About This Article
If you want to hide your baldness, keep your hair as volumized as possible, since flat hair will emphasize any bald spots. Consider switching to a volumizing shampoo, which will prevent product-buildup that can weight down your hair. Avoid using hair gel or other heavy products, and instead, blow-dry and round brush your hair to style it up and away from your scalp. Alternatively, go for a shorter hairstyle if you’re a guy because longer hair gets weighed down and lays flat. For larger bald spots, cover your head with a hat or scarf, which has the added benefit of protecting your head from the sun. To learn more, like how to hide thinning hair as a woman, read on.
