How to Cover Up Hair Loss
Using scalp makeup, hair fibers, strategic hairstyles and accessories can help camouflage hair loss or create the illusion of fullness.
Scalp Concealers
Use colored powders or creams to coat visible areas of the scalp and match your hair color.
Hair Thickening Fibers
These colored keratin fibers cling to hairs to add the appearance of density.
Styling Tricks
Wear hairstyles like headbands or messy buns that draw attention upward, away from thinning.
Headwear and Accessories
Scarves, hats, jeweled clips or headbands disguise bald spots or diffuse shedding.

Choosing the Right Scalp Concealer Products
Look for scalp concealers with these qualities:
Matches Your Hair Color
Choose a tinted powder or cream that seamlessly blends with your natural hair color.
Your Skin Type and Tone
Opt for oil-free options if you have oily skin or scalp.
SPF Protection
Powders or creams with SPF help protect the sensitive scalp.
Waterproof
Won't run or smudge off from sweat or moisture throughout the day.
Pro Tips for Applying Scalp Concealers
Here are some tips for getting the most natural look when applying scalp cosmetics:
Exfoliate First
Gently exfoliate to remove any flakes or excess oils.
Use a Bald Cap
For large areas, apply concealer on a latex cap then put it on your head.
Lightly Dab Powder
Use a makeup sponge to lightly dab powder onto visible scalp in thin layers.
Mist Between Layers
Lightly mist your hair and scalp between powder layers to blend it in.
Set it
Finish with a setting powder or spray to make it last all day.
Hairstyles and Accessories to Hide Thinning
You can also strategically disguise hair loss with these styles and accessories:
Headbands and Bandanas
These cover the hairline and draw attention upwards.
Hats and Caps
Baseball caps, fedoras and beanies perfectly hide thinning.
Scarves
Creative wrapping techniques conceal widespread shedding.
Messy Buns and Updos
pull back thinning hair loosely to create fullness on top.
Layered Cuts
Ask your stylist for layered locks to maximize fullness.
When to See a Dermatologist
While concealing cosmetics help temporarily, see a dermatologist if your hair loss persists so you can explore medical treatment options to stimulate regrowth.
