I am 61. I started thinning in my mid-teens from a trauma that shocked my scalp. By mid-twenties, I was using the old trick of combing over a strip of hair grown extra long. It didn't work. Now, I'm extremely thin. For many years, I used a simple layered or single-length style that worked fine. (My barber uses a #6 attachment and buzzes the thick areas; the thin top is about 2" long uncut; it doesn't grow any longer.) Any style that tries to hide thinning hair will only call attention to it--they ALL look artificial. If you don't get a transplant, it's thin, period. Everybody sees it. Everybody knows it. Get a good, clean even haircut and go about your business. Being trim and in good athletic shape will do more for your image than any hair style there is.
