The best hairstyles for men with thin hair
If your hair is fine or thinning, here are some of the best hairstyles that can make you look great, while at the same time mask problem areas on your scalp.
1. High fade
This strong style is a go-to especially if you are experiencing temple hair loss. Blend the hair into an M-shaped hairline for a dynamic look. Simply shave the back and sides of your head and fade into your hairline. It works best if you don’t have an advanced receding hairline.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“The high fade is a modern way to disguise any light thinning around your temples, whether it’s due to true recession or simple maturing of the hairline. More advanced hair loss around the frontal hairline might not be concealed with this style, but it’s a fantastic entry-level haircut for men with thinning hair.”
2. Buzzcut
The buzzcut is an evergreen, low-maintenance style that makes it easy to disguise your hair loss. It’s really easy to create with clippers at home — just use the same guard all over your head, leaving a little length. This short style can mask a balding spot on the crown which makes it one of the best hairstyles for balding men.
3. Side-swept part
This neat side-swept part takes advantage of your thicker mid-scalp hair to mask areas with less density. It can also cover up hair thinning on one side of the head. It is a versatile look, which can work well with a variety of face types and personalities.
4. Faux hawk
The faux hawk is a rebellious style which works even with light thinning along the hairline. Use hair gel to lift the hair on your crown into a peak. Shaving the sides of your hair short may help blend in any recession at the temples.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“The advantage of this contemporary style is that it hides mild thinning across the scalp, from the temples to the vertex. Many men also choose to grow a beard or stubble to complement the attitude of this look.”
5. High and tight with a beard
To achieve this simple look, keep the hair on the top of your head longer while shaving the back and sides close. Blend with long stubble to divert attention away from a thinning hairline. Keep your hair slightly longer on top to mask mild to moderate hair loss on your crown.
6. Short and messy
Short hair tends to benefit men with light thinning. Wearing it messy adds texture and lift that can mask thinning through the mid-scalp and temples. Use a light-hold gel, wax, or clay to achieve this look.
7. Mid-length textured hair
If your hair is naturally wavy, you can wear certain longer hairstyles for men with thin hair. Your curls will add volume and texture, especially if you tousle it with light hair styling products. For an on-trend twist, grow out your ends slightly into a modern mullet.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Texture is essential for concealing hair loss across your scalp. Whether you have a receding hairline or mid-scalp thinning, growing your hair out will allow textured waves to cover up any problem patches.
However, men with more advanced balding may wish to steer clear of long styles unless they have sufficient density to achieve a full-looking head of hair.”
8. Flat top buzzcut
A very masculine hairstyle, the flat top buzzcut exudes rigour and confidence. The high fade makes it ideal if you are experiencing temple hair loss, while the bulky top conceals mild to moderate thinning.
A flat top buzz may be less effective if you have advanced hair shedding on top of your head.
9. Slicked back
A timeless classic, the slicked-back look can cover small to medium-sized bald spots, especially if styled with extra hold products and hair thickening spray. While slicking back your hair can look great with a widow’s peak, this style may not be suitable if you have more extensive thinning along your hairline.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Most men don’t develop crown hair loss until after a receding hairline has begun. Slicked-back styles will expose and highlight hairline recession. So consider the pros and cons of slicking back your hair before selecting this cut.”
10. Messy layered fringe
If you have enough density, a messy, layered fringe can add volume to thin hair. This will help cover up problematic types of hairline. While the layering provides texture, the tousled look gives you a fresh, playful appearance.
11. Short and spiky hairstyles for thinning hair
Spiky hair adds texture and creates the illusion of volume. However, your hair is thin, you want to keep the spikes short, so they won’t appear sparse. This hairdo is very easy to style — keep the top slightly longer than the rest and spike it up with some hair gel.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Short textured hairstyles like this can work even with thinning hair, even if it does expose a little more of your temples. Jude Law, Bradley Cooper, and many other famous faces choose short cuts like this. Just be mindful that you do need reasonable frontal density to maintain the proportions of your forehead and face.”
12. Textured forward brushed
Forward-brushed hair can be used to cover a temple thinning and light frontal balding. Grow your hair longer on top to ensure you have the thickness and density to brush it forward successfully. Use clay or wax to keep the hair in place over your temples and hairline.
