One way to cover up female hair loss is by changing your haircut. While this alternative is rejected by many people because they think it means they'll have even less hair, the idea is to create volume by cutting through layers or bangs to hide the absence of hair. This allows you to also emphasize your face, so that people focus on your eyes and not on your hair.

To cover up female hair loss, many people turn to treatments to stimulate natural regrowth of the hair. It turns out that there are many lotions that help with hair growth and which also help improve the person's appearance. However, there are many products that offer miracles and do not really deliver them - so beware! The main component of the products that work is minoxidil, which is responsible for stimulating the production of hair.

Find a wig that is similar to your hair color. This is a very effective way to hide the female hair loss. It is best to buy a wig with real long hair. Take it to your stylist to give you a similar cut so that you maintain the right look. Although many people are embarrassed to wear wigs, it is a temporary alternative to help hide the bareness of your scalp.

If you do not have bald scalp but your hair is getting thinner and losing volume, hair extensions can be of great aid to hide the onset of female hair loss. Ideally, like wigs, choose strands similar to your hair colour and ask your stylist to place them in the area where you need the volume most.

A more expensive but effective alternative to disguise female hair loss is to undergo a hair transplant. The treatment, as its name implies, means they will collect hair grafts from other parts of your body and place them on zones on your scalp where hair loss is far more evident. You can check with your local aesthetic beauty centers to see if they perform this treatment and ask for a price estimate.
