A: Most women who have this problem are thinning through the crown. One of the best haircuts for this is to have your stylist add layers through that area, which gives you more depth and volume. To give you even more thickness and volume, I recommend using a natural product called Phytocayne and Zenagen products.

More FAQs About Thinning Hair

Can a hairdresser help with thinning hair?

Yes, a hairdresser can definitely help with thinning hair. Here are several ways they can assist:

1. Haircuts and Styles

  • Layering: A stylist can add layers to your hair, which can create the illusion of volume and thickness.
  • Shorter Cuts: Shorter haircuts can make thinning hair appear fuller and more voluminous.
  • Texturizing: Texturizing techniques can help lift the hair, adding body and movement.

2. Product Recommendations

  • Volumizing Products: Hairdressers can recommend shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that add volume and thickness to your hair.
  • Thickening Sprays and Mousses: These products can give the appearance of fuller hair when applied correctly.

3. Scalp Treatments

  • Scalp Massages: Professional scalp massages can stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles, which may promote hair growth.
  • Exfoliating Treatments: Exfoliating the scalp can remove buildup and promote a healthier environment for hair growth.

4. Hair Extensions and Toppers

  • Extensions: Stylists can apply extensions to add volume and length to thinning hair.
  • Toppers: Hair toppers can be matched to your natural hair color and texture to seamlessly blend and add fullness.

5. Color Techniques

  • Highlights and Lowlights: These can add dimension and depth to the hair, making it appear thicker.
  • Root Touch-Ups: Keeping roots touched up can prevent the appearance of thinning hair at the scalp.

6. Personalized Advice

  • Hair Care Routines: Hairdressers can provide advice on the best hair care routines tailored to thinning hair, including how often to wash and condition.
  • Nutritional Advice: While not a replacement for medical advice, some stylists can offer tips on nutrition and supplements that support hair health.

7. Referrals

  • Trichologists and Dermatologists: If your hairdresser identifies a significant issue, they may refer you to a trichologist or dermatologist for specialized treatment.

8. Non-Medical Treatments

  • Laser Therapy: Some salons offer low-level laser therapy to stimulate hair growth.
  • Hair Fibers: These are fine fibers that adhere to existing hair, creating the appearance of thicker hair instantly.

A skilled hairdresser can be a valuable resource in managing thinning hair through strategic cuts, treatments, and product recommendations. Regular visits to your stylist can help you maintain a flattering look while addressing the challenges of thinning hair. If you’re experiencing significant hair loss, they may also guide you to seek medical advice for underlying health issues.