13. Clean shaven
Want to avoid the hassle of styling your thin hair altogether? A clean shaved head may be the look for you. More and more men opt for this style since it has been popularised by action movie stars such as Vin Diesel and The Rock.
Don’t worry if you don’t have time to shave your head every day — a little shadow across the scalp won’t make your hair thinning too obvious. Just try to shave it down every 2-3 days to maintain the look.
14. Longer textured
Loosely curled hair (also known as type 2a hair) naturally adds texture and the illusion of volume to any hairstyle. Men with thinning wavy hair can take advantage of this — grow out your hair a little longer to disguise thinning with the extra texture.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Here, length replaces thickness as a marker of hair fullness. Use effective hair products to enhance and refine your waves for maximum impact. Leave-in conditioners are excellent for this purpose.”
15. Flat top
Flat tops work best if you have a thinning hairline but your crown hair is intact. Thicker hair here will draw attention away from a thinning hairline, and the fade will blend in any temple recession. Shave your hairline back a few millimetres if necessary to achieve a straighter hairline. Flat tops are ideal for people with curly or Afro hair.
16. Classic quiff
The stylish quiff is a versatile and effective hairstyle for men with thin hair. The frontal hair is the point of focus, concealing the crown behind it. It works best when there is sufficient frontal hair to look full when combed up.
Men with an uneven hairline can easily wear a quiff, since its shape and volume detracts from any asymmetry in your hairline.
17. The Statham stubble
Men with more extensive hair thinning can embrace their hair loss by copying Jason Statham’s trademark stubble. Shave your head, then let it grow out just enough to get some stubble.
This style won’t conceal the signs of advanced androgenetic alopecia, but if you can pull it off, your hair loss will no longer matter. Pair with stubbled facial hair for a rugged edge.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Confidence is the key to feeling and looking attractive. For many men, hair is essential to this. But if you can exude confidence with a simple stubble haircut, it’s one of the easiest ways to accept your thinning and style your hair.”
18. The bro flow
The bro flow involves combing back longer, wavy or curly hair without adding enough product to make it look slicked. This style can work even with a mature hairline. It can also help you mask any thinning on top of your head.
19. Surfer style
This variation of the surfer hairstyle for men with thin hair combines the advantages of forward-brushed hair with wispy bangs. It can mask your hairline while at the same time making your fringe look good, even if your hair is thinning. As a result, it’s definitely one of the best hairstyles for a thinning fringe.
Day-to-day, enhance your surfer hairstyle with a spritz of salt spray. This will add a beachy texture without weighing down your hair.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Add choppy layers to boost volume and frame your face. The thinner your hair is, the shorter your layers should be, as this is a simple and effective way to create volume.”
20. Faded and spiky
A combination of the short spiky and high fade styles, this look works well for men with early thinning.
The fade diverts attention from your temples, while the spikes make your crown appear fuller. Just be careful not to use too much product — the wet look is best left in the 90s, especially if your hair is thinning.
21. Layered crop cut for thin hair
While textured hair is easier to wear at mid-length even in spite of some thinning, you can make fine, straight hair look fuller by adding layers. They will stop your hair looking flat and make thinning spots less conspicuous.
22. Choppy fringe
Wearing a fringe may be risky if you have thin hair. But a choppy fringe can give you some forehead coverage without the need for substantial fullness.
An effective fringe will help you conceal an uneven hairline. A choppy texture will make your bangs work even if they are a little sparse.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“A good stylist can help you achieve the right balance between forehead coverage and fringe fullness. Make sure to discuss your needs and wishes beforehand so they know exactly what you want to achieve.”
23. Soft shaggy cut
Shaggy hair is one of the best options for masking frontal hair loss. Soft face-framing curls draws attention to your eyes and away from any thinning on your scalp.
For this style to work, however, you’ll need reasonable density around the fringe and through the mid-scalp. Use leave-in conditioner to maximise your curls or waves.
24. Classic crew cut
Similar to the buzz cut, the classic crew cut is a slightly longer military style. It tapers at the back and the sides while leaving slightly more length at the front.
The crew cut is very versatile and suits most face shapes. It’s an excellent hairstyle for thin hair, as the short sides balance out any thinning on top.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“The crew is a good haircut for thinning hair in its own right. But it can also work well as a transitional cut from longer to shorter hair, if you’re self-conscious about making a dramatic change.”
