Hair loss can be a major problem for millions of women and men, old and young. There are many causes of hair loss. The most common include overuse of styling products, stress, medications and genetics. Loss of hair can make you stressed, especially if you care about how you look. Luckily, there are many methods you can try to cover up hair loss so it becomes less noticeable.
Step 1
Go to a hair salon and have a professional hairstylist assess the hair loss and give you a new hairstyle. Cutting your bangs and the top of your hair, for example, will allow you to blend the thinning hair with the rest of your hair.
Step 2
Apply a high-quality hair concealer to cover up your hair loss. These products can help thicken thinning hair and cover bald spots effectively. They are applied directly to your scalp with a spray can or a comb. They are also resistant to strong winds and you can go swimming with the product in your hair. You can purchase hair concealers at a beauty supply store, hair salon or large chain drug stores.
Step 3
Purchase and apply a shampoo and conditioner that can thicken thinning hair. Search for products that add volume and strengthen your hair from roots to tips.
Step 4
Order a high-quality hairpiece to cover up your hair loss. Hair pieces include weaves, hair extensions, toupees and wigs. These hair pieces are carefully tailored to fit your scalp and--if worn correctly--appear natural and can resist strong winds. You can purchase hairpieces directly from a specialty hair salon or barber shop in your city.
Step 5
Wear items such as baseball caps, hats or scarves to instantly cover up your hair loss.
