What are the best hairstyles for very thin hair?

“I have very thin hair. No, I have VERY VERY thin hair, so the majority of hairstyles seen on the Internet don’t fit me. What to do? Can you suggest really working haircuts and hairstyles for super thin hair? Or it is hopeless?”

Quite often, some women have to put up with fine and thin hair that can be caused by both heredity and acquired problems. Although these two characteristics may seem quite similar, there is a difference between fine and thin hair, which is important to understand when choosing the right hairstyle or cut.

Fine hair means that each individual strand is small in diameter; it’s too soft, has a lack of volume and quickly loses its shape.

Thin hair (or sparse hair) means that there are fewer follicles on the head, and, if it’s not fixed properly, the scalp can be seen in some places.

The first wake-up call is that you can’t style your hair and you realize that there is no previous density: it seems that the hair has become finer. And in fact, it has become thinner.

Possible Causes of Very Thin Hair

Very thin hair may be caused by:

• aging;
• stressed-out nervous system;
• improper hair care routine;
• bad habits, such as smoking and alcohol;
• unhealthy diet;
• great weight loss;
• very thin hair after giving birth – postpartum changes in hormone levels;
• mechanical damage (e.g., head injuries);
• internal diseases that exhaust the body and deprive strands of vitality;
• very thin hair after chemo, certain medications, etc.

Does Thin Hair Mean Balding?

If hair started falling out, it doesn’t necessarily mean that baldness begins – after all, it’s known that there is a definite norm, an amount of hair that should fall out daily or seasonally. In any case, the best solution would be to visit a trichologist who can professionally assess the condition of the hairline and help solve this issue.

1. Short vs. Long. Is it better to have short or long thin hair? Cuts for thin hair are performed on both long and very short hair. So, if you like long hairstyles, it’s not always necessary to make a short cut – you can keep the length. Consult your hairstylist for more tips as each case is unique.
