How Can I Thicken My Side Hair to Blend with My Hairpiece Better?
I’ve worn hairpieces for years and have been generally satisfied with them. As I’ve aged (now in my 60’s) my side hair has also thinned considerably–but it’s still there and I wonder if anything can stimulate its growth? I don’t expect crown hair, of course, but thicker side hair would make wearing a hairpiece much easier and more natural, as there’d be a better base to “comb into”.
Any thoughts or suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Usually you cannot thicken or regrow hair on the sides unless you have a hair transplant to add the hairs to those areas. Sometimes minoxidil might work. These are generalizations though, and your case may or may not be amendable to either of these two approaches. You should speak with a hair transplant doctor to get a better idea of what your options are.
There are significant number of patients who do have hair transplants to augment their hair piece. Some have hair transplants to the frontal hairline so that at the start of the hairpiece it would look more natural.
