Haircuts and styles
So... Wondering if anyone out there would be willing to share the hairstyle they use to cover areas of FFA. I know some folks are private about pictures, but would love to see some different styling options and what has worked for people who are still "wearing" their own hair. I read an article that said people think keeping hair longer is the best way to hide bald/thinning areas, but the reality is... It's not the length, but the cut. So... Going this week (tomorrow, actually) to get a hair cut... And would genuinely appreciate some feedback/help/pictures. And thank you!

Hi there. Sorry to hear about the thinning. I am not sure if it is the FFA or not, but I've found that along with the recession also comes some texture differences in my hair. I've always had thinner hair, but the styles I chose made t look fuller. That is getting a little harder. I've uploaded a picture that was taken yesterday. It is a bit dark... But you get the idea of my haircut. He (my hairdresser) literally is taking hair from beyond the hairline and pulling it forward. It works for now to hide the larger areas of loss above my ears and at my temples. I also have glue in pieces for those areas but am not wearing them in this photo. We do what it takes... And once we sort it out, it seems to get better. Stay positive... And share a recent picture if you don't mind.

Hi there! What's working for me right now is shoulder length hair with lots of layers. I have choppy layers around my face so that if I tuck my hair behind my ears shorter layers fall forward and hide my temples. I never wear my hair up except for a low ponytail. With a low ponytail my front layers hide my temples. So far my front hairline is acceptable, I don't need bangs just yet, but the hair line is uneven from my hair loss. I use a volumizer in front to add texture and pull it forward a bit with an off center part. On a really bad day I use something call Hair Veil on my front hairline, which is a powder makeup that helps to hide hair loss. Hope this helps! Good luck!
