Get ready to let your hair down: No matter what your face shape and hair texture, one of these flowing celebrity cuts will work for you.
CLASSIC
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, might be royalty, but her cut is quite common. "This style is all one length that's been curled," says hairstylist Juan Carlos Maciques of the Rita Hazan Salon in New York City. The long haircut calls for thick, dense hair (otherwise the ends can look stringy) and works on pretty much all face shapes, except for long ones, which it can elongate even more. To create the big curls at the bottom, use a two-inch curling iron to clamp down on the ends of the hair, then roll it up, holding the iron horizontally.
ALLURE TIP: Long hair is prone to split ends. Weekly masks and trims every two months will help.
LONG, BLUNT LAYERS
"Sofia Vergara's layers start at the collarbone and are cut bluntly and at random, rather than blended, which gives the illusion of thicker hair," Maciques says. The cut suits round and heart-shaped faces best, and it's ideal for straight or wavy textures, since tight curls require too much maintenance.
ALLURE TIP: When adding layers in front, women with round faces shouldn't go shorter than the chin; those with elongated faces can go shorter or add bangs.
LONG, CHOPPY LAYERS
Minka Kelly's layers are also long, but there are more of them and they are less chunky than Vergara's, starting higher up and going from the chin down. "Minka's cut has more layers that are chopped into the bottom for lightness, which she can get away with because her hair is thick," says Maciques.
CURLY
"Since Beyoncé's hair is naturally curly, her hair is actually several inches longer than it appears," says Maciques. Her layers are still long and minimal, cut about two or three inches from the ends and thinned at the bottom to avoid a poufy cloud of hair. This cut is best for naturally curly or wavy hair; an iron helps smooth any frizz.
ANGLED
"Emma Roberts's short, evenly blended layers are angled down so they become seamless," Maciques says. "It's the perfect long cut for fine hair, because it gives body and movement without looking straggly." A side part and jaw-length layers in front help shorten her oval face well, but the cut also flatters just about anyone.
ALLURE TIP: If your hair is fine, don't go more than two inches below the collarbone, and avoid too many layers so the ends don't get stringy.
WITH BANGS
Adding bangs helps soften or shorten square, oval, elongated faces, as is the case with Olivia Wilde, who also incorporates long layers that start at her collarbone. Avoid too-blunt bangs; cut into them so they fall softly at your forehead. Your hair can be thick or thin, but unless it's naturally straight, you'll become a sla
ve to styling.
How long can you go? If these seven celebrities are any indication, as long as you want—just throw in some layers or bangs to complement your face shape and hair texture. Here, our favorite haircuts for long hair—and how to get them.
FRONT LAYERS
Allison Williams
"Her hair is heavily layered around the face, with barely there layers at the back and ends," explains hairstylist Matt Fugate. Ideal for straight textures, it's extra flattering for someone with lots of fine hair. (It gives weight so the layers don't look wimpy.) As for face shape? "You can position the layers to flatter any shape," explains Fugate. Start your layers at your cheekbones if you have an oval or heart-shaped face and a little above your cheekbones if you've got a square jawline, like Williams.
TAPERED ENDS
Sarah Jessica Parker
Parker's long-layered cut removes bulk and keeps her natural spirals from ballooning out. Her horizontal layers start at collarbone level in the back but remain long in front. "That way, when you tuck your hair behind your ears, you don't get the dreaded wedge shape," says Fugate. "The hair looks thick but streamlined."
LONG WITH BANGS
"If you want to add bangs to a long
hairstyle, look no further than Swift's '60s cut. To avoid
dorky-looking blunt bangs, don't cut them too wide, says Fugate. "They
should create a triangle shape that aligns with the outer corners of
your eyes, exactly like Taylor's." Also, ask your hairstylist to snip up
into the ends so they're not too blunt and add a few light, graduated
layers in front. As for the rest of your hair, you could keep it one
length or sprinkle in a few light layers. "Just don't make the layers
around your face too short," warns Fugate. "They'll look most flattering
if they begin below the chin."
LONG WITH
TIGHT CURLS
Beyoncé
"For this wild, curly texture, you need beautifully blended, round layers all around your head to lend weight without looking heavy," says Fugate. You're safe no matter what your face shape—the trick is to keep the layers on the longer side. "Beyoncé's first layer doesn't start until chin level.
