7 Reasons Your Thinning Crown Looks Worse Than It Is
Bathroom lights, phone cameras and wet hair are making it look worse than it is.
Overhead light is the worst angle there is.
Bathroom, elevator and office lights shine straight down onto the crown and bounce off the scalp underneath.
Your phone sharpens everything.
Phone cameras sharpen and brighten detail. Every small gap between hairs shows up as a hole.
Wet hair clumps.
Straight out of the shower, hair groups into strands and opens gaps. Dry, styled hair lies flatter and covers more.
Very short cuts hide less.
The shorter the hair on top, the less of it lies across the gaps. A little length at the crown covers more scalp.
Contrast is the giveaway.
Pale scalp under dark hair is what the eye catches. The same number of hairs over a darker background reads much fuller.
You see it more than anyone else does.
You check it in two mirrors and with your phone held overhead. Most people only ever see the top of your head in passing.
Fill the gaps and it reads full.
Fibers in your shade cling to the hairs at your crown, so the scalp stops showing through. Thirty seconds, and it washes out tonight.