25. The Ivy League
A clean and classy hairdo, the Ivy League hairdo has a side part and longer, combed-up hair in the front. Since the hair on the top of your head is cut shorter than the frontal part, it can make thinning less conspicuous. It works best if you aren’t experiencing significant thinning on your hairline.
26. Short skin fade
The short skin fade is ideal for men in the early stages of androgenetic alopecia. The clean-shaven sides disguise temporal hair loss, while the short length makes thinning more difficult to notice (especially if there’s minimal contrast between your skin tone and hair colour).
Straight-shaving the hairline makes it look even and masks those early signs of hair loss.
27. Loose curls slicked back
Similar to the bro flow, the slicked back look is ideal for men with a wave to their thinning hair. While the curls provide texture, slicking the frontal hair back covers lower top hair density and adds the illusion of volume.
This messy, textured style can also work well if you’re losing hair on one side of the head. Use your fingertips to brush your hair over, creating the illusion of density on the thinning side.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Wavy styles like this look best when they appear carefree and effortless. That’s why stubble, mid-length beard, and even longer facial hair complement this style very well.”
28. Layered asymmetrical haircut for thinning hair
If your hair is straight, mid-length and thinning on one side, try a layered asymmetrical hairdo. Side-combing the frontal layers across will help you disguise one-sided hair loss. Tousle the rest for texture.
29. Textured side-swept fringe
A side-swept fringe can mask thin hair effectively.
To achieve this look, you need good hair density on the sides and top of your head. Leave the front and sides of your hair a bit longer to ensure good coverage of the forehead.
30. The Caesar cut
A classic hairstyle, the Caesar cut is characterised by a short, straight fringe with short back and sides. The light fringe means you don’t need dramatic density to make this work.
However, while the Caesar is one of the best hairstyles for a receding hairline, it may not work well with significant frontal baldness.
31. Messy frosted tips
Frosted tips aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but they create a strong, vibrant look that’s sure to detract from any thinning.
Frost the tips of a short, spiky style for a 90s vibe, or opt for highlights if your hair is slightly longer.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“It’s common for men with thinning hair to experiment with bleach and hair dye. And while this can be effective, be mindful of the risks of chemical products on your hair. They’re known to cause damage and breakage, which can make thin hair even thinner.”
32. Hard-edge Caesar
A hard-edge Caesar style can be just what you need to fix a messed up hairline. It’s neat, modern and looks good even if it starts higher up your brow.
Simply shave your hairline back to make it as straight as possible (provided you don’t have significant frontal balding). Keep your hair very short to conceal top thinning and fine-textured hair.
33. High undercut slicked back top
Similar to a pompadour, this dramatic hairstyle is perfect for men with good density through the mid-scalp and frontal hairline and light to moderate thinning at the vertex.
Cut the sides of your hair short but leave a lot of length on top. Then use hairspray or another light-hold fixing product to brush your hair back, covering your bald spot.
34. Asymmetrical hair
Want a more experimental hairstyle for thinning hair? This asymmetrical cut could be the one for you.
This adventurous hairstyle can cover up thinning across the head. You’ll need good growth, so let your hair grow long to begin with. (Wear a hat throughout this stage to disguise thinning if you feel self-conscious). Then go for this slick cut: an undercut on one side of your parting, with full lengths on the other.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Don’t underestimate the upkeep of a long hairstyle like this asymmetrical cut. You’ll need to maintain the buzzed side as well as looking after the longer hair with a good haircare routine for thin hair. So consider the maintenance required before opting for this haircut.”
35. Business cut
A business cut is a clean, neat hairstyle which exudes professionalism and confidence. The side part allows for better coverage. Keep your hair in place with light styling products, so it appears smooth and well-kept at all times.
This style works well with thinning and mature hairlines. It can be especially attractive if you are greying at the temples, making it one of the most flattering hairstyles for older men with thinning hair.
36. Short Afro
What our hair loss specialists think:
“Letting your natural hair grow even a little makes it less vulnerable to traction alopecia. This is a hair loss condition that’s common in Black men who wear their hair in tight protective styles.”
37. Short curls
The natural hair texture of those with curly hair types can help you mask thinning areas. Keep your hair short enough to retain volume and height, but long enough for your curls to be able to form properly.
