Best Haircuts to Hide Hair Loss

Hair loss is usually an unhappy development in any man’s life. It is often seen as a sign of aging. However, genetic hair loss can occur at any age. Which is why young men with hair loss can feel especially devastated. However, as David Beckham’s stylist explains, there are haircuts to hide hair loss.

 

Hairstyle for Balding Crown

If the crown of your head is balding, consider a hairstyle that leaves more hair in the front. This allows the focus to be on your hairline. With longer lengths in the front, you can brush hair back and smoothly cover the crown as well.

 

Hairstyle for Thinning Top

 

Ask your barber about haircuts to hide hair loss. If you have severe hair loss, you may also consult a dermatologist for options.

If you find that hair loss can be seen more on the top of your head, try cutting the sides and back shorter. This may seem like the opposite way to cover up this kind of hair loss, but it helps to make the top look thicker. The important part is to keep the top a good length — hair that is too long can actually show off the empty areas of the scalp. Instead, try to find a medium length, and use matte wax product for easy styling.

 

Hairstyle for Severely Bald

It may seem that the only style for those who are severely bald is to completely shave their head, or keep a tight buzz cut. Some men may actually prefer this look. For those who don’t however, there are options — thanks to new advancements in hair restoration, such as the Dr.UGraft™ System.

 

It used to be that men with advanced baldness were not able to benefit from hair transplants, due to not having enough hair to cover their baldness. This limitation came from traditional approaches only taking hair from the back of the head. The Dr.UGraft System is able to get past this limitation easily due to the Intelligent Punch™. With the Intelligent Punch (Dr.UPunch i™), hair from all over the body, beard, and nape may be used for hair restoration.

Watch the video below and see how this man is able to run his hands through his hair again. This was a feeling he had almost given up on, after years of failed hair transplant procedures at other clinics. However, Dr. Sanusi Umar (Dr. U) was able to extract 6,500 hair grafts from his head and body to deliver these spectacular results.

TESTIMONIALS

With hair loss a genetic inevitability in my family, I always knew that I was cursed to have a shiny scalp, but I never imagined it would happen so soon.  I first began to notice my hair loss in my very early twenties and in a matter of only a few years, I rapidly progressed to a Norwood 3 with diffuse thinning.  I felt like I had been robbed of my youth, but was hesitant to do anything about it.  For several more years I researched the various options and watched my hair slowly disappear.  After finally getting up the courage, I committed to getting a FUE hair transplant by a doctor offering a very affordable solution.  I chose this route because of my desire to not have the linear scar left by traditional transplants and the fact that money was a limiting factor. In the beginning, I thought I had made the right decision, but hopes dased as the result of this procedure began to make itself evident.  My hair appeared very pluggy and unnatural. 

The transplanted hairs stood at angles perpendicular to my scalp and at a density far below what I had expected.  In addition to that, the very large punches used in extraction of the individual follicles left large white dots checkered throughout the donor region of my scalp, removing the possibility of just cutting my losses and shaving everything off.  I became depressed and lived under a hat for a year.  The casual comments from people I had grown used to over the years about my receding hair became painful stabs as to the fact that I would never let anyone see my head.  Certain that hair restoration was just a pipe dream to those that did not understand the realities, I returned to the online hair loss community to ensure that others did not share the same fate as mine.  That is when I discovered Dr. Umar.

Is it ok for women to use 5% Rogaine to restore hair?

Is it ok for women to use 5% Rogaine to restore hair?

Minoxidil  5% is generally recommended for use by men, while the 2% concentration is considered safe for males and females. The pharmaceutical companies who manufacture the drug (e.g. Pfizer, the makers of Rogaine)  have not yet received FDA approval for allowing women to use the 5% version.  However, there have been small clinical trial studies which show that the 5% concentration is significantly more effective compared to the 2% product in women. While it is probably not safe for women to simply purchase Minoxidil 5% at the nearest drug store and apply it for their hair loss needs, the medication can be used with far less risk, if it approved by a doctor.  In fact there are dermatologists who do prescribe 5% and continuously monitor the patient for effectiveness and safety purposes.

Rumble In The Mud

At Derm Hair Clinic, we foster a work culture that is dedicated to excellent service and patient care. But also, we like to enjoy life and participate in opportunities to give back and be a positive force in the community. On September 14, 2013, we participated in Mud Run II, which was held in Acton, near the Antelope Valley. This is an event series sponsored by the Wounded Warrior’s Project. And it is organized by a father and son team, Ted and Kyle Guilmette (who served in Afghanistan) The Wounded Warrior’s Project is a non profit that provides events, programs and resources to veterans who were wounded in military engagements following 9/11. The organization is dedicated to economically empowering former soldiers and helping them adjust back to civilian life.

The 5K Mud Run that we were involved in consisted of:

  • 80 foot water slide
  • 26 obstacles
  • An A-frame chain link climb
  • 40 foot plank walk

Here are pictures of our team getting down and dirty!

Although it was 99 degrees, there was a lot of water and mud to balance out the heat and help the group of200 participants cool down. Ted Guilmette and Mike Minton, a senior master sergeant came up with the concept for the Mud Run, which has now become a regular event. According to Minton, “One of the things Wounded Warrior does is take people with missing legs and arms and gets them back out there doing running….To go from being injured on the battle field to being able to compete again with prosthetics helps guys feel like they’re back in the community.”
