How To Look Your Best – 20 Hairstyles For Balding Men
Hairstyles for balding men may sound like a sore subject, but as Hollywood has shown, even the hottest heartthrobs are not immune to hair loss.
But stylists have figured out how to keep them looking their best and now you can steal their secrets by checking out the examples!
Balding Fade Haircut

This is one of the haircuts for balding men that won’t hide a receding hairline, but that’s okay. You don’t have to worry about hiding anything as long as the cut is flattering, which this definitely is. The styling is kept smooth. Clean lines are cut at the temples and beard, giving structure to the look.
Medium Length Combover with Side Part

This is an appropriate sober look, suitable for aging, balding men. The wearer’s hair has been cut to a medium length, which allows him to comb the hair at the hairline back and to one side. The hair at the temples has also been combed back for a neat respectable look. The deep side parting adds some structure to the otherwise relaxed, quick style.
Undercut with Accent Streak

Haircuts for men with thin hair can be as trendy as you want them to be. For a hipster take on the undercut, add a well-groomed beard and a bleached streak. Make sure to go to a barber who has experience with bleach—you’ll want it toned to a nice blonde shade that isn’t too yellow.
Faded Upsweep for Older Men

Need balding haircuts that work for guys aged 50 and over? Try this one. The hair is shorn short on the sides and groomed into a low fade. Meanwhile, the top central part is longer and echoes a grown-out crew cut. The model’s salt and pepper hair color is beautifully showcased with this minimalistic ‘do, that is actually very easy to maintain.

The simple Ivy League haircut will always be a classic style. It’s a go-to option for any man, including balding guys. To create the illusion of a more uniform hairline, try brushing the hair to the side but do not slick it down.
Fade with Curls

Just like everyone else right now, balding men are jumping on the natural hair trend. If you were born with curls, then you should rock them. These imperfectly styled locks lend volume to the hairstyle while showcasing the creative, whimsical personality of the wearer.

Looking for balding men`s hairstyles that will help you to preserve a youthful vibe, even when you’re past your prime? Check out the ‘before’ and ‘after’ pics here: in the first one, the model could easily be someone’s grandpa, whereas in the second one, he looks like your cool, bohemian literature teacher, who you want to hang out for coffee with. His style is simple: a medium length cut with a deep side part, complemented by tapered sideburns, and the frontal section of the hair is swept up and away from the face.
Simple Side Styled Cut

This super cool look is just a little bit different than your average fade hairstyle. It features a longer quiff that can be brushed to a side or up. With a thinning hairline, you will not want your barber to line up the forehead, but instead only the temples and nape.
Short Mohawk with Shaved Sides

Got a square face? Then you can draw focus to your jaw, away from your thinning hair, by playing up the facial hair. This guy chose a trimmed beard, complemented by shaved sides with a demure short mohawk at the top. And he nails it?

Need a masculine haircut that is fuss-free? We get it. You’re a classic kind of guy! This simple fade is great for nearly every hair texture and will let you get out of the house every morning with nothing but a quick comb-through.
Half Bald Pompadour

There are endless options when it comes to hairstyles for men with thin hair. A receding hairline doesn’t equal baldness. You can still wear many trendy styles, like this flat top pompadour. The pompadour is a very hip look, especially when paired with a thick, well-maintained beard. Keep in mind that the pompadour style might actually draw attention to receding hair, so pair it with a fade and embrace it!
Slicked Back Fade Haircut

For receding hairline haircuts that go well with a full beard, don’t get your hair cut too short. Keeping a few extra inches on top balances out a long beard. Plus, if you have thinner hair, you’ll want your top layers to overlay the back, giving the illusion of fuller hair.
Messy Side Trim

So, what do you do when you’re going bald and gray at the same time? How do you maintain a youthful, trendy look? You can try this style, where the graying sides have been trimmed short, with the sideburns blending into a hip facial hair pattern.
Smooth Half Bald Hairstyle

Not all men with a receding hairline have thin hair. If you have nice locks, one way to show them off is with a smooth, slicked back hairstyle. With naturally straight hair, you can simply apply a lightweight mousse and brush everything back.
Tapered Haircut with Combover for Older Men

This is a good look for aging men, whose hair has started to grow white. A tapered haircut is classic. It allows to keep the hair on the sides as short as you need. Comb the top over to one side and complement the style with a longer trimmed goatee.
The Slicked-up Combover with High Undercut

As far as hairstyles for balding men go, the combover has been around forever. It’s one of the most popular styles, but it’s not usually included among the coolest. Even if your dad and uncle sports it, it doesn’t really mean it looks too good. But now comes this modern update on the style, and it’s ready to rock your world. It features an undercut that reaches almost all the way uptop, which almost turns this look into an adult version of the mohawk—with just some pomade added for a sleeker look.
Ivy League for Balding Men

This is a simple hairstyle for men that will never go out of use. Unlike some haircuts, this does not call attention to the hairline. Plus, if you are experiencing balding on the crown as well, this haircut may also work for you. Just make it shorter.
Retro Inspired Pompadour

This cool pompadour style is the perfect pairing for a beard. To style this look, start off with a heat protectant cream or spray. Then blow dry your hair straight back, using a small barrel round brush on the front pieces (to give them that rounded shape).
Simple Hairstyle for Receding Hairline
Dying your hair a natural lighter color, such as blonde, gray or white can make hair loss look less obvious. This is a great trick for older men who aren’t ready to go fully gray naturally or would like to take back control of their thinning hair situation. Back brushing the hair also adds some volume.
Extra Short Mohawk Hairstyle
Shave the sides to bring more attention to the fuller hair up top, or make it a practice to wear some flashier clothing like is exemplified by this recent shot of Tom Sizemore at a movie premiere. With a hot pink shirt and carefully coifed hair, no one would even think about a potentially thinning ‘do.
