Which looks will be at the cutting edge of hair fashion for men in 2014? Should you keep your hair short and slick or let it grow long? Hairstyles have become increasingly varied over the last few years, making it hard to choose between all the looks. Here's the heads-up on some of the top styles of the moment.
Fringe Benefits: Many male models on the catwalk have been seen sporting long, heavy fringes, while keeping the sides and back of their hair shorter. The hair on the top of the head is also kept short in this look. This style can be a good choice for men who are just starting to notice male hair loss, as the fringe can cover up the hairline.
The Quiff: This is another look with short back and sides and a longer fringe, but the fringe is swept back over the top of the head, giving extra fullness, and using either wax or gel to hold it back. John Travolta famously wore a quiff as a youngster in 1970s smash hit movie Grease, and now he has been seen wearing the look again in his late 50s, proving that it is also flattering for older men.
Undercut: Shaving your hair back at the sides, while leaving it longer on top and in the centre, is a look which has been on-trend for some time. You can either slick the front of your hair back, as Michael Pitt did in the role of Jimmy Darmody in 1920s series 'Boardwalk Empire', or spike it up with gel for a more modern look.
Peaked Cut: If you are looking for a shorter alternative to the undercut, but don't want something too drastic, then this new look could be the answer. Like the undercut, it has shaved sides, but the centre is kept fairly short too and swept back from a peak.
Short and Slick: The 'Mad Men' look popularised by Jon Hamm in the series set in the 1960s is still in vogue, with short, sharp cuts being popular with both younger and older men. Prince William is one famous figure who has shown that short hair can look great even if your hair is receding.
Dishevelled: If you're fed up with sleek and short styles, an alternative gaining in popularity is the carefully dishevelled look, with hair sticking out in different directions. However, this isn't just a case of getting out of bed and forgetting to comb your hair - it's a look that has to be created by a stylist, and you need to make sure your clothes look smart to avoid the hairstyle seeming like something you stumbled on by accident!
Wet Look: A different spin on the tousled, wavy and textured hairstyles popular with many younger men is to apply gel while the hair is still damp after towel-drying for a wet look, or alternatively apply wax to the roots. The wet look can also be combined with a quiff or a short and slick style.
Spike It Up: Spiky hair is still in style and regularly features on the catwalks, working well both for younger men and for older ones. The sides are always a bit shorter than the top to create this look, and the hair on the crown would ideally be about two inches long or more so that the spikes will be effective.
Making Waves: Parting your hair at the side and letting it go across your head in a wave is a catwalk look which works well for men with a lot of hair. Using a mousse will help to add volume for this look, which easily dresses up or down.
Razored Crop: The buzz cut, with hair shaved to stubble, is always a popular choice, especially among those who are experiencing male hair loss. However, another fashionable take on it is to leave the hair a little longer on the top of the head. This hairstyle is often combined with designer stubble. 'Twilight' heart-throb Robert Pattinson is one of the celebrities who has been seen wearing this type of look.
Men's hairstyles are constantly changing, but these are just some of the looks which are in vogue at the moment and look likely to make headlines in the year ahead.

Hair loss London – get in touch now to arrange a free consultation.
Newsboy Cap – This casual headgear is similar in style to a flat cap, but rounder in shape and typically with a button on top. As its name indicates, this style started out as a hat for men and, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was especially associated with newspaper boys. However, recently it has become a top choice for women, often in tweed. The Duchess of Cambridge has given a Royal seal of approval to this look, while singers Rihanna, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears have all been seen wearing these caps too.
Cloche Hats – The word “cloche” is the French for bell, and that describes the shape of these hats, which were popular in the 1920s. This type of chic cap started out as evening wear but was later adapted as a straw or cotton summer hat too. In the 21st century, cloches have made a comeback after being worn by Angelina Jolie in the film 'The Changeling', set in the 1920s, with Victoria Beckham among the stars who have adopted this look.
Floppy Hat/Wide Brimmed Hat – The perfect choice for summer wear is a sun hat with a wide, floppy brim, giving great protection from the sun's rays. Film star Anne Hathaway and actress Keri Russell, currently appearing as a glamorous spy in the retro TV drama 'The Americans', are among the celebrities who favour this ever-popular summer staple, which is also great for sheltering their faces from the cameras.
Western Style Hat – If you've ever seen a Western, you know this type of hat, with its wide turned-up cowboy brim. However, modern-day cowgirls and country music stars often tend to favour a lighter straw version, sometimes trimmed with beads. Actress Catherine Zeta Jones is one famous fan of cowboy hats, along with American singer Jessica Simpson and country star Carrie Underwood.
Girls' Fedora – Back in the Prohibition era of the 1920s, the Fedora was very much a men's hat, associated with gangsters. Male celebrities still wear this style of hat, but if anything it is even more popular with female stars, including actress Cameron Diaz who has been spotted wearing a white fedora.
