As a woman, the last thing that you want for yourself is thinning hair. Although it’s more common – and much more socially ‘normal’ for men to have thinning hair or even a bald head, women with thinning hair tend to do anything possible to conceal it. If you’ve noticed that your hair isn’t as thick as it once was or have even noticed some balding patches on the top of your head, it’s pretty likely that you’re wanting to do whatever possible in order to thicken your hair, stimulate growth and look your best again. We’ve put together a list of the best solutions for thinning hair.
Hair Regrowth
If you are not only suffering from thinning hair but also experiencing patches of baldness, you are probably searching high and low for some sort of miracle hair regrowth product. Thankfully, these products do exist, but it is important that you only buy a quality product. When choosing a hair regrowth product, you will be able to choose from shampoos, hair masks, and more. Often, a hair growth shampoo is the best option because it is easy to use every day when you are taking a shower, and is less messy when washing off. You won’t see results straight away; continuous use is essential.
Check Your Shampoo
Did you know that some shampoos, mainly low quality brands and dry shampoo, when used long term, can actually do more damage to your hair than good? If you have recently changed the shampoo that you are using and have started to notice issues with the thickness of your hair, you should stop using it and see whether or not it makes a difference. Sometimes, something as simple as investing more in a better quality shampoo can help your hair to thicken up and grow back.
Stop Using Hair Dye
If you dye your hair regularly, this could be one of the reasons as to why you are noticing that it is thinning, and could even contribute to your hair starting to fall out. Long term use of hair dye, especially drugstore box dyes, can cause significant damage to your hair. Speak to your hair stylist about taking a break from coloring your hair and allowing it to take a break to repair itself.
See Your Doctor
If you have tried all of the above and are still noticing thinness and bald patches in your hair after a few weeks or months, it may be time to speak to your doctor. Hair loss and thinness can be caused by a number of underlying conditions, or you could be suffering from female pattern baldness or in the worst case, alopecia. A visit to your doctors for a checkup will be able to give you a better idea of what could be causing your problem, and you may be able to get a prescribed treatment.
Noticing that your hair is getting thin or even falling out isn’t the best experience, but usually you can fix it by making some simple changes to your haircare routine.
