With the holidays coming up, it’s time to dress up, fix your hair and makeup and enjoy the festive celebrations. But for many women, hair thinning is a problem. But you should know, women hair thinning is not uncommon. In fact, the most common reason for hair thinning is hereditary hair loss — 90% of cases! {It is a genetic condition stemming from either the mother or father’s side of the family and is commonly recognized by women in their 30s as a “diffuse” thinning over the top of the head and along the part.}

So what can women do about hair thinning?

First, hereditary hair loss is treatable! Ladies, you need to be informed about the early signs. Here are three signs to watch for:

Thinning Hair – hair loses volume and density over time
Hair Shedding – increased hair accumulation in shower, pillow, and hair brush. Most people lose between 50-100 hairs a day, which is considered normal hair loss; a consistent loss of 150 hairs a day is considered significant hair loss. If hair loss is sudden or patchy, consult a medical professional.
Widening part or visible scalp – increased scalp visibility is a definite sign of hair loss.

Second, if left untreated, hair thinning can worsen over time; women can lose approximately one-sixth of their hair density over a period of 10 years! With continued use once a day every day, Women’s Rogaine^® 5% Minoxidil Foam is clinically proven to regrow up to 25% more hair in 3 months. Make sure to stick with it to maintain results!

Styling Tips and Tricks for Thinning Hair

How about we all enjoy our holiday festivities and not worry about thinning hair? In fact, here are three great styling tips from celebrity stylist Jill Crosby just for you!

1. One simple thing that everyone can do is keep their hair and scalp clean. Jill Crosby says, “Keeping the scalp clear of waxy buildup creates a better environment for hair regrowth. I recommend shampooing every other day, for every type of hair.”

2. Switch up your part. Jill Crosby says, “Experiment with flipping your part to the opposite side. By adding a little texture spray to the roots you can get a new voluminous flip started. Or try a look without a defined part – sometimes with fine hair parts can expose too much scalp.”

3. Get a haircut! Jill Crosby says, “For most people shorter haircuts will create the illusion of volume, whereas the longer hair gets the more it weighs itself down and looks even thinner.” An example of this would be the super on-trend “Lob” which is a longer version of the bob cut.

Short Hair Styles for the Holidays

I have short hair this holiday season. So finding a fun hairstyle for the holidays isn’t always as easy for me. It seems you can be more creative with long hair. But, if you have thinning hair, like the styling tips above, short hair gives the illusion of fuller hair. So I found four short hairstyles that will work for the holidays season.

Which hairstyle do you think works best for short hair?
