Men with wavy or curly hair can use the side-swept style
Men with wavy or curly hair can use the side-swept style as an effective way of hiding receding hairlines with medium to firm-hold pomade. Simply brush the strands up and away from the sides for an unassuming, yet stylish look.
Bald Drop Fade
A bald drop fade is an effective way to add height and volume to your head, helping conceal any receding hairline. Pair it with an elegant spike for an eye-catching appearance.
Short Bangs
Short bangs that fall across your forehead can help deemphasize thinning hairlines while drawing attention away from them and to the center of your face, making this one of the best haircuts for receding hairlines. You could also ask your stylist to create shorter cuts around the tops of your eyes such as lived-in choppy pixie.
Authentic Natural Look
To achieve an authentic natural look, choose soft wavy or curly bangs with ample movement. Use a volumizing mousse to boost their natural texture before spraying on light hold hairspray for an ideal finish. Experiment with something a bit different by styling yourself with ultra-short baby bangs cropped directly across your forehead. Their wavy texture helps hide any thin areas while highlighting your brow line and drawing attention to your beautiful eyes.
Wavy or Curly Hair
If you have wavy or curly hair, there are various stylish haircuts that will help conceal a receding hairline. One such cut is this chic pixie cut featuring long side bangs tucked behind the ears; its angled fringe and tousled styling further add to its youthful yet fashionable aesthetic.
Maintaining Wavy or Curly Hair
Wavy or curly hair, also referred to as type 2, can range from beach waves to gentle “S” shapes, and its curls may be tight coils or loose and bouncy. Because curly locks tend to frizz more easily than straighter textures, make sure you use products designed to hydrate strands to help them remain manageable and prevent unnecessary frizzing.
Teased Pixie Cuts
While ponytails pull back the head and can accentuate receding hairlines, teased pixie cuts create an eye-catching volumized puff at the crown of your head that draws attention away from it and makes an elegant style statement for any special event.
Combover
Thinning hair can leave men feeling self-conscious about their appearance. Luckily, there are numerous grooming solutions that can make receding hairlines less of an issue and more of an aesthetic statement. Combovers can be an effective way to conceal receding hairlines. By covering any bald areas with shaggy locks, this style creates the appearance of fuller locks – it works especially well on short locks but can be applied to medium and long length hair as well.
Pompadour
With some creative styling, a pompadour can help conceal a receding hairline. This style works particularly well on clients with round face shapes as it adds height to their forehead and helps balance out their wide jawline. This particular pompadour features a low temple fade and high side taper to create a balanced look and cover any thinned hairlines. Additionally, its wavy top adds texture and deflects attention away from its widow’s peak.
Styling the Pompadour
This variation on the classic pompadour requires using medium-to-firm hold hair wax, which is then brushed back and slicked back with medium-to-firm hold for maximum volume. To conceal receding temples, its sides faded to skin before meeting at midpoint for full effect. This style works best on men with dense and full textures who naturally resist receding hairlines.
Side-Swept
One of the easiest and most effective ways to conceal receding hairlines is with side-swept bangs. Not only are they stylish, but their light wisps help frame your face and draw out your eyes – plus cover fine lines and wrinkles on your forehead! Try on Zoey Deschanel-inspired soft shag layers or face framing layers like this look for an incredible boost to your visage. Apply a small amount of mousse to your tangle-free locks and divide them into two equal sections, then comb one section towards the side before brushing it back away from your face for a chic yet messy style. Add a slight pouf at the top for added flair.