ALLURE TIP: Always get a dry cut, says hairstylist Lorraine Massey of Devachan Salon. "Curly dry hair and curly wet hair are two different things."
For a simple, versatile option,
try Chastain's long haphazard layers. "I take the bottom two inches of
hair and cut them in a way that's not too perfect by pointing the
scissors downward," says hairstylist Renato Campora, who recently gave
Chastain a trim. The slightly imperfect ends make this a wash-and-go
kind of cut. "You can blow it out or let it air-dry—the cut takes care
of the styling for you." This cut complements every face shape and can
be styled with a middle or side part.
SUPERLONG HAIR
Hailee Steinfeld
Steinfeld demonstrates cascading long hair done the right way—meaning not at all like Rapunzel. The trick is balancing the length with a few face-framing layers. "Her hair is all one length, other than a few layers starting at her cheekbones, which are sliced with a razor," says hairstylist Marcus Francis, who has styled Steinfeld's hair.
ALLURE TIP: Avoid this length if you have fine strands—they can turn feathered or limp near the ends.

For starters: It basically reaches your butt when it's braided. I can say that, because that's me, above. And now, seven other signs your hair is too long...1. You get a lot of: "Your hair is so long!" It's almost always followed by an awkward pause that you fill with "Thaaaaank you!" But you know the truth: There was no compliment.
2. A man on the subway tells you, "You look like Cher, nice lady!" Also, you're secretly really happy about it.
3. It gets caught on your purse. I'm not talking about when you have your bag on your shoulder (child's play). I'm talking about when your bag is in the crook of your arm, the strap tugs on your hair and, man, it hurts.
4. You can't wear a bun to save your life because your hair is so heavy that it keeps sliding around, so you just wait for the side bun to come into style. (Looking at you, 2016!)
5. You're at a fancy dinner, and you have to keep throwing your hair over your shoulder because you—and everyone else in the room—are painfully aware that it's grazing the table. Yeah, it's gross.
6. You get tangled and not, like, your hair gets the occasional knot (you'd be happy for the occasional knot). You're tangled as in your hair is caught up in your scarf...and your coat...and your sweater. Help!
7. You decide to write about it. Bye, now. I'm making a hair appointment.
I’ve been experimenting a lot with Castor Oil lately as a natural beauty remedy. I already use it in my oil cleansing blend each day, and I’m enjoying the results from using castor oil packs on my skin.
Months ago, a friend mentioned that she loved castor oil for her hair and eyelashes. I was really skeptical because castor oil has a very thick and sticky consistency that I couldn’t imagine using in hair. I did some research and found out that I had been seriously missing out on a simple and really effective traditional beauty remedy…
Castor Oil for Hair and Skin
Castor oil is an age old beauty treatment that has been largely replaced over time by fancier beauty products with more ingredients and a bigger price tag.
Castor oil has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and is high in Vitamin E, minerals, proteins, and Omega 6 and 9 beneficial fatty acids. Its unusually high ricinoleic acid ratio makes it beneficial to skin and hair.
In fact, castor oil has traditionally been used topically for acne and other skin conditions, as well as hair loss, rashes and more.
Castor Oil for Natural Hair Regrowth
Castor oil can be used on the scalp to help prevent and remedy hair loss and it is effective at this for several reasons. It’s antibacterial and anti fungal properties make it beneficial against follliculitus, dandruff and scalp infections and its ricinoleic acid content helps increase circulation to the scalp and improve hair growth.
Ricinoleic acid is also said to help balance scalp pH which can also help replenish the scalp’s natural oils and undo some of the damage of harsh chemical hair products (and even damage from no-poo, due to over alkalinity). The antioxidants in castor oil also support the keratin in hair and help make hair stronger, smoother and less frizzy.
Three Times the Growth?
There are hundreds of testimonials from people who used castor oil to increase their hair growth 3-5x the normal rate. A friend of mine was struggling with postpartum hair loss and even once her hair loss slowed, regrowing her hair was difficult.
She measured her hair growth for a month and it grew almost half an inch. The next month, after using castor oil hair treatments twice a week, her hair had grown almost 2 inches. She tested this again the following month and noticed the same result and that her hair was dramatically thicker.
