Why it works with thinning hair
Waves add natural volume, and a loose fringe hides the temples. Wavy hair looks thicker than it is when it is left to move.

What to tell your barber

Leave about 2 to 3 inches on top with texture to bring out my waves, and let the front fall forward. Low taper or fade on the sides. Please don’t thin it out too much.

How to style it

  1. Scrunch in a little sea salt spray or curl cream while damp.
  2. Air-dry or use a diffuser. No brushing once it is dry.

A good cut makes thinning less noticeable, but it does not stop it. For that, see finasteride vs minoxidil.
