These can be made from artificial or real hair.

They are kept in place by adhesives. Some look quite natural.

Hair Weaving

Human hair or synthetic fibers can be woven or braided into existing thinning hair.

Only those with plenty of healthy hair should consider this method as it can stress existing hair, causing it to fall out.

The extensions may need to be repositioned every three to four weeks as the hair grows out.

Hair Styles

Consulting with your hairdresser may result in a hair style that minimizes the visual effect.

For example, letting the hair at the temples grow longer while trimming the forward part short can help offset the effect of a receding hairline.

Hair loss and baldness become less noticeable when dark hair is lightened, thus reducing the contrast between the remaining hair and the scalp.

Avoid using gels as these cause hair to stick together thus emphasizing empty areas of the scalp.
