It’s common for men who experience balding to continue growing abundant facial hair for years to come.

A thin beard provides a touch of coolness and draws attention to the face, so it helps to minimize the appearance of a receding hairline or widow’s peak.

The Undercut with Lace Hair Systems

That means very little hair on the sides and back with little to no taper and much more length on the top. The result is sharp angles, clean lines, and massive volume. An undercut can be swept, slicked, and styled in various ways. One modern styling method is the pompadour, or “James Dean.”

Our Hollywood lace hair system is lightweight and comfortable for the scalp. It lets the wearer feel good about their undercut without worrying about discomfort or an unnatural hairline. The base is solid and strengthened by a PU perimeter around the edge.

One can just use some get to push the hair forward and texturize into spikes.

So it is a great option to choose for people who want their scalp to appear less visible!

Textured Crew Cut to Look Thicker

This is undoubtedly one of the most common haircuts among guys nowadays.

A textured crew cut diminishes the appearance of thinning hair as the shaved sides make the hair on top appear fuller.

Quiff with Taper Fade

When it comes to taper-fade haircuts, there are a number of style options to choose from.

A quiff is a great option for making clients look both younger and more distinguished.

This youthful cut and style can convince anyone there are no signs of hair thinning or receding to be seen.

High and Tight for Men with Thinning Hair

High and tight, like the buzz and crew cut, this is a military-inspired haircut.

Fades are popular among people of various ages and ethnic backgrounds.

Design a pattern to be cut into the sides and back to show off some extra artistry.

This look is extremely flattering on black men’s hair.

The Short Crop for Men with Thinning Hair

The hair is cut finger length on top and tapered shorter on the sides and back for this style.

This look can be enhanced by a short, clipped beard, but make sure your clients keep it neatly trimmed and shave the neck on a regular basis.

An unruly beard on an older man tends to make him look, well, older. 

Side Swept for Men with Thinning Hair

Cool and casual, the side-swept haircut has proven popular for many years.

The reason is that it’s really easy to style, and it’s great for any hair length.

The longer the hair is on top, the shorter it has to be at the sides, so bear this in mind when pitching it to your client.

This will make a receding hairline or widow’s peak appear less prominent.

Regulation Cut for Men with Thinning Hair

The regulation cut is actually a play on a famous army hairdo from World War II.

The hair on the sides is either tapered or totally shaved to achieve this style. The top of the hair is almost combed over, but it’s kept tighter.

The regulation cut, like many comb-over styles, incorporates the hairline into the style by making it a feature of the hair parting.

Short Caesar Cut for Men with Thinning Hair

In this cut, the hair is clipper-short on the back and sides and left finger length on top.

Medium-Textured Style for Men with Thinning Hair

This is a fantastic option for men who only have a little thinning on top.

The hair is cut short all over (approximately 3 finger-widths on top), with a subtle taper on the sides and back.

Apply a tiny quantity of putty to damp hair and evenly spread it throughout to style.

Make a mess of the top hair with your fingertips to give it a rough texture.

This will help you give the most coverage while also reducing the appearance of thinning.

Grown Out with a Beard

Another wonderful method is to slick back the top with a little product while keeping the ends and beard lived-in.

The use of a hairbrush is essential for ensuring that the hair stays put but doesn’t appear overly rigid.

Hairspray can be brushed out to keep it from seeming stiff while yet maintaining a style. 

Gently Spiked Forward Bangs for Men with Thinning Hair

Let’s talk about bangs.

Bangs are the perfect, edgy and stylish haircut for men with thinning hair because they draw the eyes away from thinning areas.

You can use them to cover balding patches on your clients and show them how to style properly. Opt for a short chop with the hair growing longer from back to front, allowing you to play around and gently spike it. 

Short and Spiky for Men with Thinning Hair

Don’t have much hair to work with but want to create a look that is cool and casual?

Otherwise, the hair may end up looking greasy, and even thinner than before.

This shortcut is timeless, and even with a receding hairline, it manages to be sophisticated.

The sides are substantially shorter than the top for this style, and you can throw in a short beard for even more character and added coolness.

Greased Backsweep for Men with Thinning Hair

Any hair with grease looks thin, which is why it’s surprisingly a great hairstyle choice for men with thinning hair.

