Receding long hair can look fantastic with regular trimming and styling to maximize scalp coverage. A high fade will also help your hairline blend seamlessly and open more styling possibilities.
A fringe can help cover up any thinned areas around your temples and works well with straight and curly hair textures. Plus, this look pairs beautifully with beards and can be styled multiple ways!
Quiff
The quiff is an adaptable style that works well across hairstyles to add rock ‘n’ roll flair or enhance a polished haircut’s finish. Plus, it works for different face shapes and types.
A popular way to wear the quiff is slicking back the top using medium-hold hairspray, creating a clean, sleek, and tidy style that works beautifully with fades or taper haircuts.
Fringe
A fringe is a row of hair that hangs down from your forehead. It can be styled in various ways, from quiffing it back to creating volume with bouffants, and is used to conceal any signs of hairline thinning and add volume to your head.
Fringes are ideal for anyone with receding hairlines but should be checked regularly by their barber to remain healthy and stylish.
Side-Sweep Undercut
The side-swept undercut is an ideal men’s haircut for those looking to keep some length in their locks while simultaneously emphasizing facial features. Additionally, this haircut allows those looking for something shorter, such as keeping a beard or five o’clock shadow neat at all times.
Your barber can achieve this style by shaving your sides closely or scissor-fading for a taper fade effect, leaving longer locks at the crown for an aesthetic that accentuates a bad-boy appearance.
Slick Back
A classic look, the slick back can look good on nearly all hair lengths with proper styling product application and proper backcombing. Depending on its purpose, this hairstyle may have lots of shine or provide a matte finish, creating both festive and businesslike styles simultaneously.
Start with clean and dry hair – preferably towel-dried – so the style holds. Wet locks won’t have as well and can become oily over time.
Choose a pomade or wax for optimal results, both water-based products that will create a sleek appearance while offering decent hold and natural sheen. Use either your fingers or comb to apply it.
Try clay instead of pomade or wax; its drier formula provides more texture for messy or modern variations on the classic slick back look. To add a stylish touch, create a hard part; this feature adds structure while giving off an old-timey gentleman look to any modern or slick back style.
