Great Hair Cut Styles to Mask the Look of Thinning Hair

Whether you’re a femele or a male, hair loss and thinning hair can make you feel less attractive. Beauty it seems is more than just in the eye of the beholder; it’s rooted in our DNA. In Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty Scientific, Harvard Medical School faculty member, practicing psychologist and author Nancy Etcoff, demonstrates that beauty is neither a learned behavior nor an invention of the fashion industry. Instead she argues that our ability to discern what is beautiful is rooted in our biology. How we perceive ourselves and how we think others perceive us impacts our self-esteem. Our hair is one of the first things people notice about us. We style it to make ourselves look more attractive and just like a lion’s mane is designed to attract a mate, our hair is a part of our sex appeal.

Hair frames our face and helps highlight those features (our smile, eyes and skin) that people first notice and find attractive about us. Men and women who are losing hair may want to choose hairstyles that are designed to make hair look thicker and fuller. As an alternative to hair loss treatment, men and women will find that with just the right cutting techniques your hairstylist can make thinning, fine hair look voluminous in no time.
