Men with long locks who want to maintain them may struggle to cover up the fact that their locks are thinning. But smart styling choices could make a difference. Backcombing shoulder-length haircuts provide effective coverage to conceal bald spots effectively and draw the eye away from any potential problems with balding spots in the crown area. A mustache or goatee may help draw attention away from these spots as well.
Pompadour
The pompadour is an iconic style with contemporary appeal. The pompadour’s most distinct feature is its height. Although this look can be achieved easily, achieving it requires additional styling products like pomade or hair mousse to get its perfect shape.
The classic pompadour requires thick hair that can hold its shape well; otherwise, it quickly falls out. Thinner locks may still be styled into a pomp but may need extra pomade or another technique to ensure its shape remains throughout the day.
A pompadour with a fade is an attractive look that suits men of any age, but is particularly appropriate for senior citizens as it adds height and emphasizes facial features. A tapered fade works especially well as it allows for a gradual transition between longer length on top and shorter hair at the sides and back of your head.
Gray
Gray stands for honesty and integrity – two attributes that make it an effective leader. Additionally, it takes things seriously with little tolerance for frivolousness or deception.
Many people dye their grays away with hair dye, but with the appropriate cut and color choices, you can wear your gray locks proudly! Demi or semi-permanent color is a great way to reduce grow-out; lighter hues help blend gray hair more naturally into its surroundings. Toning shampoos like Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo or Davines Alchemic Silver series also add vitality and shine for more vibrantly radiant gray locks.
While gray (with an “A”) is preferred in British English, American style guides and popular TV shows use it more often – such as Grey’s Anatomy and Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James, for instance.
Spiked Tresses
Spiked tresses, once popular among punk subculture in the 1970s, remain fashionable today but with more refined characteristics. Perfect for fine or medium hair types alike, spiked locks can be worn either pulled back into a ponytail or even pulled forward into an attractive bun for versatile wearability.
Liberty spikes, with their crown of front spikes, are more intricate than mohawk hairstyles. For optimal results, stylists suggest visualizing and then using a strong styling product to fashion out spikes into this look.
This plant, also known as Hooded Ladies’ Tresses (Spiranthes romanzoffiana), features one flower per hairy spike resembling the crown of a horned head, thus earning it its common name: Hooded Lady’s Tresses or Hoodflower. Like other members of its genus Spiranthes, it boasts narrow basal leaves with glandular-pubescent, upright flower stalks. It blooms during fall. It has six free or fused sepals or petals that form a hood over labellum (or petal modification) modifications curved downward to form its distinctive feature hood over labellum (or petal modification) modifications (or labellum (or petal modification). This flower grows quickly when planted directly into soil – hence its common moniker!