My Experience
Last year, when I was under extreme stress for a short period of time (finishing my book *ahem*), I noticed increased hair loss. My Hashimotos makes me more susceptible to hair loss when I’m under stress and I was stressed about my hair loss (vicious cycle).
To combat this, I experimented with natural castor oil treatments both alone and mixed with other oils and often did this while I was up working on my book at night.
I too noticed that my hair seemed stronger and that there was definitely less hair in my brush each day after a few weeks of castor oil treatments. Additionally, I started seeing tiny new hairs all around my hair line.
Random observation: I split my head open when I was younger, requiring 8 staples in my scalp. Where the scar is, I have a patch of super-curly hair that falls in a perfect ringlet, even though the rest of my hair is wavy/straight. The castor oil seemed to help make this hair patch smoother, though it grew at a faster rate than the rest of my hair.
Now, I’ve made these castor oil hair treatments a regular part of my weekly routine and often do them at night, while wearing my blue blocker glasses and reading or watching a movie with my hubby.
What Type of Castor Oil is Best?
There are several options for castor oil hair treatments. I prefer to make my own, but there are some pre-made options (this is a good one that I’ve tried in the past).
To make my own, I mix castor oil with another hair-healthy oil and herbs to help support scalp health. Unrefined and cold pressed hexane free castor oil is preferred.
I already had this one on hand from my castor oil packs, so I used it. Castor oil is extremely thick and viscous so I prefer to mix with jojoba or argan oil in a glass dropper bottle for easy application.
There is a special type of castor oil called Jamaican Black Castor oil that has extremely good reviews. I tried it as well and it seemed to work about the same as regular castor oil on my hair, but it seems that it might provide additional benefit for those with thick or dry hair (my hair is fine/oily).
How to Use Castor Oil Treatments on Hair
Important tips when using castor oil treatments in your hair:
- Like many things in life, more is not always better, and only a small amount is needed for an all-over hair treatment. The additional oils are completely optional.
- I’ve found that this treatment works better on damp but not wet hair. I keep a spray bottle of water in the bathroom and just spritz my roots before applying.
- For maximum benefit, I leave the treatment on for several hours or overnight. After applying, I use a shower cap or towel to avoid getting the oil on furniture or a pillow.
- Removing the castor oil can be difficult, especially with natural shampoos. I’ve found that using a small amount and leaving it on overnight will result in most of the oil absorbing into the hair and scalp and make cleanup easier. In fact, I’ve been able to dry shampoo and not wash on a few occasions. When I do shampoo, I use Branch Basics to cut through the oil and then shampoo with natural shampoo or mud shampoo as normal.
- An alternate way is to crack an egg and whisk until smooth and then massage the egg into the scalp. This helps break down the oil and adds additional nutrients to the hair. It is messy though, so I’d recommend doing this in the shower.
- Another less-messy way is to condition your hair before getting in the shower, massaging conditioner into the scalp to help remove the castor oil. Then, shampoo as usual.
- NOTE: With any new oil, herb or product, test a tiny amount on your inner arm to make sure you don’t have a reaction to castor oil. While reactions are rare, some people will notice irritation from castor oil.
- I’ve also used this in combination with my hair growth serum with great results (I use the serum first to dampen hair, then apply the castor oil)
- It is also important to support the body nutritionally and hormonally with hair loss, as this can often be a sign of an internal problem.
- TIP: I rub a tiny amount of castor oil on my eyelids at night to help eyelash growth as well. It is also part of my eyelash growth serum recipe (sharing next week)
Finding your best combination of oils (or castor oil alone) will require some experimentation and I’d love to hear what you find works best for you. My favorite mix is:
- 3 Tablespoons of Castor Oil
Instructions:
- Mix ingredients in a dark colored dropper bottle.
- Shake to mix.
- Use the dropper to apply to the scalp. I part my hair right above the ear on one side, add a few drops of castor oil, part again about 1/2 inch from that part, add more castor oil, and so on until I’ve coated my whole scalp.
- Then, I massage for 5 minutes to make sure entire scalp is coated and to help increase circulation.
Note:
This will make enough for 5+ uses depending on the length of your hair.
