You're Not "Just A Hat Guy." 7 Things Nobody Tells Men About Thinning Hair

1. It was never "a hat thing." It's one list.

Put them side by side.

The hats. The haircut that gets a little shorter every year. The booth, the wall, the last row. Looking straight up when someone takes a photo from above.

Each one makes sense by itself. That's why you've never added them up.

Add them up.

It's one job, done ten different ways: nobody sees the top of your head.

2. Everyone behind you already knows

Your barber has seen it every month for years.

Your wife sees it every night, between the bathroom and the pillow.

So does the guy behind you on the escalator. And whoever took that photo from the stairs.

Nobody says anything. People are kind that way.

So you're not hiding it from them. They know.

The only person you're still hiding it from is you.

3. You don't know what it looks like anymore. Check. It takes one minute.

Be honest. When did you last look? Really look?

For a lot of men, the answer is years. They saw it once, in a bad photo, and never checked again.

So check. Bathroom light on. A hand mirror. Your phone flashlight.

Look at the top. Look at the corners in front.

A lot of men expect a bald spot. What they find is hair that got finer. It's all still there. It just covers less.

Not gone. Thinner. That's a different thing. And it changes what you do next.

(If the skin is smooth and has had no hair for years, keep reading. Number 6 is for you.)

4. Everything you do goes over it. Nothing goes on it.

A hat goes over it.

A shorter haircut goes around it.

A wall goes behind it.

Dark sprays and fibers sit on top of it until the next wash.

And shampoo? It's down the drain in a minute.

So ask yourself one thing. In all these years, what have you put on that skin and left there?

Nothing.

Years of covering it. Zero days of taking care of it.

That part isn't on you. Nobody tells men there's anything to do but hide it.

5. There's a roll-on made to go right on it

This is where we come in. We're Lingo, and we make the Hair & Beard Roll-On.

It's a small white tube with a blue label. It looks like a pen. On the tip, there's a little ball.

Inside, there's a light serum with rosemary oil, caffeine, biotin and a peptide.

You part your hair. You roll the ball on the skin, right where it's thin. Hairline. Temples. The top. And you leave it on.

It's a leave-on cosmetic. Its job: care for the hair and the scalp where it's thin, and help your hair look thicker and fuller.

And it's not an oil. Oil makes thin hair stick together, and then you see more scalp, not less. This sinks in.

6. What it can do, and what it can't

You've seen the ads. A 60-year-old with the hair of a college kid. We're not going to insult you.

This is a cosmetic. It is not a drug, and it does not create new follicles.

Where you still have hair that has gotten fine and thin, a thicker, fuller look is realistic.

Where the skin is smooth and has had no hair for years, no cosmetic changes that. We won't say it does.

And hair is slow. Think in weeks, not days. Results vary, and some men won't see a change.

So take a photo on day one. From above, under the worst light in the house. Then judge it with your own eyes.

7. It takes 30 seconds. And you can keep the hat.

1 · ROLL.

On a clean, dry scalp, part the hair so the ball touches the skin. Roll it where it's thin.

2 · MASSAGE.

Rub it in with your fingertips for a few seconds, until it sinks in.

3 · REPEAT.

Morning and night. Leave it on. No rinsing.

It's light and it isn't greasy. Your hat still fits over it.

So keep the hat, if you like it. Just stop asking it to do a job it can't do.
