Losing your hair is difficult to deal with, especially if it begins to fall out years before you expected. Going bald might make you lose a bit of your confidence. However, there’s not much to be done about it, and you must embrace and own whatever is happening up top.

Fortunately, it’s possible to conceal a receding hairline and achieve a great new appearance with a sharp new hairdo.  

Signs of A Receding Hairline 

Most men don’t go completely bald immediately—the process takes years, so it might be challenging to recognize when your hairline starts to recede. You’re more likely to wind up with a hairdo that ages you more and attracts attention to your uneven hairline if you can’t spot a receding hairline before coming in for a cut. 

Hair starting to thin at the temples, hairline beginning to droop into an M shape, and more hair falling on your clothes or pillow at night are all signs of a receding hairline.

Although stress can hasten hair loss, your genes play the most critical role in determining when you’ll begin to lose your hair. Hair loss in males can also be caused by illness and some medical treatments.

The Best Hairstyles for Receding Hairlines

The next time you go for a men’s haircut in New York, make sure to remember these top hairstyles for effectively concealing a receding hairline: 

Crew Cut

A helping hand from a men’s hair salon can give you more control over the look of your hairline. You can get your hair trimmed on the top, back, and sides of your head to a short length for an overall smart, clean finish.

Many Ivy League rowing crew members wore the crew cut in the 1920s to keep their hair out of their eyes while competing. It’s a classic appearance that works for guys of all ages, so you don’t have to worry about it being an obvious indicator that you’re attempting to hide a receding hairline.

Faux Hawk

A mohawk is a great technique to hide a receding hairline, but a faux hawk hairdo is a softer, more long-lasting option. This is the look you can opt for if you’ve always had long, thick hair.

Keep your hair short and tidy at the back and sides, but keep it long on top. To keep the focus away from your hairline, use gel to shape your hair into a quiff or wax to play with texture to create the appearance of movement and height.

Clean Shave 

The most effective approach to hide a receding hairline is to shave it entirely, but this takes courage—and the appropriate shaving technique.

When you’re ready, take a few minutes to get to know your head by touching it with your hands all over for any skin tags or moles that you’ll need to avoid with your razor. If you don’t want to do it yourself, you can opt to visit a men’s hair salon. 

Buzz Cut

A buzz cut isn’t as drastic as a clean shave, and if kept neat with frequent trims, it can be a very stylish look.

The buzz cut is arguably one of the most manageable haircuts you can give yourself, but professional barbers can ensure you have an even length throughout.
