In this video, we're gon na cover three things. The first is thinning in the front and here in the temples, how to cover that up and what hairstyles are gon na work. Well, for that, the second thing we're gon na cover is, if you've got a bald spot back here, and you want to cover that up with hairstyles or just other cover-up tips. How to do that and then the third thing is: what are you going to do if what you're going to do, if you have all-over thinning here through here, how best to cover that up, so we're gon na talk about hair, styles and techniques I'll add some Timestamps down below in the description box, if you just want to go ahead and jump ahead to the different techniques that I'm gon na be covering. But let's just start straight off with trying to deal with receding, temples or hair loss in the temples or in the front. How you can deal with that mine is actually growing in really well, as you guys may or may not know from following my channel. I use Rogaine and minoxidil and I started to use it in my temples and just around here in the front, although because in the past I was sort of more concentrating back here and it's working really well, I have a really nice lock of growth here. You can see that is some new growth that's coming in, but I still have my thinner areas. Definitely, so I'm just going to show you guys what I would do. This is all stuff, that's inexpensive, stuff. You might have lying around the house already. You don't have to go, buy anything in particular, although you can, if you want, but what I'm gon na be using is just plain old. Eyeliner I've got this eyeliner, it's a wet and wild eyeliner. It cost. Maybe a dollar. You can get this from. Probably any drugstore inexpensive stuff, maybe even when you have lying around that you don't use this never worked for my eyes. It'S way too smudgy and the formula is not great. Tachi loves, wet and wild products, and I just can't they just don't they never work. For me, and so I've just switched this now to using it in my hair, what you can do is you can just let's say this: is the area you're trying to deal with here and you just want to fill it in a bit? Don'T be afraid, just go ahead and color this in, like you would be doing, is if you were doing eyebrows or anything like that. I don't know if you can see I'm just doing some light strokes. Let'S just say that this is an area I trying to cover you don't have to be too too precise about it. I mean you certainly can ah but you'll, see what we're gon na do, so it will be like strokes and it's not gon na look great at this point. But what you're gon na do is you're gon na use a spoolie same as the kind use for your eyebrows and what I would say about using a spoolie is just grab one from Sephora like next time you were trying a product, and you have like an Extra spoolie say you're trying an eyebrow product out. You can throw this out or you can keep it. That'S what I do. I keep these so that I have a good supply for using in my hairline and they work really great. So what you'll do is you'll. Just you're going to smudge that, just as if you were using just as if you were using it in your eyebrows, really and you're gon na see that it actually makes it quite a bit darker. So it does need a bit of work to get that in there, but it works really really well. That is one way to cover up thinning temples here or even you can use it in the front. If you had that kind of an issue, let's just say you wanted to fill that in you would just do the same thing and just make sure to smudge it out with your spoolie after same ideas, doing your eyebrows really not too much difference. What I'm gon na do now is show you this side and even faster way to cover up sort of balding, patches or thinning patches here and you'll, see a lot of other youtubers. Do this technique as well, because it's just so quick and easy just you want to just grab an eyeshadow that matches pretty closely your hair color. If you have really dark hair, like I do my hairs almost black, I would suggest using something that's sort of like a swirly gray color like a darker grey, like almost black grey, rather than black itself, because sometimes black has a bit of a blue undertone which Won'T look super nice, but I find if you use the dark grays, they seem to catch the light really nicely and I make tend to be a bit more naturalistic looking. So what I do in this case is like just go right in there. I go right in there with an eyeshadow brush and then I just - and I know you probably thought of this yourself, but this is so fast. I mean I don't know if you can see well try and pull in a bit, but it is so fast to cover up an area here. So that's if your temples are not thinning too too much, and you still want to wear one of these hairstyles where you know your temples are showing like. So you have your hair pulled back a bit like the way I do right now, but I would honestly suggest forgoing this all together and seriously think about just wearing the hairstyle, this a little more flattering for a receding hairline. This is not it. This is not a hairstyle. That'S gon na be receding. Sorry flattering for a receding hairline, if you're, finding you really thin in the temples and in the hairline here pretty much. The worst thing is a ponytail right because it's gon na pull and especially if you have sort of little clumps of hair that and almost never looks good because what's gon na happen is you're. Gon na have these little clumps and through each clump, you're gon na see your scalp, which is sort of not the look that you want. If you're really dead, set on a ponytail and at least make sure that when you are doing your ponytail you're, using a fine-tooth comb to spread out that hair so that it doesn't have those weird little you know like when you wear a ponytail, has those little Striations and those little clump formations, so you want to make sure that you are just combing it through