How do you care for and style thin hair? Discover 5 practical tips here to optimally care for and style your hair.





Causes of thinning hair in men

As a man, you may have always had thin hair, which is often genetically determined. You may also be experiencing the initial phase of hair loss due to thinning hair at the crown or inlets, because your hair is thinning at the front.

Hair has its own life cycle, which can affect the thickness and quantity of your hair. On average, a hair is 0.06 cm thick, but thin hair is below that. Sudden thinning hair can also be a signal of your general health.

Testosterone is often seen as a cause of hair loss. Low testosterone levels may play a role in mild hair loss, which you can have checked by your doctor.

What can you do about thinning hair?

It can affect your self-confidence as a man, as hair is often an important part of our self-image. We would like to share 5 tips to combat thinning hair and inlets.

Tip 1: Hairstyles for men with thin hair

For incipient hair loss, you can opt for hairstyles that hide the hair loss somewhat. Keep your hairstyle short so as not to emphasize the thinness of your hair. An ideal haircut for men with thin hair is short at the sides and back, while leaving a little more length on top for volume. A shaved parting can help hide indentations.

You can also opt for short hair with a full beard. This distracts from your hairstyle, as men with beards are perceived as confident.

Tip 2: Cover thinning areas with hair fibers

Use hair fibers to camouflage thinning areas and make your hair appear fuller. These microfibers adhere to your own hair, immediately giving you fuller-looking hair.