Military style Cap – Lady Gaga, a superstar who has in the past spoken out about her own problems with hair loss, is one of the celebrities wearing soldier-style headgear, while Madonna has also often been seen in military caps.
Baseball Cap or Snapback Hat – Originally made popular in America, these casual hats are now worn in summer in the UK too by men and women alike, and were one of the fashion trends featured on the catwalk last year. 'Twilight' actress Kristen Stewart is among the celebs seen wearing a baseball cap.
Women’s Bowler Hat –If you thought bowler hats were just for male civil servants in bygone ages, think again. This style of hat has been making a comeback as chic women's wear, and Keira Knightley gave the bowler a boost by wearing one in a perfume ad, while Sienna Miller and Fearne Cotton have also been seen sporting the hats.
Faux Fur Cap – For warm and stylish winter hats, you can't beat Russian-style false fur. Singer Kate Bush wore a hat in this style as the crowning touch to a whole outfit for snowy weather while promoting her album '50 Words for Snow'.
Beanies/Knitted Hats – These warm caps are also thought of as winter wear, but now increasingly worn all the year round in different fabrics. Singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding gave the look a slight twist by wearing a multi-coloured beanie with a pom-pom attached.

Hats that are Right on Trend this Year
If you are losing your hair, there are various ways of coping with it and the London Centre of Trichology will be able to guide you through the various forms of treatment for male hair loss.
In the meantime, however, if you are feeling at a low ebb because of your receding hairline, there are various ways that you can disguise your hair loss and even reinvent yourself in the process.
Various celebrities are known for wearing hats – such as Johnny Depp, star of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films and a host of other smash hits. Depp is rarely seen without a hat, ranging from fedoras to beanie hats, and it was even reported in the media that his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis asked him to get rid of his huge collection of hats because they were taking up two whole rooms.
Another famous hat-wearer is heart-throb Jude Law, star of films like 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Cold Mountain', who often wears a fedora. Both he and Depp have been named as among the top 20 best-dressed men in Hollywood. Also turning heads is sex symbol and Titanic star Billy Zane who started shaving his head in the late 1990s and has been snapped sporting flat caps.
In summer time, it is important to apply sun block to a bald scalp to prevent it getting burned by the sun. Another way to help shield your scalp from the sun’s rays is to wear a hat and here are some top looks to take you through from spring until summer.
Here are some of the stylish hats which are favoured by some famous faces. Do note that not all of the celebrities featured here wear a hat because of male hair loss. Some have a full head of hair and the hat is simply a style choice.
If you are suffering from male hair loss – contact us now to book your free consultation.
Fedora – This felt hat with a brim was originally popular in the 1920s to early 1960s, linked with the era of prohibition and gangsters and worn by stars like Humphrey Bogart on the silver screen. Fedoras look great with suits, but can also be teamed with more casual clothes and have recently made a spectacular fashion comeback, worn by sex symbols like actor Brad Pitt and heart-throb Jon Hamm in his role as Don Draper in American 1960s TV drama series 'Mad Men'.
Trilby – A trilby is a type of fedora with a shorter brim, taking its name from George du Maurier's 1890s novel 'Trilby', after the hat was worn in the first stage production of the novel. It was actually the heroine, Trilby, who wore the hat on stage, but it went on to become popular wear for men. Like fedoras, trilbies have recently made a comeback and can be worn with suits – to add a quirky touch – or more casual outfits. Actor and singer Justin Timberlake is a big fan, while Mick Jagger wore a matching black-and-while trilby and jacket on stage with The Rolling Stones last year.
Flat Cap – Flat caps are most popular in tweed, but you can also get them in many other fabrics. The traditional 'cloth cap' was worn by working-class men in 19th-century Britain and later became especially popular as upper-crust country clothing – but nowadays the cap has been made chic by a younger generation of wearers, such as actor Billy Zane and James Bond star Daniel Craig. Flat caps look especially good with casual clothing such as denim or leather jackets.
Baseball Cap or Snapback Hat– Baseball caps first became popular in the US but are now a casual summer staple in the UK too. An alternative is the snapback hat, a baseball-style hat where you can adjust the size by using a snap fastening at the back. Singer and actor Chris Brown wears baseball caps as his trademark, while other stars pictured wearing them include 'Twilight' heart-throb Robert Pattinson, film superstar Tom Cruise and a host of others.
Bowler hat – The bowler hat is best-known for being traditionally worn by civil servants and office workers, but it was also popular in the American West and Paul Newman wears one in classic movie 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. More recently, Colin Firth wore a bowler in 'The King's Speech', leading to a surprise demand for the classic hat on the high street.
Beanie Hats – Beanie hats are usually thought of as winter wear, as warm knitted caps to help keep you cosy. However, these are now becoming a fashion favourite all year round for many and a rival to the baseball cap. Justin Bieber, David Beckham and Ashton Kutcher are just a few of the celebrities who have been seen wearing this type of headgear.

