2020 has been a hard year for most given economic downturns, social unrest and a bevy of other hard-hitting events. That stress plus Father Time weighing down on our heads has likely exacerbated whatever hair loss problems you have have been dealing with for years.
Before you let the stress of hair loss further weigh you down this year, understand that there are several outstanding hairstyles for balding men which can help you get your confidence back.
Assuming you have a barbershop that’s open in your area to achieve one of these fabulous looks here’s what we recommend you adopt stylistically to get the most out of your hair situation.
1. Shave it Off
We’ll open our hairstyles for balding men suggestions with our most drastic option, shaving your thinning hair off.
Nothing looks worst than an aggressive comb-over and patchy bald spots all over a gentleman’s head. At the end of the day, shaving is going to look better and relieve a lot of your stress.
If you’re worried about the prospect of sporting a bald head, consider exploring things like SMP (scalp micropigmentation) which can help provide the illusion of budding hair follicles. It’s cheap and a top choice among people struggling with male pattern baldness.
2. Buzz it Down
For people with relatively even, thinning hair, a buzz cut can do wonders. Buzz cuts showcase enough of your scalp that people can’t notice that your hair is particularly thin. It just looks like your scalp is exposed because of the length of your hair and that you could grow out a full-looking style if you opted to.
Fashionistas love the buzz cut with a beard (and even bald with a beard) style so give it a whirl to see if going ultra-short boosts your confidence.
3. Slick it Back
Slicking back your hair is a great way to cover up thinning in the back. It also makes it seem that your receding hairline is a choice since your hair is pulled back tight, exposing a lot of your forehead.
To add an additional aura of fullness, blow dry your hair and throw a little bit of pomade in it before combing it backward.
4. Messy, Medium and Textured
Thinning hair that’s blow dyed, sporting a light-hold gel and scruffed up can look very stylish and full. This is the style of choice for many casual personalities that love free-spitted activities like surfing, skateboarding and the like.
5. Overflow Your Hairline
Do you have a full head of hair in the back but receding hair in the front? If you do, comb your hair forward and to the side to push your hairs in the back and mid-portion of your scalp beyond your hairline.
If your hair is very thin in the front, this can look a little “comb-overy”. If you’ve got a little something to work with around your hairline though, this can hide your frontal baldness and look quite natural.
