Hair Style Advice For Thinning Hair

[Guest AmyB]

Please does anyone have any advice about hair? I'm blonde and so my hair is fine already, but it's thinner that I'd like on top due to DHT's effects. There are not bald patches. it's going a little bit at the corners at the front and a little at the crown, but mainly it's just more sparse all over the top of my head compared with the sides (fewer hairs per square inch, and the hairs are finer) . It really upsets me and makes me feel ugly. I'm hoping finasteride will help and I'll ask the doc about it next week, but do you have any other advice or help?

I also need a girl's hair style. My hair has lots of loose curls and is short for a girl (each hair about 5 inches long) but I'm growing it. Sadly I had longer hair before but my parents convinced me to have it cut. My hair would be lovely if it wasn't for the thinness, but it's that thinness restricts the hairstyles I could have, I think, and it doesn't look any better (in terms of thickness) as it gets longer. It really gets me down. Does anyone have any advice?

I have a high hairline and a dramatic widows peak. I do a comb over from the temple area over to one side and then go a little further on the other side and part it to the other side. It makes like an X on the top of my head. It is about the best I can do since my hair in the center of my forehead is too fine and only about an inch and a half strip. I can't part it to both sides and the widows peak goes so far back, I cant pull the hair on top of my head forward.

Anyway, this works for me halfway decent and doesn't scream comb over. Your problem is different but try parting it some different ways and use bobby pins to keep it on place.

You might also check out a wig-shop. If you go to big city to areas with a large African-American demographic, you can find discount wig-shops. You can also find some online.

The third thing I do is wear a do-rag. Which method I use depends on my outfit.

Hi There,

I am Angie and I once had very thin hair.Yessa Ma'am finasteride will do the trick quite nicely,

as you see it get thicker and thicker.(whew and thank you right?)I would try different hair styling

products to lift the hair and make it look fuller. Meaning,hair spray with firm hold,or a sculpting

mousse will do the trick very nicely.Do Not part in the middle.Instead,cut yourself some bangs,

and go with a more poofy do.You comb it all forward with a blow drier to add fullness,then flip

your hair backward.You will see how much height it adds,now it is just playing with it until you

find a style that says,this is you.A note:Once a style is in place,You Own It and do not touch your

hair with hand, brush,or comb,that way it stays like you styled it.Hope this helps some.

Big Hugs,

Angie

Hey, Angie....

What can you tell us about finasteride?

What I mean is...When did you start it?

What is it prescribed for? And is the hair growing a side effect or it's main purpose?

How long did/do you take it?

I really would like to know more about this....OK?

Thanks...and a warm HUGGG!

Finasteride,Propeccia,Proscar are all the same product under different names.

It is used by genetic males to fight male pattern baldness.But for women like us,

it is our DHT blocker,that allows a more complete feminizing effect during transition.

It has the added benefit of reigniting hair regrowth.And honestly,you take it for your

full transition.It is what has allowed the magic to do it's thing so completely,to take me

from that manly man,and help turn me into a feminine woman.The regrowth is slow and

steady,just like everything else in our journey of becoming our true selves.

Warm Hugs Back Attcha Sweety,

Angie

Thanks for the replies and advice. I'll try parting it different ways again and I'm glad that your finasteride experience is so positive, it gives me hope!

I'm not really sure - but when I saw this I was reminded of a cartoon character I saw from Avatar the Last Air Bender - Katara. I can't describe her hair style well so here's a pic - http://www.leukvoorkids.nl/img/wallpapers/avatar-katara.jpg

The concept of taking the hair that's long in the back and attaching it to the bangs - perhaps on a larger scale than what she has in the pic perhaps could be used for transwomen with thinning hair lines in the corners? I dunno, just a thought.
