hair loss can be an upsetting experience. But it doesn’t need to be, especially if you know how to cover up thinner strands with weaves. Avoid tight styles like cornrows and ponytails that place too much tension on your hair; doing so causes damage that could ultimately result in hair loss.
Deep Side-Part
If your hair falls between middle-length and shoulder-length, don’t be intimidated to add volume with a deep side-part. This style can enhance an oval face shape while counterbalancing an aggressive square jaw and works equally well whether straight hair or natural curls are present. For maximum effect use a volumising mousse like Schwarzkopf Styliste ULTIME Amino-Q Foam Mousse as an aid to achieve this look.
This style is great for those with protective styles such as braids or box braids and creates an eye-catching asymmetrical look. For an extra feminine touch, allow one side’s longer piece to fall over one eye for a flirty effect. For a unique yet simple style, a deep side part is an effortless yet chic option. Add an element of shine by slicing back your locks with Suavecito Original Hold or Layrite Original pomade.
Loose Braids
The ideal braid style to combat hair loss is loose and low to the scalp. Straight looks are most ideal, though you could also try setting wavy locks using firm hold hairspray like TRESemme TRES Two Freeze Hold Hairspray.
Tight braids such as cornrows can lead to traction alopecia, an irreversible form of baldness caused by constant pulling on hair follicles. It most frequently affects African-American women wearing braids or twists but could affect anyone wearing such styles for extended periods.
To prevent traction alopecia, be sure to switch up your style every few months. Also take steps such as giving your scalp and hair some relief by periodically unbraiding from braids; use looser styles if possible or use something like VoiceOfHair PureFix hair Elixir as it helps alleviate tension on both.
Low Ponytail
Low ponytails offer the ideal blend of relaxed elegance. Unlike high ponytails which put stress on your follicles, this low style sits nicely at the nape of your neck while appearing pulled-together without pulling at your locks.
No matter your style preference – whether a loose braid down the back of your head or two low pigtail braids – this hairstyle can adapt to suit any special event or celebration. Additionally, use ribbon, string or lacing to hide elastic at the base of your ponytail for even greater creativity!
At various New York Fashion Week shows, this look has made an appearance: from Patricia Bonaldi’s edgy mix of hot-glued saran wraps at Patricia Bonaldi to Ulla Johnson and PatBO’s pleasingly symmetrical twist-wraps and twist-wraps at Ulla Johnson and PatBO. Wearing bangs just past your eyebrow line to frame the face can help cover thinning hairlines or you could add fringe for an even more natural appearance.
Top Knot
Though popular among men, tight man buns and top knots can damage your hair over time. When pulled too tightly for extended periods of time, it can lead to traction alopecia resulting in patches of baldness around the scalp.
To avoid traction alopecia, choose either a looser top knot or low fade with low fade instead. Pair a stylish top knot with an unruly beard for a debonair look; perfect for guys with medium-length to long hair! Make sure that you shampoo twice weekly while also using dry shampoo between services in order to keep your locks healthy and avoid it drying out prematurely.
