Hairstyles for a Receding Hairline – Keep It Short
Sure, not everything on a man should be short. All the same, there are certain reasons to aim for short. Exactly. We're talking about your hair. Between thinning hair and a bald patch at the back, even the best of men can end up brooding on it. A change like that inevitably comes bundled with the thought of getting older. But none of that is a reason to let your head, high forehead and all, hang low. Thinning hair is no disaster, and there's a reason women say men get more interesting with age. That's exactly why today's Charlemagne Premium blog post gets into hairstyles for a receding hairline and shows you how to get the best out of what's on your head in no time.
As Jason Statham likes to say, short and sharp wins
Never trust a quote from the Internet. Obviously we aren't really quoting the well-known action star in that heading. Still, going by how he looks, you could reasonably assume the man is a believer.
In the end he clearly has his own battle with the way hair changes in a man's later years. But he makes the best of it. That fresh, closely clipped head doesn't just suit him, it also cleverly disguises his receding hairline. A simple but very effective method.
The undercut - a clever tool for cutting a style around a receding hairline.
The undercut has one significant advantage when it comes to styling a receding hairline. The closely clipped sides hide the corners at your forehead quickly, because half of each corner is effectively shaved away. The ridge that's left, combed to the side or back as you prefer, does the rest for the overall look. The corners we're talking about get disguised nicely and other parts of your hair take the focus.
A side part also helps with a receding hairline
Just like the undercut, a part, shaved in if you like, gives a similar effect for a receding hairline.
The difference is that the part doesn't hide the corners, it puts them on show. And while we're being straight with each other, we still haven't mentioned the most important thing. A receding hairline is fundamentally nothing bad, it's more an expression of your masculinity. This genetic fact only looks bad when a haircut makes the areas in question look bad. Rather like a man in a miniskirt. The skirt itself is nothing bad, it just needs the right person to show it in its best light.
As you've read, there's always a way to work up a hairstyle around a receding hairline, even if closely clipped hair is strictly speaking less a hairstyle than a haircut. The combination with a full beard, by the way, works extremely well with short hair. Why not have a go at this approach to a receding hairline and pair your own individual look with a beard.

As barbers with more than 20 years in the trade between us, we went looking for styling & care products that convinced us 100%. There were some good products on the market, but none that really gave us everything we needed. After some thought we decided in 2014 to develop our own range. For two years we used every free minute after work at the barbershop to refine the formulations down in our cellar. When it came to ingredients, only the best was good enough for us. We bought the finest jojoba oils available in Morocco, and argan oil from Italy.
After two years and a good many attempts our first product line was ready, and it has been winning our customers over ever since. We think 98% positive reviews speak for themselves. Since the official launch in 2016 it has of course been developed further, continuously. That is one of the reasons Charlemagne Premium products have won not one but several comparison tests in recent years.
You will find all our products right here in our online store. For any questions about them, you can reach us any time at info@charlemagne-premium.com.
