I have had problems with thinning hair for years, never found much that helps. Just this weekend on seeing a picture of the back of my head i gave noticed quite a prominent bald spot. My confidence has taken a hit from this and I don't know what to do about it. I am experimenting with wearing ny oadting on the opposite side to try and cover it but I gave no idea if it has worked or if I have another bald spot on the other side. How can I hide it or what has worked for others with thinning hair?

I was going to say colour wow! Does help to disguise it.

Use a little topper, I don’t have any bald spots, my hair is fine, but I often use this, it gives me an extra layer of hair and is completely indistinguishable, I put it about an inch and a half back on my head, and then use my own hair to cover the edge of it, but it lies very flat, and makes me look like I’ve really thick hair.

thoroughly recommend.