Use styling products to arrange your hair in a way that provides your balding areas (including your temples and hairline) with better coverage.
38. Close shaved head
If the idea of a shaved head appeals to you but you have a rounder face, you may want to opt for a close rather than clean shave. This falls somewhere between a clean shaved style and a buzzcut.
Since it’s very short, a close shave can make thinning areas less conspicuous. It also works well with scalp micropigmentation or hair fibres if your balding is more advanced.
39. The Britpop look
Channel your inner Gallagher brother with this Britpop style. A messy, face-framing haircut, the piecey fringe will cover your hairline without drawing attention to any thinning.
This style works best if you still have fairly full density, but it can still look good even if you are experiencing some thinning on top.
40. Regulation haircut with a high fade
This fresh, modern interpretation of a traditional army hairstyle is ideal for men with straight, thinning hair. Part your hair at the side, then sweep the larger portion of hair across. Fade the sides (a drop fade or taper fade work best).
This hairstyle for men with thin hair is sure to make you look dynamic and confident.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“This hairstyle is very popular among younger men. In fact, it’s one of the most common styles we see post-hair transplant. But it can also help hide thinning in the early stages, particularly around your temples.”
41. Short tousled haircut for thin hair
Jude Law’s signature hairstyle involves pushing his hair forward and then giving it a tousled, messy look. It works best for men who are experiencing a thin or uneven hairline, but also for those who simply have fine-textured hair. The messy frontal hair gives the appearance of extra volume.
42. The Viking braid
This Nordic hairstyle works great to hide thinning hair if you want to keep your long locks (and don’t mind the Viking comparisons). Cleanly shave your head except for the top, then create a loose braid at the back of the head.
This style can mask sparse temples perfectly. It works best if you have no thinning on the top, but even if you have some, it can be covered by your braid.
43. Pushed forward crop
This textured crop masks both hair loss at the temples and an uneven or thin hairline. Comb your frontal hair forward, while keeping the sides shorter. Any kind of fade works well, though you don’t need to go that short.
You need some texture to pull off this look, so it can fall a little flat if you have straight hair. Salt spray and texturising clay can help add volume if needed.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“While this crop is a good option for those with mild hairline recession, it’s a less effective haircut for men with diffuse thinning. Using hair loss treatments like Minoxidil can help thicken your hair, so you can wear styles like this for longer.”
44. Tall layered cut
It’s still possible to achieve a soft, romantic hairstyle despite thinning hair. This effective hairstyle for men with thin hair frames the face with messy, wispy strands and a slightly side-swept fringe.
While the layers create the impression of volume, the messy bangs cover your hairline in a discreet, natural way. Shorter layers around the crown can help add fullness to the top of your hair if you have light thinning.
45. Bold colour combinations
Sometimes, you don’t need a whole new hairstyle — spicing up your current cut might do the trick. Bold adventurous types can add vivid colour to detract from any thinning.
Just be careful not to use harsh chemicals on your hair too frequently, as they can cause hair breakage.
46. Pointy peak
Has your hairline become M-shaped? Instead of covering it up, lean into it with a pointed peak hairstyle.
This adventurous cut involves taking advantage of your temple hair loss to create a dramatic pompadour.
This won’t mask your thinning temples, but it does make them look bolder and more brilliant. This style can also cover up crown thinning if your hair is long enough.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“If you have the confidence, styles like this are excellent for wearing with mild to moderate frontal thinning. You won’t be self-consciously pulling at hairs to cover your hairline. Instead, you embrace your thinning and make the most of the hair you do have.”
47. Curly fringe
If you have waves or curls, cutting all of it short but leaving the fringe longer will give you a soft, artsy look. It will also mask a receding or uneven hairline and some frontal hair thinning.
If you are also experiencing some hair loss on the crown, consider cutting this shorter to really emphasise your fringe.
48. Curled quiff with wispy fringe
If you wear your curls in a quiff, consider creating a wispy fringe by pulling a few tendrils down over your forehead. This will not only give you a soft, romantic, passionate appearance, but it can also conceal an uneven hairline or thinning on one side of the head.
49. The wolf cut
The wolf cut frames your face with messy layers, while allowing you to keep some length through the ends of your hair. It can be worn with curtain bangs, which work well to conceal thinning at the temples.
