• A low protein diet;
• Family history (heredity);
• Childbirth (for women);
• Pollution;
• Stress or shock;

What can I do about thinning hair in front

Wondering “How can I hide thinning hair?” While it can be tricky to conceal your scalp, there are some solutions you can try. Some of them are meant to disguise the problem in a matter of minutes. Such is the case of toppers, make-up, haircuts, hairstyles for thinning hair. Others are meant to become your lifestyle adjustments. Such is the case of using natural shampoos and adopting a healthy diet. But there are so many ways to care for thinning hair. And so many ways in which you can harm your hair without even knowing it:

• Adjust your diet and include protein, since your hair is made of keratin, a protein. A balanced diet, rich in vitamins good for the hair (A, E, C) is also helpful. Not to mention minerals such as Zinc and Iron. Foods such as egg yolk, almonds, nuts, bananas, whole grains, fish, beans, lean meats are super helpful when it comes to thinning hair.
  
  
• Scalp massages are amazing for boosting hair circulation towards the follicles. Frequent scalp massages may play a significant role in preventing thinning hair.
  
  
• Using natural shampoos and hair thinning products is essential. Some enhance your hair’s volume. Others replenish it with nourishment. Look for hair care products containing biotin, natural oils (jojoba, coconut, avocado, olive oil), and botanical extracts (saw palmetto, nettle). Go for a rich, nourishing, and protecting hair care routine. Including castor oil in your routine can help revitalize your thinning hair. It helps circulation to the scalp and makes the shaft stronger.
  

• Including Rosemary essential oil in your washing routine can help thicken your hair. It makes the shaft strong and helps keep a balanced scalp.
  
  
• Going for shorter haircuts will also help disguise thinning hair. Longer hair is heavier and can appear thinner and limper. Layered cuts, bobs, lobs, bangles, soft waves, and textured fringes in the front will create the impression of volume. A shorter back and a longer front can create a fuller appearance.
  
  
• An unflattering hairstyle can make your hair look even thinner. For instance, side parting can show your bald spots even more. A middle parting with a zigzag effect can drape the hair evenly on both sides, concealing any bald spots.
  
  
• Choose hairpieces and hair accessories to disguise the patches of thinning hair. Silk scarves, hats, cozy headbands, or turbans are stylish and useful.
  
  
  
  
  
• A doctor can rule out a thyroid problem, an inflammatory condition affecting your hair follicles, or a hormonal imbalance that can cause hair thinning. So don’t skip on that!

• Don’t keep your hair too long. Long, thin hair looks stringy and limp. And it creates tension on the tresses and follicles, potentially causing damage and breakage to the already thinning hair shaft.
  
  
• Letting go of harsh accessories is a must. Tight headbands and hats used to hide thinning hair must go!
  
  
• Adopt a less-styling method of hair care. Over-styled tresses are usually more damaged. Let go of flat irons and aggressive brushing or combing.
  
  
  
  
  
• Say goodbye to products containing sulfates or parabens and choose a gentle approach to your hair care routine.
  
  
• Don’t pull your hair too tight in hairstyles such as ponytails. Hair follicles and thin hair can’t handle that tension.
  
  
• Always wash your hair with lukewarm water. Like this, you prevent damage to the hair shaft, due to cuticle aggression. And you prevent losing the natural oils that protect your scalp.

How to hide thinning hair in the front: instant hacks

While you can apply the above recommendations and start your journey to thickening your hair, the issue won’t go away too soon. Especially since women become more self-conscious about hair thinning and hair loss, some magical solutions would be great! Well, if you want to hide your scalp and bald spots here are some tricks that might help:

• Using hair toppers and hair extensions is an instant way to cover thin hair. Hair toppers are created specifically to mask bald areas such as the top, the parts, or the crown of your hair. Clip-in hair extensions can be added to specific areas and they are not as heavy as other types.
  
  
• Applying hair fibers on the thinning hairline in the front can fill in the empty areas. It will also create an instant fuller appearance.
  
  
  
  
• Applying a make-up powder or an eyeshadow on your scalp will fill in the bald spots. Choose one that matches your hair color!
  
  
• A volumizing root booster can create the impression of thicker hair as well. Volumizing creams, mousses, and sprays create an instant fullness, making your hair look natural. Still, choose natural-based products, since you will be using them so close to your roots and follicles.
  
  
• A quick blow dry can pump up the volume of your hair. Especially if you’re using a round brush and a diffuser. Still, don’t use this hack too often since blow drying can cause more damage overall.
• While natural hair is healthier, if you dye your tresses, don’t forget about your roots. Root concealers can create the illusion of bigger hair.
