Medium Length Bob – If you have female hair loss, one of the best styles to wear is the bob, which is easy to maintain and gives the appearance of thickness. The bob has been seen on catwalks worldwide, which means that it will be a big trend in 2014.
You can wear a bob in various lengths, so talk it over with your stylists to decide on which one is right for you. You may also want to consider dyeing your hair to give the illusion of extra body, and again, talk to your stylist who will advise you on the right shade for your skin tone.
The bob is an extremely versatile cut and looks stylish for evening or casual day wear as you can dress it up or down with the use of clips or bands. Try experimenting with a variety of hair accessories to find the look you want.
With a medium length or short bob, you can also add a cropped fringe, which again, is a fashionable look for 2014.
Short and Chic – Among the top styles of the 2014 is a long Pixie cut which can be swept to the side, or the short crop, which can fall to the front.
There are several advantages to short hair for women with alopecia, as it makes the hair look thicker and generally requires less maintenance than longer styles – just use a textured hair product to style it into place, spritz on some hair spray, and you are good to go. Another benefit of the Pixie cut is that it also allows for the hair to grow back, without affecting the style.
Major stars have gone for the pixie cut including Anne Hathaway (‘Devil Wears Prada’), Halle Berry (‘Catwoman’), Emma Watson (‘Harry Potter’), singer Pink, Winona Ryder (‘Beetlejuice’), and even former Baywatch Star Pamela Anderson. It was certainly a big look for 2013, and the trend is set to continue.
Pretty much anyone can pull off this look, however, you do need a good stylist who will cut your hair according to your face shape. If you have a long forehead, for instance, you should go for a softer look with your hair swept forward.
Long and Natural Hair – If you want to keep your length, long and straight tousled hair is a top look for 2014 and needs very little maintenance.
The advantages of long hair is that it is easy to adapt and you can change the parting to suit your hair and your face shape, although wearing your hair with a centre parting will keep your locks bang on trend.
Talk over the various looks with your stylist, who can suggest the best ways to wear this style if you have hair loss. The hair cut straight and at the shoulder will give the illusion of thickness and width, and you will still benefit from the length.
For added charm, there are a variety of day and evening hair accessories you can use to bring sparkle to your tresses including clips and head bands. Alternatively, a stylish hat with long hair looks fabulous worn in summer or winter. Keeping your hair in tip top condition will also give your crowning glory a boost, so invest in a hair shine spray or luxury hair treatment that can be applied easily to either wet or dry hair.
If you are keeping your hair long, it is always best to blow dry your hair, rather than use straighteners. This may leave kinks or waves in your hair, but the resulting effect is natural and stylish.