50. The beanie
While it is not a hairstyle in itself, wearing a beanie can be a lifesaver when you are having a bad hair day. It is trendy and youthful and will cover most of your hair thinning.
Alternatively, try a sports band, bandana, or baseball cap, depending on your style and situation.
What our hair loss specialist thinks:
“Hats are fantastic for covering up hair loss, but they have other benefits too. The most significant advantage is that it protects your hair and scalp from the sun, limiting UV damage that can make your hair more fragile.”
Hairstyles to avoid for men with thin hair
Want to know which hairstyles can make thinning hair appear worse? Here are the worst hairstyles for men with thin hair.
1. The comb over
If you are experiencing advanced male pattern baldness, you may be tempted to try to mask this by combing over some strands from the fuller sides of your head. However, a combover can seriously highlight your hair loss, so this is one to avoid.
Better styles to try instead:
- A clean-shaved head
- The Statham stubble
- A close shaved head.
2. Cornrows
This traditional African hairstyle relies on the natural thickness and density of Afro hair to work. If your hair is naturally thin or you are experiencing significant hair shedding, your cornrows are likely to end up very thin and far apart, drawing attention to your dwindling hair density.
Better styles to try instead:
- The flat top
- The short Afro
- The hard-edge caesar
3. Dreadlocks
Similarly to cornrows, dreadlocks look good if you have full, thick hair. But if you are experiencing hair thinning or have naturally fine hair, you are unlikely to get the result you are hoping for and your balding spots might become even more conspicuous between your locs.
Better styles to try instead:
- The short Afro
- The longer textured
- The bro flow
4. The Skullet
This edgy hairstyle will remove any frontal thinning altogether. But it’s not an everyday haircut for most people, so it’s likely to draw a lot of attention, especially in professional settings. If that’s not for you, consider an alternative adventurous style.
Better styles to try instead:
- Asymmetrical hair
- The Viking hairstyle
- The Statham stubble
5. Top knot
The top knot can be a great hairstyle if you are only experiencing mild hair thinning, such as an uneven hairline. But if your hair is fine-textured and/or you are facing hair loss, you will not only be drawing attention to your low hair density by tying it up.
Wearing tight knots or buns in your hair regularly will tug on your follicles, which can lead to hair loss over time. So consider the risks of this style before heading to the barber.
Better styles to try instead:
- Longer textured
- Slicked back
- Bro flow
6. Long with frontal balding
If you have advanced frontal balding, wearing a long hairstyle will only cause a contrast which will draw more attention to your hair loss. Longer hair works best for younger men with thick, straight hairlines — see Jack Grealish’s hair for inspiration.
While giving up long hair can be difficult, you may find that other hairdos suit you just as well (or maybe even better).
Better styles to try instead:
- The Statham stubble
- The close-shave
- The beanie
7. The bowl cut
A bowl cut can be difficult to make work even with full, thick hair, as it is generally flat and unflattering. Moreover, it relies on dense frontal hair to achieve its seamless look. A bowl cut can make your low hair density more conspicuous.
Better styles to try instead:
- The hard-edge Caesar
- The high and tight
- The textured forward-brushed
8. Power donut
The power donut is sometimes worn by men in the latter stages of hair loss. Characterised by a large bald spot on the hairline and crown, most men tend to shave the sides down as well by this stage to reduce the scalp/hair contrast.
Better styles to try instead:
- A clean-shaven head
- The Statham stubble
- The beanie
9. Ponytail with very thin hair
Ponytails tend to scrape your hair back and expose any thinning areas dramatically. So they’re best avoided if you have moderate or extensive balding.
Better styles to try instead:
- The longer textured hairstyle
- The bro flow
- The loose curls slicked back
10. Comb forward with very thin hair
Advanced frontal and mid-scalp hair loss can rarely be masked by a comb forward, as it will only draw attention to your baldness. If you want to wear longer styles, your best bet is to see a trichologist about an effective hair loss treatment for your stage of balding.
Better styles to try instead:
- The Statham stubble
- A close shaved head
- A clean-shaved head
Why is my hair thin?
There can be several reasons why your hair feels thinner:
- Genetics: If you have always had a fine hair texture and sparser locks, then it can simply be an inherited trait, similar to your height or eye colour. Genetics can also play a role in developing conditions which cause hair thinning, such as male pattern baldness. This doesn’t necessarily mean that if your dad is bald, you will go bald as well, but you are more likely to do so.
