Consultation
Ask for a
consultation before booking an appointment. Most salons offer these free of
charge, and it can help you to get a feel of the place and the stylists. Ask
lots of questions about the stylist and take a look at their hair and the
clients around them. If you don’t feel that it is right for you there is no
pressure to go back, and you can try having another consultation elsewhere. If
this all feels too time consuming, ask about a salon's experience with thinning
hair over the phone before booking a consultation. With so many women
experiencing this problem you are bound to find somewhere that has the
experience you are looking for.
Find a Truthful Stylist
Thinning
hair must be cut in a much different way to thick hair, so it is essential to
find a hair stylist who not only enjoys cutting and styling thin hair, but who
also will tell you the truth about your hair. Hairdressers who explain more
about your thinning hair and help you to understand how to best deal with it
will not only give you a better end result, but also will connect and bond with
you much faster. Building a rapport with the stylist is important, and will
help them to understand your requirements much better.
Understanding
Hairstylists
who help you to understand what you can do with your hair are perfect for those
of you who are unsure of what style to go for, and will help you to achieve a
glamorous, thick and healthy looking head of hair by the end. Try to find a
hairdresser who does not promise something that is not possible, and look for
ones who help you to embrace your female hair loss with a thickening style or
products. It is not always realistic to show your hairdresser a picture of a
model from a magazine and expect to look like it by the end – let your stylist
help to choose you a look using their expert knowledge.
Communication
Communication
is key for any hairdresser and client, but especially so if you have thinner
hair. A stylist who talks you through what they are doing and also shows you
how they are doing it will make you feel much more relaxed and confident in
their care. This will also help you to recreate the look later on at home. If
you find that your stylist does not make you feel relaxed, don’t feel stuck
with them, and instead shop around until you find a stylist who really
understands you and your hair.
Gentle Tools
Thinning
hair can be made much worse by rough pulling or brushing, so find a salon that
uses gentle combs and brushes to ease tangles out of your hair. You don’t want
to lose more hair than necessary with your stylist, and over tugging the hair
will cause further (temporary) hair loss and breakage. If possible also avoid
stylists that make excessive use of heated styling items such as straighteners
or curlers, as these can break your hair and cause split ends.
Similar Hair
If possible,
choose a stylist who has similar hair to you, as they will understand your
problems and needs much better with someone with thick hair would. Those with
long hair understand long hair better, whereas someone with short hair may be
more likely to cut more off to create a shorter style. If you can find a hair
stylist with thin hair, you’re much more likely to come out with a healthy and
chic style at the end which will be tailored specifically to your hair loss.
This can be a huge confidence booster, and will make you feel beautiful and
special.
Although
it's invaluable to find a good stylist, you should also take all possible steps
to address the cause of your thinning hair, to prevent further loss. Your first
step should be to arrange for an accurate female hair loss diagnosis – just