Add grease to the hair and sweep it back drastically so that people will assume it’s thin because of the grease, not because they actually have thinning hair.

The lack of volume will essentially look like a style choice. Clever.

Undercut Faux Hawk for Men with Thinning Hair

For males with thin hair, the undercut faux hawk provides a beautiful disguise. Go for close clipping on the sides, and cut the top short with texture, blending the thinner portions of hair.

Long Slicked Back Curls for Men with Thinning Hair

Caesar with Bangs that Hides the Hairline

One of the best haircuts for men with a receding hairline is the textured Caesar haircut.

The fringe hides the hairline part, while textured styling thickens the hair and conceals thin patches. In contrast to the faded sides, the hair on top appears fuller.

Messy Side Quiff for Men with Receding Hairline

This style is really easy to create as it doesn’t need to be neat or tidy, the messier the better.

Use some hair putty and run your hands through the hair to mess it up and add volume. Then sweep it over to one side. The more volume you can create, the more dynamic it will look. 

Tousled for Men with Receding Hairline

For clients who hate styling their hair, good news.

The tousled look is essentially when you leave the hair ‘messy and unkempt’ on purpose.

In other words, you don’t style it at all. Groomed, brushed and combed hair can look thinner than messy and dishevelled hair.

This is because when you neaten it up, the hair will give the scalp less coverage, whereas scruffy hair is more voluminous and gives greater coverage. 

Combover Fade Haircut with Line

If your client likes the look of a beard but doesn’t want to go overboard, try a style that has been around for generations. With a thick beard and a clean-cut top that isn’t afraid to expose a little grey, this style is classic.

For clients who are more of an edgy type, go for this haircut that incorporates high spikes arching forward.

Shave the sides and gel the top for a hold that will last the entire day.

This haircut for men with receding hairlines is a unique style that’s also a lot of fun to wear!

Sides Go Bare

Shave the sides totally off, leaving a fashionable tuft of hair up top, for an amazingly easy-to-maintain haircut for men.

No one will notice they’re losing their hair, and if being too exposed is a concern, facial hair can help to balance things out.

Tapered Sides and Long Top

The key to this look is to use clippers on the side to achieve a tapered fade, and then use a blow dryer to create dimension and volume on the top. Hair gel and oils should be avoided because they will clump the hair together and make it appear much thinner.

High Skin Fade

The high skin fade is a low-maintenance style that will allow your clients to go longer between haircuts. Remember this key trick: the higher the fade, the less noticeable the receding hairline is. 

Slicked over Side Part

One of the most accommodating haircuts for men with receding hairlines is a side parting with a taper fade. Because of the asymmetry and shorter length of the temples, you can entirely reinvent the hairline, creating curves and angles that are functional and cool. 

High Fade with Facial Hair

With a high fade, there will be less hair on the sides of the head, so keep the hair on top somewhat longer to balance the look. Add some well-groomed facial hair to the mix and you can create a striking hairstyle that’s great for a receding hairline.

Taper with Rounded Line-up

This cut, like the razor fade, tapers the hair until it almost disappears into the skin.

By inserting additional curves around the ear and sideburns, you can balance out the natural curve of their recession. The shadow beard is a wonderful addition that matches this cut perfectly.

Tapered Faux Hawk for Men with Receding Hairline

Hairstyles for a receding hairline aren’t just for older men. With some men noticing hair loss as early on as their twenties, there need to be styles that are appropriate for younger men. One option that screams youth is the faux hawk and matched with a tapered cut on the sides of the head this edgy style is kept from feeling too dramatic.

Preppy Quiff Haircut for Men with Receding Hairline

The quiff is a unique mix of the pompadour, mohawk, and flattop hairstyles.

This hairstyle does take some time to create because you’ll need to blow-dry the hair up and away from the face, as well as apply product while it’s still wet and after it’s dried.

Practice makes perfect for this look and once you mastered it, it’ll be so worth it for this oldie but goldie.

Shaved Side Comb Back for Men with Receding Hairline

For clients who need a haircut for their receding hairline but can’t decide between short and long hair, don’t give in to the mullet. Leave the top portion long and buzz the sides. To create a modern, slicked-back look, blow dry away from the face, and secure with gel.