Not all haircuts are created equal. While you might think shampoo and conditioner are all you need to keep your strands in shape, short hair has its own needs to consider. With that in mind, we put together four hair care tips for keeping more closely cropped locks looking lovely.
Get regular trims
The most important thing to remember when it comes to keeping short hair looking great is to maintain the shape. This means regular trips to see your hair stylist, even more so than if you had longer locks since one of the biggest challenges when it comes to shorter hair is the fact that it needs more maintenance. Short hairstyles need to be cut every four to five weeks to keep it looking its best.
Develop a healthy hair routine
While you might think hair is hair no matter the length, shorter hair needs its own set of products. Use a custom blend of products that work specifically for short hair to maintain the style. Maintaining a good shampoo and conditioner routine is important because even though the hair is short, it still needs to be kept healthy and shiny. Shampoo and condition hair as usual, and we suggest using an argan oil-based styling product to keep hair soft, manageable and looking great. Also be sure to condition on a daily basis to keep hair from looking dry.
Don't forget about your scalp
You might not realize it but your scalp should get the same attention you give the rest of your skin. Just like dead skin and pore-clogging debris can build up on your face, your scalp can get weighed down, too. Build-up on your scalp can mean flakes, dryness and irritation (no thanks!). Think about adding an exfoliating scalp treatment to your short hair care routine. These treatments are great, as they serve as a facial for the hair and stimulate the scalp.
Avoid product overload
If you've been relying on an array of styling products to keep your strands in shape, it might be time to take a break or at least be choosier with what you use. Certain hair care products can do more harm than good in the long run. Don't overuse products like gels and pomades that can make hair look dull and greasy. It's also good to keep in mind that over-use of these popular short hair products can clog the hair cuticle and make hair lackluster, causing strands to look oily and lifeless.

Natural Hair Care Tips
- A once a week hot oil treatment with olive or coconut oil will help keep you scalp and hair nourished.
- If you suffer from dandruff, try using natural remedies such as neem and mint instead of using dandruff shampoos. This is because dandruff shampoos tend to be harsh on your hair and can make your hair extremely dry and brittle.
- If you are someone who shampoos their hair every day, then try to cut down slowly. Go from daily shampooing to thrice a week or twice a week. Shampooing every day can result in your hair follicles getting damaged, not to mention that your scalp will be stripped of its natural oils.
- Avoid using a blow dryer to dry your hair. Regular blow drying can lead to a dry scalp and split ends. So towel dry and let your hair air-dry naturally as much as possible.
- Never brush your hair when it is wet. Your hair is most fragile when it is wet. So let it dry completely before you take a comb or brush to it.
- As for black hair tips for growth, apart from using amla and curry leaves in your haircare regime, make sure you also ingest them. What you eat will reflect on how your hair looks. Amla and curry leaves are great for black hair as they keep it shiny and prevent premature greying. So make them a regular addition to your diet.
Now that you’ve read our natural black hair care tips, go ahead and make some changes to get that shiny, glossy black hair that you always wanted.

Stark black hair can be stunning, especially with our Indian skin tone. But unless you take good care of your mane, your gorgeous black hair can turn into a dull, lifeless mess.

Here Are Some Black Hair Tips

Don’t let any such things to strip away the shine from your hair, leaving it looking dry and limp. Follow our black hair tips to keep your hair in superb condition, looking soft and with a midnight black hue.
Make Some Changes To Your Lifestyle
What many people do not seem to realize is that their lifestyle actually plays a huge role when it comes to the health of their hair. Your lifestyle can favourably or adversely affect how your hair looks and feels. We have listed some of the bad triggers here. Take a look and see how many of them apply to your lifestyle.
Bad Triggers
- Use of too many hair styling products
If any or all of these apply to you, then it is time for you to make some major lifestyle changes. Adequate sleep, a relaxed mind and a healthy body are all factors that make up the natural black hair care tips list. So make the necessary changes to see an improvement when it comes to your mane issues.
Change Your Eating Habits
When it comes to natural black hair care tips, one of the most influential aspects is your diet. What you ingest will reflect how you look on the outside. For instance, we know that eating a lot of greasy, fatty foods can lead to breakouts. But did you know that it can also lead to hair breakage and hair fall? This is because when your body does not get the nourishment it needs, it starts to neglect what it considers unimportant components and starts to push whatever nourishment it does get towards the more important or vital components.
