Some people choose to use hair pieces and hair extensions to mask thinning hair. Other options include finding an experienced stylist who specializes in haircuts for women with hair loss.
Men who experience a receding hairline may find that the best hairstyles for hair loss are ones that cover and hide the balding area, such as a cut that is longer in the front and falls over the forehead. Another fashionable alternative for men is simply shaving the entire head.
