No offense, but DUH!!! Of course we significantly alter our lifestyle due to thinning hair. Does it take a rocket scientist to figure that out? I used to use products that spent hours to perfect each day! Here are some of the things I tried:

http://www.hairdirect.com/store/Jerome-Russel-Dark-Brown.aspx  - plan on buying dark pillowcases and avoiding rain showers or you will find it dripping down your face at the most inopportune times. Works in a pinch, but not a long term solution to hairloss.

http://www.hairdirect.com/store/Xfusion-Hairfibers-Mediumbrown.aspx - Forget about wearing white shirts or sweaters - you have brown "dandruff" everywhere and with every headscratch you MUST clean your fingernails...ewww. Again, a short term emergency fix, but I don't recommend for long term satisfaction.

http://www.hairdirect.com/store/At-Ease-Touchup-Brown-1-4Oz.aspx - Ok, ok, you caught me, I still use this if I don't have time to color my age revealing grandma colored (Yes, gray...) roots. It's great to brush on to cover your aged roots, but heck, I used entire tubes to try to cover my thin hair and it's like putting mascara all over your head. BLECH...talk about sticky hair!

Now? I don't take hours to cover up anymore. Once a week, I have a routine that takes from 30 minutes to an hour. Ever other day during that week it takes me 3-5 minutes to check my hairline and retouch if necessary. Compared to the 2 hours a day I used to spend making my hair presentable  - 1 hour a week is just a gift.

This is how I started:

Get off the "coverup train" and put some new hair on! You can have whatever style you want without worrying about it sliding down your face every minute. There aren't enough words to describe the benefits it has brought into my life...woot woot...my "coverup train" has parked for good!