What this means is that, when your food habits are unhealthy, your body is starved for nourishment. Whatever nourishment it gets goes towards enriching your organs such as the heart and kidneys, while your skin, hair and nails suffer from a lack of nourishment. To break this cycle you need to give your body all the nourishment it needs. So eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and make sure you get all the vitamins that you need.
Expert Answers on Alopecia
In today’s Science Times, Claudia Dreifus interviews Angela Christiano, a researcher who began studying hair loss after a hairdresser discovered a bald spot at the back of her head. She has since discovered several genes that contribute to alopecia areata, a fairly common condition that causes hair loss, either in discrete patches or all over the body.
Dozens of readers had questions about alopecia areata when it was featured earlier this year in an installment of the Patient Voices multimedia seriesand in Science Times, “A ‘Forest Fire of Hair Loss’ and Its Scars.” This week, Dr. Wilma F. Bergfeld, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic and an expert on hair disorders, joins the Consults blog to answer many of these questions. Dr. Bergfeld serves as director of the dermatopathology fellowship and professor of dermatology and pathology at the Cleveland Clinic Educational Foundation and is also an asssociate clinical professor in the department of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University. See her responses below.
Is Alopecia a Lifelong Condition?
Q.
When my daughter was 9 she was diagnosed with alopecia areata and eventually lost about 90 percent of the hair on her head. She tried many treatments, including steroids and other topical treatments, including daily application of men’s Rogaine, but none appeared to work. At age 13, she entered puberty and spontaneously began to grow her hair back, and now at age 17, she has more hair on her head than anyone I know.
I am wondering if there is a time after which she can have some assurance that she will not lose her hair again? If she goes, say, five years with no signs of bald patches, is there a greater chance that she will not lose her hair again? Are there any warning signs, other than the appearance of a bald patch, that she may be about to lose her hair ?
cf, New YorkA.Dr. Bergfeld responds:
Alopecia areata is a lifelong disorder. Most individuals have patches of hair loss that come and go with triggers: stress, metabolic or endocrine disorders, and even nutritional deficiencies. Alopecia totalis, which involves loss of all the hair on the scalp, accounts for about 20 percent of all cases of alopecia areata. Once alopecia totalis occurs, there is a heightened tendency for it to recur. It is prudent to treat even patchy alopecia areata in these types of patients.

Are you worried about a receding hairline or bald patches? Do you feel your hair is becoming thinner or grayer? When people notice their hair is changing, this can be a blow to their confidence. Our hair is often a part of our identity, so we might go to great lengths to preserve it.
This natural home remedy might not sound that appealing, but it has been a successful treatment for hair loss for decades. Onion and onion juice can help you re-grow your hair. Read on to find out how and why it works.
How Onion Helps in Hair Growth?
Onion is rich in sulfur. This mineral is one of the main building blocks of hair. It improves blood circulation and provides the hair follicles with sufficient nourishment. Onion also has anti-bacterial properties, so it helps with scalp infections that might contribute to hair loss. Furthermore, it contains the enzyme catalase, which is an anti-oxidant that can prevent premature graying (I also wrote an article about the top natural supplements for treating premature gray hair) .
Onion’s potential as a potent home remedy for hair loss has also been studied scientifically. In 2002, the Journal of Dermatology published a small study that looked into the use of onion juice for alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease that presents with patchy hair loss). Participants who applied onion juice twice daily for two months experienced much better hair re-growth rates compared to those who only used tap water. Men had better success with the treatment than did women.

In the search for hair loss causes and male pattern baldness, researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have identified a protein known as Prostaglandin D2, which would be the cause of hair loss and male pattern baldness.
Examining hair loss causes of men bald areas of male pattern baldness and comparing hair populated areas of non-balding men, researchers found the presence of abnormal amounts of protein Prostaglandin D2 and corroborated these findings in mouse models. Prostaglandin D2 levels were up to 3 times higher in men with male pattern baldness.
Hair loss causes and Prostaglandin D2
When they added more amount of Prostaglandin D2 protein to hair follicles, these were reduced in size significantly. New causes of hair loss?
