Many men over 40 would like to change their
hair style, but are unsure about which type of cut to choose, especially if
their hair is starting to thin or their hairline is beginning to recede. However, there are a range of styles you can choose from which are
particularly suitable for the over-40s. Some of them are particularly effective at disguising
male hair loss.
If you are concerned about men’s hair loss and
want to seek treatment, the best way forward is to get expert advice as early as possible. The London Centre of
Trichology has decades of experience, and can offer expert diagnosis and
treatment.
Classic Caesar Cut: This is named after Roman emperor Julius Caesar, who styled his
hair forward, creating a short fringe. It is believed he did this to hide his
early-onset baldness. True or not, the Caesar haircut is a good choice for men
Short Textured Cut: This is another hairstyle favoured by men who
want to disguise a receding hairline. It keeps the texture on the top, so providing a distraction to the
position of the hairline. For an added effect, use a close cut on the sides. This type of style is also suitable for men with greying or
thinning hair.
Short Layered
Cut: This is a
sensible style which can help to make your hair look thicker. Often with this type of cut,
your hair will be swept away from your face, giving texture and volume. It works well on men with grey hair. This type of hairstyle works well for women over 40 as well.
Faux
Hawk: Sometimes simply called the fohawk, this is a cut for the more
adventurous and has been popularised by David Beckham among others. The sides
are usually clipped short, and the hair left longer at the top where it can be
spiked or formed into a point, depending on what works best with the texture.
It is usually cut and styled with scissors rather than a razor. The faux hawk can also be adapted for work or social occasions, depending
on how you brush it.
Mohawk: This is similar in style to the faux hawk and works well on those
men want to disguise a receding hairline. The hair should be cut close
around the temples and forehead where the receding lines are most often seen. The top portion can then be styled into
a mohawk, which need not be as extreme as those seen in the punk era, to
provide a distraction.
Classic Short Back and Sides: A versatile and timeless haircut, as it can look either casual or formal, depending on how you treat it. Treating it with a
clay-based hair product may help achieve the former look, while styling in into
a side parting could give you the latter.
Buzz Cut: Some men choose the option of being completely clean shaven, including the face and head. No lines are
visible if the hair is shaved away. Many men choose this method once their
hairline has started to recede noticeably, or their hair is thinning out a
great deal.
