How to Hide a Receding Hairline

1. Keep it short

When your hairline starts receding, it’s a natural part of aging. There are solutions to conceal or work around receding hairlines. Hair growth treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia) can help with new growth and prevention of further loss. These treatments work best when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle. Consulting a trichologist or dermatologist is advisable for more advice on preventing or treating receding hairlines.

2. Try a crew cut

Receding hairlines can affect younger people too. Getting a crew cut can help cover up receding hairlines for a fuller-looking head. Shampoos that promote new hair growth, and contain natural oils and herbs, can also be beneficial. Minoxidil (Rogaine) can stimulate hair regrowth, but it’s recommended to consult a dermatologist for its use.

3. Try a side part

Excessive hair loss can lead to receding hairlines. Heat styling, overbrushing, hair coloring chemicals, tight haircuts, medications, and health conditions like dandruff can contribute to this. Over-the-counter remedies like minoxidil (Regaine and Keeps) and finasteride (Propecia) can help combat receding hairlines.

4. Try a fohawk

Fohawk haircuts, featuring growth on top and shaved sides, are fashionable for men with receding hairlines. This style makes the head appear thicker and covers any potential bald spots. Using hair products can add extra texture to complete the look. Maintaining good hair hygiene practices and using natural shampoos without hot styling tools can also help prevent receding hairlines. Ayurvedic herbs and carrier oils like gooseberry, ginseng, shikakai, aloe vera, peppermint, coconut, or olive oil may support healthier scalp hair.