and well show less scalp. If you do it that way, okay, but what I would recommend, though, is that you just don't wear your hair like this right. We'Ve got to work with what we've got, so my hair today is just freshly washed. I just wanted to make sure that I was working on a sort of even playing field with what most of us would have. So this is clean, hair, a tiny bit damp, and what I would suggest, though, is that, if you're trying to cover this up or cover this up, that you kind of start to think about how you can pull your hair down a bit more in the front And I know because I certainly had to deal with this myself - a curtain bang. So do we know what a curtain bag is right. That'S when your hair is sort of parted. More! Forgive me it's not the easiest to do this on camera, but a curtain bag is sort of more parted in the center right, and I like this and you're, not gon na - have to worry about air temples, showing quite so much or maybe like another part where Your hair kind of comes down across your forehead a bit like. There are ways to disguise it. Sometimes you got to just sort of figure out how best right. So if you did it like this, then this will be showing so you'd want to just sort of pull this down and and maybe work it that way my hair is sort of messy. I I do apologize. Let me comment now when you are combing. Just remember a tip that I like to share, always to start from the very back and kind of go from the mids. Then up. If you do that, you'll save yourself a lot of breakage, which is something we hair loss. Gals are always worried about. We always want to reduce our breakage, so I basically brush my hair backwards. Then I know this looks kind of loopy, but this is the way I do it, because I don't want to break off strands up where my part is and just up at the top of my head. Another tip - and this goes for - everyone - is to use a bit of hair spray in your hair after you've washed it. The reason for this is it gives it that tiny little bit of sort of tackiness and thickness that will help you style your hair, because when your hair, specially washed, it tends to be very soft - and it doesn't really want to hold styles shortcut - is dry shampoo. I don't love dry shampoo, though I just stick with just plain old, hair spray. I love this L'Oreal Paris, Elnett satin. I find it's the least sticky. It'S the easiest to work with, and I love an unscented hairspray, because I do not want to wear a scented hairspray. You just get this plume in the air and it just is really smelly. It'S not for me. I love this product at not sponsored. I just been using it for years and hair stylist recommended it to me, and I just have not found one that I like better. So I'm just gon na miss my hair. Just so, I can show you guys, some more stuff and when you're using hairspray go from underneath right in general, if you're dealing with hair loss, my suggestion is work from underneath your hair as much as you can for the reasons I just discussed, avoiding breakage, avoiding Pulling at the tops and stuff like that, um yeah bit of hair spray goes a long way and just really fluffing things up and being able to style your hair more easily. If you're trying to cover up a bald spot, then who? Let me tell you, I have been there done that, and it was a lot trickier when my hair was shorter. So when I couldn't do any kind of ponytails, I just didn't have the link for that. That was the most difficult phase. So that's something to keep in mind if you're thinking about like getting a short bob and you have a bald spot. I will just say when your hair's a bit longer. You have definitely a lot more styles that you can play with and ways to cover it up. If you have one that sort of in the back here, which is where mine is I'm gon na have a look now, it's really filled in really nicely. I don't think that you're gon na see too much, but let me tell you this is my issue that I was grappling with now for ages. As I said before, Rogaine and minoxidil haven't really helps you fill it in along with other stuff. I make a lot of this kind of content, so, if you're struggling with hair loss, I hope you will subscribe. I only make really hopefully helpful videos here and I don't try and like get into any scamming products or sell you anything like that. Just straightforward advice from my perspective and the sort of few years now that I've been in the hair loss community, what works, what sort of doesn't work, how to be realistic about, what's gon na happen, going forward different treatments and also remember to give this video a Like if you're finding it helpful, but as I was saying, if you've got that bald spot, you want to cover it and you're in luck, because it is one of the easier situations out of all the ones I've had to deal with, because I have dealt with This thinning area here the thinning temples in the front I have dealt with the Oliver sort of diffuse loss here and a thinning part. The bald spot is actually oddly the easiest in a way to fix. You'Ve heard me talk about just using hair fibers to cover up that bald spot or using L'Oreal's magic root cover-up. I talk about this a lot in my channel, so I'm not gon na belabor those, but what I would say just if you're not wanting to use those products or really you're. Just it's really getting you down is figure out a way to wear like a half ponytail or even a ponytail. Those are gon na be really honestly. Just your easiest looks I like to use these little. Don'T use a big elastic like for a thick hair. If you don't have to care what you possibly do, not you're struggling with a bald spot use these little little elastics they're meant to be for like tiny, braids and stuff like that, but you can certainly use them on a sort of baby ponytail. When I mean it, baby ponytail is like one of those half up kind of ponytails. So soon, as my hair got long enough, what I did was, I just started wearing a sort of half up style and I felt