The researchers found that in both humans and animals, Prostaglandin D2 protein inhibited hair growth male pattern baldness, the most common cause for hair loss in men. This discovery could lead to the creation and implementation of new treatments for hair loss and eventually to the solution of a problem that affects hundreds of millions of men worldwide. As known male pattern baldness affects 8 in 10 men over 70 years.
The hair growth inhibition occurs through a receptor called GPR44 and answers are sought to overcome this deficiency biological. This information appeared in March of this year in ScienceDaily and originally the study was published in Science Translational Medicine
Hair loss Causes, Role of Prostaglandins
It is well known the role of prostaglandins in many bodily functions, for example controlling the expansion of muscle tissue and cell growth and particularly prostaglandin F2 alpha, speed and stimulates hair growth
The dr. George Cotsarelis, a professor of dermatology, and lead author of the study, said that when looking at the hair follicle stem cells, found this unexpected discovery that had not been previously associated prostaglandins to hair loss, although it was known that certain prostaglandins , F2 alpha specifically stimulated hair growth.
The research team of Dr. Cotsarelis, was composed of the doctors Luis Garza, Yaping Liu, Yang Zaixin, Brinda Alagesan, Scott Norberg, Tailun Zhao, Hanz Blatt, David Stanton and Lee Carrasco
Hair Loss Causes-Studies
Additional studies are needed to certify the validity of these findings as new hair loss causes and to discover new treatments for hair loss through topical applications benefit men and women suffering from hair loss and baldness.

Hair Loss: A Common Problem
About 85% of men will have significant hair thinning by the time they're 50, according to the American Hair Loss Association. Some men begin to lose their hair before they even turn 21.
Uncovering Hair Loss Myths
Does wearing a baseball cap cause baldness? Nope. Someone running their fingers through your hair won't cause it either. Neither will combing, brushing, twisting, or styling. But avoid being too rough to prevent hair breakage
Quit Smoking and Save Your Hair?
Several studies show a significant relationship between smoking and how fast male-pattern baldness gets worse. So if you need one more reason to quit smoking, add early hair loss to your list.
What Hair Loss Says About Your Health
Fortunately, in most cases, hair loss -- known as alopecia -- doesn't signal a medical problem. And it poses no health risk. But it's common to worry about how hair loss affects first impressions or whether balding makes you look older.
What Causes Hair Loss?
More than 95% of male hair loss is due to male-pattern baldness, a genetic trait. The gene can come from either parent. In other cases, certain medications, having too much vitamin A, or not getting enough protein can cause hair to fall out. Dramatic shedding of hair known as telogen effluvium can be caused by illness or stress. In men, hair loss not due to male-pattern baldness often reverses itself.
Work to Keep the Hair You Have
Preventing hair loss is easier than replacing it once it's gone. If you want to find something that will work for you, do your homework. But be careful. Most miracle products and treatments are shams. When in doubt, your doctor or a dermatologist can help.
Hair Loss Medication: Minoxidil
Although there's no way to cure male-pattern baldness, you can slow it down with some medications. Minoxidil is an FDA-approved over-the-counter medication you apply to your scalp. It slows the rate of hair loss in men, and some men even grow new hair. But once you stop using it, hair loss returns.
Male-Pattern Baldness: What to Expect
A tell-tale sign of male-pattern baldness is a receding, M-shaped hairline. Next, the hair on top of your head also starts to thin, leaving a bald spot. Eventually, the two meet, leaving a horseshoe pattern of hair around the sides. The Norwood Scale, seen here, is used to rate male-pattern baldness.
Male-Pattern Baldness: Blame Hormones
With male-pattern baldness, a hormone called DHT causes hair follicles to shrink. Eventually, the follicles shrink so much that no hair can grow in them.
Hair Loss Medication: Finasteride
Taken as a prescription pill, finasteride slows hair loss by slowing down the body's production of DHT. Some men have been able to grow new hair while using it. In general, it's considered to work better than minoxidil. Pregnant women should not handle the drug since it can cause birth defects in male fetuses. Like minoxidil, it works only as long as it's used.
Should You Wear a Hairpiece?
