HOW TO PROPERLY MANAGE A RECEDING HAIRLINE

June 4, 2020

If you value your looks more than anything, the last thing you will ever want to deal with is a case of receding hairline. While this is a natural phenomenon, it is something most people wish they never had to deal with. Fortunately, if it does start to happen, it does not necessarily mean the end of the world. In this article, we will share with you four tips on how you can address a case of receding hairline:

Use quality products

Some hair products you use might contain chemicals that are harsh on your hair. For example, hair dyes contain chemicals that can weaken it. While this is not a problem for some people, prolonged use of such products can seriously damage your appearance and can add to the effects of hair loss.

For this reason, we suggest you avoid using harsh products. Instead, check out our range in store and opt for the best quality on the market, preferably those that contain only natural ingredients.


Change your habits

There are many habits that you might be used to that you do not realise are damaging your hair and causing it to recede. For example, using a hard comb can tangle with your hair and snap it right off, or washing your hair too much will scrub all its essential oils away.

For those reasons, try to change such habits. Rather than using a hard comb, use a soft brush instead. Rather than using shampoo too often, do it once every two or three days. Finally, even vigorously drying your hair with a towel can be damaging, so do it more gently.


Use the right hairstyle

Sometimes, a little trickery is needed to address your situation. For example, a great way to mask your thinned hair is to keep it on the sides of your head short. This is because the hair on top is usually where thinning is most apparent.

By keeping the sides short and the top long, you create an illusion where everything looks a little bit more balanced and the bald spots are less evident.


Building volume with powder

Another technique that can help to conceal the effects of hair loss is to build volume in thinning areas by applying a hair building fibre. Sometimes referred to as hair loss concealers, these powders can provide the extra volume needed to build up a confident style and fill over thinning areas.


Conclusion

Remember, a case of receding hairline is not the end of the world. With proper care, you will be able to keep it healthy and limit the thinning of your hair.
