Women face an emotional trauma as we lose our hair because after all, hair loss is only supposed to affect men, isn’t it?

Appearance is important. We are judged by how we look, and that starts with our hair. It seems to those us afflicted, that men and women alike notice and pass silent judgment on us. What options do we have to help our confidence when our hair is thinning? Here are some practical and inexpensive remedies you can try to quickly look and feel better now:

• Consider a “perm” as wavy hair gives better scalp coverage and the illusion of thick hair. For best results use a mild perm solution applied to hair that is already in good condition.
• Use color – many of us enjoy coloring our hair just to cover the gray or to enjoy a new look but you can disguise thinning areas by minimizing scalp contrast and choosing a hair color closer to your skin color but go no more than two shades away from your natural color. Also consider high lights to give the appearance of greater volume. Use a gentle color on your hair; avoid peroxide and ammonia ingredients.
• Wigs are in. When your hair loss progresses beyond the point of a cosmetic cover up, it may be time for the next step. Consider a wig from a reputable supplier of hair systems; this is not the time to skimp on quality looking for the best price. Instead, look for a firm specializing in selling high quality hair systems for women. There are many considerations in wig selection and after-sales service is very important. While you are at it, try several new styles and colors and have some fun!
• Try a cosmetic enhancer after all you use cosmetics for everything else don’t you? There are a variety of products that will help camouflage your condition. You can choose a from an assortment of coloring cosmetics from packed powders applied with applicator to the scalp, to loose powders sprinkled into the hair, to weather resistant hair thickening sprays. All of these options are available without prescriptions and are relatively inexpensive.

When you really think about it, your thinning hair didn’t happen overnight did it? It will take time to investigate the causes and cures or learn to live with thinning hair. No matter what the cause, only time will ultimately decide the outcome so take heart that your hair will eventually grow back. During that waiting time try one or more of the solutions outlined above to help you look your best and feel great!
