Q: How often should I cut my hair if it’s receding?

A: Every 3-4 weeks. Keeping the sides short is essential to maintain the illusion of thickness on top.

Q: Can I still use hairspray?

A: Yes, but choose a "lightweight" or "thickening" spray. Avoid heavy-hold sprays that make hair look stiff and thin.

Q: Does wearing a hat make it worse?

A: Generally, no—unless the hat is so tight it causes "traction alopecia." However, relying on a hat prevents you from embracing a style that actually boosts your confidence.
