Men with curly hair often struggle with thinner strands, so using appropriate styling products is critical to keeping their locks full and healthy.
High and Tight Haircut
A high and tight haircut is an effective solution for thin hair, as it creates the illusion of fuller locks. Pair it with a fade for a more significant impact when masking receding hairlines.
Curly Tapered Cut
Curly tapered cuts can be an attractive solution for thin natural hair. They create a dynamic piece-y style that highlights texture while adding volume and provides stylish options suitable for various facial structures. The tapered haircut can be customized to your personal preferences. From sleek comb-overs to more textured styles, this style makes an effortless statement about who you are while providing an eye-catching shape for your face.
Curly Fade
Men with thin, wavy hair starting to lose volume can benefit from a throwback fade haircut, as its gradual fading effect adds texture and conceals any areas with lower density for increased fullness. A low taper fade with line up makes your short curly afro look sleek and masculine. Keep your coils moisturized with a product to avoid flyaways or cowlicks from emerging. A high fade with curly hair creates an eye-catching style that draws attention to your longer, textured afro. This style also works well when combined with beards,, drawing attention to facial features.
Spiky Look
Spiky hair works wonderfully on those with thin strands, as its dynamic texture helps add volume to the mane. Pairing this style with either a fade or taper creates an organic balance to achieve maximum effect. For an effortless, spiky style, start with damp hair. Start by applying your chosen styling product (clay pomades and matte pastes are ideal), working each strand individually until it forms into spikes using your fingertips. Be sure to set this look with strong-hold hairspray so it doesn’t slip!
Undercut
A soft side part and full taper create a sophisticated and fashionable look. Ideal for thin, curly locks, this style pairs beautifully with beards. An eye-catching, quiffed style adds volume and stands out. To achieve it, use a curl-enhancing gel. A fade is an ideal style to help thicker areas stand out in thin hair, while the comb-over is an effortless style suitable for any haircut.
Long Slick Back
Though subtle, long, slick back styles can effectively conceal thinning hair. This style utilizes a comb-over with fades on the sides, adding height while remaining chic and elegant. An updated slick back can become even more stylish with a skin fade. While this style works with most lengths, medium-length haircuts are particularly suitable. Texturizing with paste can help your thin locks appear thicker.
Side Swept
The short-side swept haircut is ideal for men looking to add volume to thin hair. Using specific products, curly texture hair can appear full and thick when slicked back with pomade or wax. The style looks fantastic when worn with a well-grown beard; it helps conceal thin spots while creating an intimidating masculine finish. A taper fade can also add contrast.
Buzz Cut
Men who prefer keeping their hair short can opt for the number 3 buzz cut and style it into either an “M” shape or a wide “U.” This cut looks great no matter the face shape and can even accentuate receding hairlines by adding some personal flair to the look. This short, buzz haircut with a fade offers a modern and sophisticated aesthetic. To add texture, use a defining paste or wax. When selecting products for this style, the key is choosing products without too heavy an effect on the hair.
Short Scuff
Men with thin hair often avoid slicked-back styles, but this hipster look effectively disguises their thinning thatch. A fade or undercut draws attention to the front of your head and creates the impression of a fuller mane. Men with thin hair may benefit from styling their scruff with a tapered cut for an aesthetic and easy maintenance option. This look embodies ruggedness while remaining stylishly easy.
