A man with a receding hairline.
Dealing with thinning hair in the front can be a challenge for both men and women, although the condition has different causes, usually depending on the gender of the sufferer. If hair thinning is caused by an underlying medical condition, such as hormonal imbalances in women, the medical problem can be treated. Creative styling, including choosing a hairstyle you like and using the right hair products, can also help deal with thinning hair in the front. In some cases, people with thinning hair wear wigs or wigs.

Thinning hair on the front of women can be the result of hormonal imbalances and medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome. In addition to thinning hair in the front, PCOS can cause infertility, weight gain, and oily skin. Hormone replacement therapy can help relieve symptoms and improve the appearance of thinning hair.
Hair styles can hide, or reveal, a receding hairline.
Being creative when styling your hair can hide thinning hair in the front. For example, women who wear bangs can make their hair appear fuller at the hairline and reduce the appearance of fine hair. Using a side parting can also add fullness to the front of the hairline, where a center or middle parting can further accentuate the hairline. Layers can also enhance the appearance of thinning hair in the front, because different lengths of hair add body and texture. In addition, the layers increase the height of the hairline and the crown, decreasing the thickness of the scalp.
Hair thinning can be caused by genetic factors, medical conditions, and hormonal imbalances.
Hair systems can also help improve the appearance of fine hair in the front. These systems are suitable for both men and women and are non-invasive procedures that use natural or synthetic hair that is bonded to existing hair. Men can also opt for a wig or pompadour, however a good quality wig is essential for a realistic looking hairline. In many cases, a receding or tapering hairline looks better than a fake or unnatural looking wig. An experienced hair technician can provide the individual with hair system and wig options.
Curling products designed to add volume and texture to hair can help fine hair look thick and full. The products are made for men and women and are available in different concentrations that can add a lot or a little volume. Men may opt for a cut close to the scalp when it comes to a very fine hairline. A close cut looks clean and neat and reduces hair thinning at the crown or in the front. Male pattern baldness can also cause hair to become thinner and is usually more noticeable on the crown of the head.
Medications can also help men and women grow hair and are often available without a prescription. Results take time and are very gradual, but hair growth generally occurs with continued use. Before using topical hair growth preparations, the doctor should be informed, as some of these products may not be appropriate for use when certain medical conditions exist.
