• Key point: Adopting short hair with confidence is a natural way to cover thinning hair.

2. Skinhead

Characteristics: Even more graceful, a skinhead with the hair completely shaved off is a cool and powerful haircut.

• Key point: It is important to take good care of your scalp and keep it clean. Don’t forget to take measures to protect yourself from sunburn.

3. Shortcut

Characteristics: Cutting hair short makes thinning hair on the top less noticeable.Leaving the hair on the sides and back of the head a little longer makes it easier to balance with the crown of the head.

• Advantages: Relatively easy styling and natural look. The top of the head is less noticeable, especially when the sides are trimmed.
• Key tip: Use wax or gel to add light styling for an even more stylish look.

4. Fade cut

Characteristics: The fade cut, in which the sides are trimmed short in a gradient pattern, is a very popular style. Even if the crown of the head is thin, shortening the sides improves the overall balance and makes it easier to cover thinning hair.

6. Long top and short side

Characteristics: This style leaves the hair on the top of the head slightly longer and trims the sides shorter. Longer hair on the top creates volume, while shorter hair on the sides provides a contrast to the thinning area.

• Benefit: Adding volume to the hair at the top makes thinning hair less noticeable.
• Key: Balance the overall look by lightly sweeping the hair down the top or standing it up with styling products.

7. Crew cut (short style close to round-cropped)

Points to compensate for thinning hair

• Use of styling products: To cover thinning hair, use a light wax or gel to make hair on top stand up or flow to create volume.
• Combination with a beard: If thinning hair is noticeable, a beard can help balance the overall look. Combinations of skinheads or shaved heads with beards are particularly popular.

Finding the right hairstyle for you is one step to feeling confident, even if you are suffering from thinning hair. It is important to consult with a barber or hairdresser to find a style that suits your head and face shape.
