Self-esteem is a struggle when you suffer from hair loss. Why not make 2017 the year of the new you? Here are tips to boost not only your image but your self-esteem by managing your hair loss.
Change Your Hair Routine
Thinner hair is difficult to style. You’ll need to adjust your hair care routine to account for these changes in hair texture. Here are adjustments you can make to your hair care to boost your self esteem:
Color your hair. Permanent hair color can add thickness and volume. The new color will also make you feel excited about your hair again.
Use volumizing products to revitalize your hair.
Adjust the way you style your hair. Avoid using heat and thermal instruments, like blow dryers, curling irons and flat irons. The heat can damage your already thinning hair.
Find a New Style
When you start to lose hair, you will need to adopt a whole new hairstyle. What worked for thicker, fuller hair isn’t going to work for thin hair. A style that’s flattering for your hair type will improve your image and self-confidence. Here are some hairstyles that can work for you:
Permanent waves give your hair much needed body and volume.
Part hair to one side for thicker looking hair.
Choose asymmetrical bobs, layers or texture to make hair look fuller.
Treat Hair Loss
The best way to improve the look of your hair is to treat your hair loss. The treatment will depend on the cause of your hair loss. For example, if your hair loss is due to trichotillomania, you should seek a counselor who can help you stop pulling your hair. Be sure to consult with a hair loss studio to find the best treatment options for your hair loss.
Change Your Attitude
The best and longest-lasting way to improve your self-esteem is by changing your attitude. This is especially important if the underlying cause of your hair loss isn’t treatable. Here are tips:
Shut down self-criticism. Counter every negative thought about you with a positive one.
Facing your fears head on. If you’re nervous about asking that cute coworker on a date, go ahead and ask. Facing your fears is a form of exposure therapy.
Spoil yourself. Go out and do things you enjoy. Pamper yourself by getting facials, doing your nails or putting on makeup. Buy yourself nice things. These are ways you can remind yourself that you’re worth it.