that that actually, just completely like the hair was completely over my thinning spot. So, just a real, simple twist right, this kind of casual alike and you'll probably meet two of these. This is just the easiest. I don't feel like. I'M really teaching you something you don't know here. Maybe just a reminder come play. If you have this little mini ponytail covering your bald spot, then you're not gon na be worried about it or thinking about it. None of these are necessarily long-term solutions. These are just cover-ups. Like I strike, I always say I strongly suggest you see your doctor figure out. What'S causing your hair loss, it could be something really simple and you will be kicking self downline for just not having gone to your doctor and gotten a simple blood test that maybe you could have gosh to the bottom of it to help address it, because the Sooner you get on top of hair loss. I promise you the easier it is. You don't want to wait till the situation is, is quite dire. You don't want to wait till then I hear from lots of people on my Instagram account where you're welcome to drop me a note and connect with me there. I try and get to all the questions, but you don't want to be like one of the women who contact me and say that they've been thinking about it for years, and they never did me think about it, like you want to get on this, when you Start noticing hair loss. It'S much easier that way, so yeah sweet, little sweet, little half updo like this, and then you know you don't have to worry about your bald spot. That'S my number one SuperDuper easy tip. If you're, finding your your little top, not your tiny mini bun here is just too skinny and too anemic. Looking then, what you can always just do is add some helper hair, as I like to call it. This is just a weft. I think they call this from some hair extensions that I made in the past and what you can do is just you can add this to your ponytail. It'S just woven, I don't know if you can see, but you're, not gon na, be showing anybody the prep that part you're just gon na fold it I'm just folding it up a bit, and you can just stick it up here right and just start to twist. This around, if you want this, to look thicker, it's just so simple like these are all simple things. None of these products are expensive. Think all this hair. I can't remember the price, but I feel like you can get it for maybe $ 30 for a whole bunch. I mean enough to make a lot of extensions, not just this tiny bit of hair, and then you just want to go over this tiny little bun with another elastic. That'S why it's good to have these little skinny ones, they're! Quite good! You know if that's not, if you don't feel like that, so that made it thicker, as you can see, and if you're feeling, like that's not gon na hold that well just grab some bobby pins and stick that in there as well. So I'm just gon na secure this like say, you're going for a jog or something like this, and I do apologize as you can see here, like everything's a little rough and ready because I'm not a hairstylist. I am just someone. Who'S just dealt with a whole lot of hair loss in her life, or at least the last few years of my life. Okay, so I've got some bobby pins in there carrot and it stay it's gon na stay. So that's what I would do if I'm trying to cover a bald spot. You may want to make sure that nothing's too tight here. You don't want to yank out any extra hair because trying to keep all our precious precious hairs. That'S how I do it for a spot - that's back here or here, right, half ponytail is the way to go. Okay, my hair's getting progressively wilder and Wilder as this video goes on. But another thing I wanted to show you, if you're also just trying to deal with the bald spot. Let'S just say it's right here as it is for me. What you want to do, maybe, then, is just rethink where your part is. If your hair is long enough to go all the way over this way, that way your combing your hair over, I realize it sounds like a comb-over and it is. But who cares again? You want to use a fine-tooth comb and I say again because I talked about this in my first point: it's really good to use these because they break up those lumps that are in your hair that make your that when they cling together, you can see through To your scalp, so using a fine-tooth comb really helps to break them up and give a more diffuse look to the hair, but yeah you want to just - and this is an easy hairstyle too. You just want to kind of comb over that area here and you want to do ponytail. You just want to do a simple ponytail here, you're going to secure it right here and why not just do a little simple side ponytail, if you want to do a low bun or something like that, that'll work too, and once again you can add your hair. You can just add this little simple stretch of hair, which is what I'm gon na show you now yeah. I like to just fold it up because I'm lazy, I'm sure I could stitch it, but I just don't care so you just kind of do this and do these. Like I said these little baby elastics are like your best friend just want to go in there, pull this through and yeah. You just start working on something. That'S gon na like approximate, maybe like a little bun whatever it is. You want to do another super cute style, it's good for hot days. It'S on really hot day here, so yeah hop the second elastic over the whole little kitten, caboodle and that'll. Be that okay, so that's like messy-looking, so we'd want to fix that a little bit. Ah yeah, but at least it looks nice and thick right, so there we go perfectly adequate, I mean: are we gon na be mistaking this for an updo for the red carpet? No or not, but that took me all of like three minutes to do hope to gather and uh it has a nice sort of thick look and also my bald spot is completely concealed now, because a hair all of hair all over it. So yes, so that was tips for bald spots. Now, let's move on to all-over, thinning hair and