Makeover: Hairstyle & Styling for thinning & Balding hair
The combover is the easiest style to achieve among the haircuts for balding men. It is also versatile enough to come in a wide range of styles and lengths. Here's an illustration of how to style a shorter look. The sides are faded, while the top portion is shaved for a clean look and then swept to one side. This fills in the receding hairline, while the facial hair complements the look by balancing the cut.
A universal recommendation to remember is: the shorter, the better. “If you have a receding hairline, you'll want to do one of three things: cover it up, embrace it, or cut it off completely,” explains one professional hairstylist. Indeed, shorter hairstyles look much better than longer ones on thin strands, as they add much-needed volume and definition while keeping the focus away from a receding hairline or bald spots.
Short bangs cut towards the hairline are an excellent choice. It helps conceal the receding hairline and causes your hair to frizz forward. Moreover, combing your locks to the side and back is the right way to accept your new style. If you don't need to hide your hairline, consider long hairstyles. Embracing your natural hair texture is a great choice for a winning look. Of course, you can always go for a more dramatic transformation and cut off all your hair. No hair, no problem! But be prepared to shave your head regularly to maintain the new look and make it last longer.
