Haircuts To Keep The Balding Man In Style

Yes as you can see from the picture below, that's famous actor John Travolta sporting his new bald look. Do you think you would look as handsome as Mr. Travolta if you sport your head bald?

I can tell you right now . . .

I would look nothing like him. Most guys are afraid to cut all of their hair off. Really though you don't have to if you are experiencing a bit of thinning on your head.

One of my main reasons for making this post was that I've noticed many guys out there afraid to actually style their hair and cut it just because they were losing some of it. I believe every man must have a sense of style and show it despite how much hair he is losing.

Not to say that you shouldn't attempt to regrow hair at all. That in itself would be pointless and I wouldn't be here today helping you to achieve that goal. But there comes a time where you shouldn't let hair loss get in the way of feeling good about yourself. I was depressed for years when I started losing hair and often just covered up my head with a hat when I went out. Took me a long time to realize that even though my hair was falling out, I was doing something about it and I had every right to feel good about myself in the process.

So let's look at three different haircuts you can get to help you achieve a better look as you work towards your goal of regrowing hair.

Short Styles

Simply getting your hair cut down to a buzz look can alter your appearance for the better, especially when you're battling things like receding hairlines. I personally say go for it. I know of a few men who actually cut their hair down a bit with clippers and got many compliments from both men and women.

In-Between Styles

If you're just starting to notice your hair thinning, you might be a little intimidated when it comes to cutting your hair shorter. That's perfectly fine. This is an opportunity for you to create the illusion of a full head of hair. Former head stylist for NBC television's "The West Wing" Jeff Sacino stated that applying a lightweight gel and then blowing it dry using a round styling brush can help.

What many guys do wrong is attempt to grow their hair out long just to try and cover up their thinning. What happens is this long hair even when thinning, weighs down and creates parts that expose the scalp. The best advice is to talk to your stylist for tips on how to properly dry and style your hair for maximum fullness.

Shaved Look

John Travolta did it and while it might now appeal to you just yet, it could be a style you choose later. It's one of the easiest ways to deal with thinning hair even though a bold look.
