Best haircuts for men with receding hairlines (asking for a friend)
A receding hairline is an exceedingly common condition for men so chances are you, or someone you know is experiencing it. For some it’s a familial rite of passage, for others it’s downright distressing. However, no matter where you fall between, take heart. Because when it comes to haircuts for men in Kitsilano, there are several options available to keep you looking confident and stylish.
Fortunately there are multiple ways to style for a receding hairline, from covering it up, to laying it all out in the open. Some cuts will hide or disguise the loss of hair. Other cuts will put the focus to another area. And other cuts completely lean into it. Hair that is receding yet still maintaining its density or thickness can be styled using longer cuts. Longer cuts tend to hide the temple area, and the extra length lends itself to a more youthful look. Let’s take a look.
The Comb-over. Everyone is familiar with this one–it’s a classic. It has the advantage of covering up the receding areas plus adds volume on top. The side-part looks good on everyone, and the style is suitable for all lengths, types and textures of hair.
Or, comb it all forward. This is another excellent way to hide the temple area. Incorporate a taper or fade to the sides and back to add polish and framing.
For those men who don’t feel the need to cover it, work with it. Comb it all back, ala Jon Voight or Pierce Brosnan. Keep this style on the shorter side for an easy, handsome look.
The Crew Cut and the Ivy League are both shorter, classically masculine styles that are very popular. Both work well with receding hairlines as well as suit a wide variety of hair types.
Shorter still is the buzz cut, or military cut. This is the best cut for thinning hair. Taper the sides to add structure and draw attention to the face instead of the hairline.
There isn’t a cut that will make a receding hairline go away. But the right cut will make you feel more comfortable and confident. Ask your stylist what would best suit you, your hair, and your lifestyle.
