Hairstyles for Men with Receding Hairlines

Many men have to deal with a receding hairline and while the prospect of choosing a hairstyle in such a situation is hardly something to look forward to, yet it has to be done. Trying to cover a receding hairline with a toupee or cap might work at times, but that is hardly practical in so much as daily wear goes. The first step in choosing a hairstyle for receding hairline is to acknowledge that your hairline is indeed receding. Many men choose to live in denial about this and try to sport hairstyles that do not suit their current hair situation. One of the worst things that a man with receding hairline can do is to try to cover the thinning spot by combing over longer tufts of hair from the sides. This idea seldom works and people notice a receding hairline more. There is no doubt that the number of hairstyles for men with receding hairstyles is quite less, but still there are hairstyles that can make a men look ruggedly handsome without drawing attention to the hair loss. Given below are some of the best hairstyles for men with receding hairlines.

Best Hairstyles for Men with Receding Hairlines

There is no denying the fact that there are limited hairstyle options for men with receding hairlines, but there are some hairstyles that are just right for a receding hairline. You need to understand that a hairstyle is not supposed to camouflage a receding hairstyle, but rather work around it and still make a person look manly and handsome.

The Buzz Haircut
One of the best hairstyle for men who have a receding hairline is the buzz cut. It is also called the induction haircut. For a man with a receding hairline, it is best to get a classic buzz cut where the hair is cut with a clipper by removing the comb guard. The hair on the sides and the top should be cut the same length all over without going short where the scalp is visible. It is a very low maintenance haircut and no styling products are necessary to set this style.

The Caesar Haircut
Another good hairstyle for men with thinning hair is the Caesar haircut. In this haircut the hair on the crown is layered to around a length of 1 � - 2 inches. The hair at the front is cut into bangs that are short and even all around. The short bangs are then combed forward to fall over the forehead. To style this kind of haircut, a bit of styling gel should be applied while the hair is still damp and then hair at the front should be combed forward. Too much styling products can give the hairstyle a very stiff and artificial look, so care should be taken not to overdo the styling gel.


Super Short Hairstyle
A super short hairstyle looks sexy and sophisticated and is very flattering on men who have a receding hairline. A super short haircut that is suitable for men with receding hairline is one where the hair at the front is cut very short with the rest of the hair cut close to the scalp. This style is masculine and rugged and looks good on men who have a defined jawline. To style this kind of hair, a little bit of styling mousse worked on the front of the hair gives the style a polished appearance.

The Fade Haircut
Another popular choice of hairstyle for men with receding hairline is the fade haircut. In this haircut, hair at the sides are cut very close to the head and hair at the front and back are left a longer but are still short. This type of haircut would be suitable for those men who are beginning to lose hair from the temples. To style such a haircut, applying a smidgen of pomade to the front of hair is sufficient.

These were some hairstyles for men with receding hairlines. With the help of a good stylist, it is possible to find a right hairstyle for men with receding hair that looks flattering and modern.