- A type of alopecia: if your hair has started thinning in time, it may be due to one of several conditions which can affect hair texture and/or density and cause hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia, or telogen effluvium.
- A systemic problem – hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunctions or diseases such as anaemia can cause your hair to thin.
- Medication – your hair may be falling out or thinning as a side effect of medication that can cause hair loss, such as certain heart medication, certain antibiotics or chemotherapy.
- Lifestyle choices – exposing your hair to UV light can lead to hair shedding, as too much sunlight is not good for your hair. Moreover, vitamin deficiencies can cause your hair to fall out as well, as can excessive use of heat styling or harsh chemicals (e.g. hair bleach or dye can cause hair loss).
Products to make your hair look thicker
Several kinds of products and procedures can help make your hair look thicker. Let’s take a look at some of the most common.
Hair thickening sprays
Hair thickening sprays contain very small fibres which bind to your hair strands, coating them and making them appear thicker.
Dry shampoo
Many dry shampoos contain ingredients that lift your hair, increasing its volume. And since it’s a myth that dry shampoo causes hair loss, you can use it safely if you still wet wash your hair regularly.
Spray-on hair
Also known as hair fibres, these products usually colour the visible thinning spots on your scalp, making them less conspicuous. Some of them also contain microfibres which stick to your scalp and hair, making your locks appear fuller.
Volumising shampoo
Shampoos that promise to add body to your hair normally contain light cleansing ingredients. These lift your hair fibres instead of weighing them down, creating the illusion of a fuller head of hair. While this kind of shampoo does not really make your hair thicker, here are the best shampoos for hair loss you can try.
Hair loss treatments
If you’re after more than a quick fix, there are also several hair loss treatments available. Minoxidil is often a first-line option, since it has minimal side effects and works for several different types of alopecia.
To find the most effective non-surgical hair loss treatment, it’s important to understand why your hair is thinning. Book a consultation with one of our top-tier trichologists and get the best advice on how to thicken your hair. They will provide you with the right diagnosis for your hair thinning and the best hair loss treatment for men.
Techniques to make your hair look thicker
You might not need to invest in specific products or treatments, especially if you’re in the early stages of hair loss. These techniques can make your hair look thicker with careful styling.
Blowdrying techniques
A good hairdryer can be an asset for making the most of thinning hair. To create volume, tip your head upside down and direct the hairdryer down the hair shaft. This will add volume and body to your hair.
A word of warning: heat tools like hairdryers can damage your hair if they’re not used correctly. Use the lowest possible heat setting, and always make sure you’re aiming the hairdryer down the hair shaft to keep your cuticles flat.
Add highlights or lowlights
Adding colour to your hair can create a sense of depth in otherwise flat, fine hair. Avoid DIY box dyes as these can hide any natural highlights and make your hair appear flatter.
Hair dyes can cause hair loss, especially if they’re applied to damaged hair. So it’s best to seek professional advice before tinting your hair.
Regular haircuts
It may seem counterintuitive, but getting your hair cut regularly will help retain the shape of your chosen style for thin hair. This adds volume and removes split or damaged ends, which can look straggly and make hair appear thinner.
Flip your hair parting
Switching your parting to the other side of your head can add instant volume and lift. This will only work for mid-length cuts or longer.
Teasing
Also known as backcombing, teasing is a classic styling trick for adding volume, especially for longer hair. It involves using a comb to brush your hair backwards at the root, adding fullness that’s then covered by the rest of your hair.
It’s best to avoid backcombing your hair often, as it can lift your cuticles and cause further damage. But it can help make your hair look thicker on special occasions.
Tackle thin hair with a hair transplant
Some people have naturally thin or fine hair, in which case careful styling can give you all the help you need for creating a more voluminous hairstyle.
But if your thin hair is caused by male pattern baldness or another hair loss condition, you may need to take extra steps to regain hair density.
A hair transplant is a surefire way to restore your hair. It’s an effective one-day procedure that can give you permanent, lifelong results, so you’ll never need to worry about unflattering haircuts again.
Book a consultation at the Wimpole Clinic to find out more. Our patient advisors will talk you through your options (including non-surgical hair restoration solutions) so you can make the right decision for you.
