1. How do you hide a receding hairline when you're a woman?
Receding hairlines occur for a variety of reasons, ranging from aging and genetics to stress and hormones. While a receding hairline itself is not dangerous, it can cause problems when it comes to choosing hairstyles. Good news; there are many looks that are effective at disguising a receding hairline, giving the illusion of fullness. Here’s a look at some of the best hairstyles for women with receding hairlines.
2. Blunt Bangs
Not only are blunt bangs a popular trend, they are excellent to hide the hairline and cover the forehead. With this hairstyle, the bangs are cut straight across just above the eyes. Side-swept bangs are an alternative style for those who prefer to keep their bangs slightly longer.
3. Layers
Adding multiple layers to your hair can make your thinning tresses appear thicker. Layered hairstyles are available in short, medium, or long-length hair, giving you a wide range of options to choose from. Start the layers at nose or chin-length and allow them to descend from there.
4. Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts are ideal for women with thin or fine hair, as well as ladies with receding hairlines. Opt for a layered pixie cut to add texture, and add subtle highlights to give the illusion of volume and enhance the overall look.
5. Curls
Adding volume is a great way to hide minor imperfections like a receding hairline. Whether soft waves or tight ringlets, curls can give the hair texture and eliminate thinning spots. Hot rollers or Velcro rollers work well to add volume, but avoid hair products that can weigh hair down.
Asymmetrical Cuts
Opt for asymmetrical cuts instead of symmetrical cuts when choosing a hairstyle. Asymmetrical cuts draw the eyes to the longer strands of hair, rather than the areas of thinning or non-existent hair. Asymmetrical chin-length bob cuts work well.
If you’re dealing with a receding hairline, consider making a change with your hairstyle. There are many modern styles that are both trendy and will help to hide a receding hairline in women.