Hairpieces have come a long way in how they look. Finding the right one, though, takes time and study. There's a wide range in cost and quality. And hairpieces require regular maintenance which can run between $60 and $300 per month. When shopping, look to match your own hair color, thickness, and curl.
What Happens With a Hair Transplant
A doctor will move healthy hair from the back and side of your head to the top to restore a natural look. Hair transplants can be costly and you may have to have several procedures. After two months, most of the transplanted hair is shed, but new hair grows back. Within six months the hair starts to look normal.
Make the Most of the Hair You Have
There are some styling tricks you can use to make your hair loss less noticeable. Cutting thinning hair short lets you avoid obvious comb-overs. Hair care and styling products may add volume to your hair. Eating a balanced diet and handling your hair gently will also help.
Accentuate the Positive
Hair does not make the man. Remind yourself of all you have to offer others. Or take care of things you can control, such as staying in shape. It's OK to look to others for support. If you need a boost, think of bald men (or those who shaved their heads) like Ed Harris, Patrick Stewart, and Michael Jordan, who ooze confidence. Then consider yourself in good company.

What is male hair loss (male pattern baldness/androgenic alopecia)?
Male hair loss is the most common type of hair loss.
It's caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones (androgens) in certain parts of the scalp, and is passed on from generation to generation.
In the past, baldness was often seen as something unfortunate or undesirable.
However, this attitude has changed over the years and nowadays a clean-shaven head is usually considered both fashionable and attractive.
What causes male hair loss?
Some men have areas on the scalp that are very sensitive to the male sex hormones that circulate in men's blood.
The hormones make the hair follicles – from which hair grows – shrink. Eventually, they become so small that they cannot replace lost hairs. The follicles are still alive, but are no longer able to perform their task.
The condition usually starts in men aged 20 to 30 and follows a typical pattern.
First, a receding hairline develops, and gradually the hair on top of the head also begins to thin.
Eventually, the two balding areas meet to form a typical U-shape around the back and sides of the head. The hair that remains is often finer and does not grow as quickly as it used to.
Can male hair loss be prevented?
Male hair loss is genetically determined (passed on from parents). Although a doctor can offer medical treatment to improve the condition, this may have side-effects.
What can be done at home?
You need to decide how you feel about hair loss. Male hair loss affects a large part of the male population and people react very differently to it.
It is important to try to accept hair loss for what it is – something natural.
Rather than trying to camouflage bald spots with remaining hair or a wig, it is probably a better idea to leave your hair as it is, or shave it off completely.
If, however, you decide to try to regain your hair, possible medical treatments are discussed below.
How is male hair loss treated?
Baldness is generally regarded as natural, and not a disease.
So if a person decides they wish to try to get their hair back, they will probably have to pay for the lengthy, expensive procedure themselves.
Treatment with medication
- Minoxidil lotion (Regaine regular strength or Regaine extra strength) is applied twice daily to the scalp. Minoxidil was originally invented as a treatment for high blood pressure; the hair growth is a side effect that, in this case, has proved useful. It is not available on NHS prescription, but can be
purchased over-the-counter. About 60 per cent of patients benefit from it to varying degrees and
its effects start to wear off as soon as it is stopped.
- Finasteride (Propecia) is a medicine taken in tablet form that partially blocks the effects of the male hormones (an 'anti-androgen'). It is used in a higher dose to reduce the size of the prostate gland in men with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Propecia has been shown to halt further hair loss and promote re-growth of scalp hair in approximately 80 per cent of patients after three to six months. Treatment must be continued to sustain the improvement in hair growth. It is only available on private prescription and a months supply costs around £45.
Plastic surgery
Plastic surgery may be the only reliable way to replace lost hair, and techniques for restoring hair growth are constantly improving. These include:
- a transplant, where the surgeon moves non-sensitive hairs from the back of the head to the top. This is best for men whose hair loss is limited to the front of the scalp. Factors that determine whether a person is a suitable candidate include age, hair colour, the nature of hair loss, and whether the hair type is straight or curly/
- scalp reduction, a technique that is most suitable for men with a small, well-defined bald spot on the top of the head/
- flap-surgery, which involves making the part of the scalp that still contains hair larger. This is a possibility in cases of hair loss over a small area.
