Generally speaking, the number one rule of dealing with thinning hair is to not let it get too long. This applies to men with both straight and curly hair, and anything in between. Close-cropped cuts will give your hair a more uniform appearance and make inconsistencies in fullness less noticeable.   For most hairstyles, a length of about an inch or less will work best for minimizing the appearance of thin patches. Trying to compensate for hair loss by leaving hair longer in certain areas usually just highlights the thin spots. Smooth your hair in one direction so that it lays over spots with the most thinning. This technique will be especially useful if most of the thinning is concentrated around the crown. Combover styles are versatile because they allow you to slick your hair back, part it to one side or brush it down for a more tousled look.  Comb overs can be done on both long and short hair. A combover won’t always be able to hide everything. If bare patches are still peeking through, it may be worth it to give a more subtle style a shot. Work a little low-hold product into your hair, then comb or tease it with your fingers until it comes to a subtle point over the crown. By drawing the hair inward toward the center, you can conceal bald spots and create the illusion of height and thickness. Just use a comb to coax the hair upward before sweeping it over.  Piled-up styles will look best with cuts that preserve a little length on top while keeping the hair short on the back and sides. Gathering the hair in the middle will be especially useful for men with fine, straight hair, which tends to have a harder time providing coverage over the scalp.  Use a temporary colored-hairspray that matches your natural color to style your hair. The color in the hairspray can help fill in thin spots so they look fuller. If the thinning is already fairly advanced, or if you’ve begun balding all over, the best solution may be to just take a trimmer to what’s left. A buzzcut will help make bare patches less obvious by bringing the hair closer to the scalp all over. Less hair means less cutting, grooming and styling to deal with.  Buzz thinning hair down to a quarter inch or shorter, or go all the way and shave all the way down to the skin.  Many men prefer the freedom and ease of upkeep that shaved hairstyles offer. If you shave your hair off and you don't like the way it looks, you can always wear a hat until your hair grows out.

summary: Keep it short. Go with a combover. Style it up for added height. Shave it off.

Getting a drastic haircut is the quickest way to look completely different. If you want to disguise yourself, though, you're going to want to pick something that won't draw attention--a blue mohawk or a pink costume wig probably aren't the best choices.  Men can style their hair differently by using products like hair spray or gel to create a more elaborate "do" than usual, or could shave their head completely. Also consider a dye-job, or using cheap talcum powder to make some gray streaks that will really throw people. If you have facial hair, shave it into a different shape or get rid of it completely. If you don't have any, consider growing a beard or a sneaky mustache. Women can consider getting a realistic-looking wig or extensions to change the basic shape of their hair. You can also quickly go back to your "old" style that way, if you want to for further disguises. Keep them guessing by changing frequently and without warning. Dye your hair a different color each week and ensure that you'll never be noticed. Try combinations of highlight patterns and full dye jobs. It worked for Clark Kent. By adding some frames to your wardrobe, you'll pass the "glance test." People will recognize you when they look closely, sure, but you'll be able to get past their initial screen. By adding glasses or sunglasses, you'll round out a disguise. If you have contacts, consider trying color-change contacts, or digging out those old frames you no longer wear. For a dramatic effect, paint moles, beauty marks, wrinkles or other imperfections on your face. Lighten or darken your skin to further confuse people. Get a spray-on tan or a conspicuous fake tattoo. If you're a guy, or even if you just don't normally wear make-up, a little can go a long way in changing your appearance. Just adding some eyeliner and changing your clothes can give you a whole different aura. Try changing your height with heeled shoes, or by slouching more and carrying yourself differently than usual. Consider losing or gaining weight, if you have the time to do so, or simply begin dressing as if you had. Pad your clothes with extra layers to look as if you've put on a few pounds.
summary: Change your hair. Wear glasses and sunglasses. Make friends with make-up. Change your size and posture.
