How to Style a Thinning Hair Part

Thinner hair can be an inevitable part of aging. But what happens if your part line begins to see an increase in thinning? Most people shed between 50 to 100 hairs daily as old strands shed and new ones emerge; however, if yours seems to be falling out faster than normal, it could be an indication of thinning hair.

Deep Side Part

Now, choppy bangs are trending; but for something different, try styling your locks with a deep side part instead. Perfect if you’re growing out your fringe or realigning an existing bob haircut, this style is easy to implement and gives off dramatic effects – pair it with sleek tee and figure-hugging jeans, and you’ll feel like an off-duty model!

Side parts can work wonders for most face shapes. Used properly, they can add volume or elongate your frame while concealing strong square jawlines and camouflaging long chins. For bolder looks, use Schwarzkopf Styliste ULTIME Amino-Q Foam Mousse as a volumizing mousse to give that signature look.

Deep side parts are an accommodating hairstyle for all kinds of strands, from fine to thick strands. If your cowlick won’t stay put, spray some salt spray through your locks for texture before holding your style with strong hairspray. They’re also ideal for those with bob haircuts with layers. A deep side part adds instant sophistication that celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Megan Fox often sport on red carpet events.

The ’90s Zigzag Part

Some pop culture iconography from past decades seems alien in 2017; think lava lamps, Walkmans, Crystal Pepsi. However, some throwback trends can come back into fashion. Zigzag parts were popular during the ’90s and have made a comeback as an alternative to deep side and middle parts. This style makes a statement by creating an instant crisscross pattern in the hair, adding instant style.

Polko says anyone can master this look with some practice. First, ensure your locks are free of tangles and damp. Next, section off sections using a rat tail comb before pinning the remaining hair back with parting clips. With either the tip or handle of your comb (depending on your style preference), begin tracing zig-zag paths against your scalp using its tip or handle, making sure that both ends of each are evenly spaced apart.

For an authentic ’90s look, add an extra bit of polish with hair spray or gel. This can help tame unruly cowlicks while giving your look an overall polished appearance. To complete the look further, tie your hair into a low bun secured by claw clips for an eye-catching finish!

The Updo

An updo can be an elegant and sophisticated style to wear for women with thin hair, offering both feminine flair and confident elegance.

Use your curling wand to quickly and effortlessly create loose waves, then pull them together at the back of your head into a donut bun with bobby pins for security. For added volume and grip, a dry texture product should help with gripping. Tease your updo before teasing out for added volume at the top, and adding a face-framing piece of hair will complete this look.

If you want a sleek and polished updo that is suitable for work or a formal event, try a twisted crown updo. It’s an effective way to show off highlights, lowlights, or dark roots while remaining refined and put-together. Use Luxy hair extension 2-clip and 3-clip wefts in combination with your wand and bobby pins to achieve this voluminous updo, also great for showing off lace front wigs!