how to cover that up. If you have all over thinning hair or what they also called diffuse hair loss, meaning you can see a lot of your scalp through this part of your hair. I'M gon na give it to you really straight here. There'S no sense in sort of you know covering it up. That is the hardest thing to cover up in my experience, because I've been there as well like when your part is very thin and you can really see through down into your scalp area and if you can sort of see your fingers really well through your hair. For example, that's when it gets a little harder, you're gon na have probably limited success, but I'm going to show you some hairstyles that hopefully could help really. I would strongly suggest that you use topic or you use some sort of or any other hair fiber. It doesn't have to be this one or some sort of root cover-up spray to really help, and I also find that women with diffuse hair loss are the happiest when they use Stoppers. So if you don't know what a topper is, that's just helper hair. It'S not a full wig. It is just almost like a half wig that just covers up sort of the really thinning areas, and sometimes this part will be here, but then there's also ones with bangs. I'M making a video about that, hopefully really soon as well. So another reason to stay tuned and subscribe and hit that notification bell if your hair, if you have, if you're, just like always parting your hair, of course, you know if you've been watching my channel, I always say shake up that part. You don't to be wearing the same part for like a decade of course, you're gon na have like breakage in that area, so try and switch that part, but also maybe consider not wearing such a straight part. What you can do is just you know: you have your hair, all styled and combed, but just take your fingers here and just you'll want to break that up. So you'll just want to even just reach in from behind and break up that area here, and you can see already that you can't really see my scalp when I do that. So you know you can pull some hair from over here too, and it's not enough. Just to do that, you really do have to hit it pretty aggressively with hairspray. If you want it to stay, a mistake that women make when they have a lot of diffuse hair here is that they don't they're just so fixated on their scalp. They forget that this part of the hair really needs to look good, nice and full as well. You can't really wash and go like if you want your hair to look amazing. Almost everyone wants to be like zero effort and to have amazing looking hair and that's a reality for very few people about theirs. So it's okay to be effortful! It'S okay! To spend time to make your hair look better! Try and do something to make this part of the hair. Look shiny, sleek, healthy wavy, whatever it is, your style is that you're going for a, but, I would just say, spend a little more time fixing this hair don't get just all fixated on this. Of course try to break this up because that will help add volume and obscure what's going on here. This is really visible once again, that's a reason to use spray, it's a reason to use topic or go ahead. If you really have you don't want to buy those products or you just don't, have them on hand right now. Just grab like I said your dark eye shadow and if you can really see through there, just go ahead and put this stuff in there. Why not? This is eye shadow right. You just want to grab your eye shadow and just cover it up. You'Ll find that it works on your eyelids. It'S gon na work on your scalp really well too. So, breaking up that part here is one of my top tips for that, and also is really consider going for a really deep part. Those were more in style a little while ago than they are now I'd say I don't even know it's been years. I'M gon na say four years: maybe it was more sell than it is now, but it is still really effective. You know you don't have to part up here where your eyebrow is. You don't have to part in the middle if you're, finding that your hair is actually thicker here then just go ahead and part. It deeper do a deeper part, but what I would suggest is you'll have this kind of stuff going on here. That looks too heavy, as you can see, I've created some nice volume here and covered a lot of what's going on, and here you'll want a hairspray that down and you. So maybe you want to consider putting in some waves here, maybe just some gentle waves. You can use like a foam roller if you have one just roll it up here. You know you could even just bobby pin that here in a while, that should be a little bit of a wave or you can use a curling iron or even a flat iron there's a technique to just turn it a little bit and make this look. Make the attention come here? That'S what I'm trying to say. If you have some really cute waves or some sort of nice sort of look right here, then it takes away some of the emphasis on your scalp area. Those are all my tips for looking after your hair, if it's thinning here or if it's thinning back here and you've got this visible or if it's just sitting all over there always things you can do so. I just want to reiterate you know. Let'S say you don't want to buy a chopper, you don't you're, not ready to see the doctor or use medication, yet we've all been in different places. No judgement here. I just wanted to show you some really fast easy, affordable ways to style your hair. If you're dealing with those circumstances and just a reminder that I make a lot of this kind of content, so if you're dealing with hair loss, I don't only just talk about Rogaine minoxidil. I made things about. I made like videos about how to make sure that your hair keeps growing soft and healthy and long and I've made another video about like hair loss mistakes that all women have made their first year of discovering they have had hair loss, so go ahead and check Those out, if you haven't already, I hope this is helpful and we'll see you soon.
