Fine or thinning hair can cause a lot of distress when one is looking for a new hairstyle or simply visiting the barbers or hairstylists.
A clean, short trim will be the best option for most men with thinning hair. Lots of men attempt to 'hide' their thinning by growin hair shoulder length or more, this just highlights the problem and brings unwanted attention.
When hair is dyed to a colour closer to the scalp it lessens the contrast between thinning and scalp. Dying thinning hair darker ( if you are fair skinned for example) also highlights the hair and brings unwanted attention to your fine or thinning hair.
There are lots and lots of thickening conditioners for thinning and fine hair that add volume.
Having hair cut or styled to shoulder length is an option for women that is often the most suitable as it emphasizes your features rather than your hair. Again, hair that is too long will seem as if it has even less body ( if it is already thin).
In 2008 a bob style with hair pinned behind the ears has been one of the most fashionable looks. The right style and cut can add an incredible amount of body to thinning and fine hair.