How to Cope with Male Hair Loss
It's well-known that hair loss is traumatic for women – but male hair loss can be hard to cope with too. A quarter of men start to go bald in their 30s and, although some men are hardly bothered by a receding hairline or a thinning crown, to others it can be extremely upsetting.
By far the most common cause of male hair loss is male pattern baldness and there is more than a 50 per cent chance of receiving the baldness gene. This type of baldness typically starts with a receding hairline or with a loss of hair on the crown of the head. Eventually, hair loss is likely to occur in both areas until most of the head becomes bald.
This can cause a number of psychological effects on men, as a full head of hair often relates to youthfulness and men feel that losing their hair means losing their looks. They may feel less attractive to others and could start to lose their self-esteem. Some men may feel self-conscious at social gatherings and even have difficulty concentrating at work because of worry about their appearance.
Nationally, there are thousands of men seeking surgical and non surgical treatment for hair loss every year, including some well known household names. Fortunately, the London Centre of Trichology has decades of experience of treating hair loss and is there to help you and others cope with male pattern baldness and receive the most up-to-date treatment available.
Here we have put together some of the top tips on coping with male hair loss.
Male hair loss treatment – contact us now and arrange a free consultation.
Know that Male Hair Loss Isn’t Linked to Sex Appeal – There are many male film and TV action heroes with hair loss who are admired worldwide such as: superstars Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel, icon of cool Samuel L Jackson, film hard man Jason Statham, and former EastEnders actor turned presenter Ross Kemp. None of them have lost their sex appeal for female fans because of their changing looks. During his time as Captain Picard in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation', actor Patrick Stewart was also a heart-throb for millions of viewers. Bald icons of the past include Yul Brynner and Telly Savalas, TV's Kojak – who had the catchphrase: “Who loves you, baby?” The answer was, just about everybody.
Small Changes Such as a New Hairstyle Can Give You a Boost – There are various ways to disguise thinning hair or a receding hairline, for instance by opting for shorter or longer styles, such as a modern gelled or spiked look. Just get in touch with your local hairdresser who will be able to help and advise you. However, hairstyles won't alter the fact of hair loss so, if you have your heart set on receiving treatment, it is always better to visit the clinic as soon as you spot the first signs of baldness or receding hair rather than waiting.
Go With the Flow and Show Off Your New Look – As the popularity of so many bald male stars shows, women aren’t put off by baldness. As an alternative to a hairstyle which disguises hair loss, embracing your new look and shaving off your hair at the first signs of baldness could be more attractive than trying to disguise it. Many women say that confidence and personality are the things that appeal to them most in a man – and bald men often have plenty of both because they have had to get used to their maturing looks.
Open Up About Your Fears to Your Friends or Family – If you are worried about losing your hair, don't suffer in silence but confide in your nearest and dearest. You will be surprised to find how many of you are in the same boat. Opening up to your friends or family and discussing your concerns is a great way to help you boost your self-esteem and you could also end up helping them too.
Make it Part of Your Image – Following the example of many superstars with hair loss, you may want to make your thinning hair part and parcel of your image. Perhaps you could make sunglasses your signature look or maybe sport a new cap or hat. Celebrities like Jude Law and Johnny Depp have helped to make hats stylish again and many singers and actors choose to wear them even if they have a full head of hair.
However you feel about male hair loss, it is important to know that you are not alone in facing the problem. Here at the London Centre of Trichology, we are the experts in treating male pattern baldness and other types of hair loss. Our central London clinic offers free consultations where a diagnosis can be made and we can then start treatments, so that you can look to the future with new confidence.

Hair Loss London: Hair Loss in the Headlines
Hair loss is constantly hitting the London headlines, as an increasing number of celebrities feel brave enough to speak out about their own personal battles on this front. The most recent person who has been in the news is the controversial politician Nadine Dorries, 56, who appeared on ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’.
Dorries talked about her battle with hair loss when she appeared on ITV's 'Daybreak' this month, revealing that she first discovered the problem when she was filming a TV interview a few weeks ago, as she spotted a camera showing the back of her head and noticed a bald patch. The outspoken Conservative MP said she said she was constantly in tears after she discovered her hair was falling out, calling it a “confidence stealer” and saying she felt it was affecting her femininity. She was not sure of the cause but thought that stress could be a factor. Dorries said she was having treatment to try to address her hair loss and would be receiving injections.
When celebrities like Dorries speak out about their own battles with hair loss, they reduce the stigma attached to this and also provide hope to millions of other people with the problem, as they let people know through the media that there is treatment available. We have a wealth of knowledge about treatments for hair loss at the London Centre of Trichology. We have been treating people for 57 years, ever since we were established, and our specialists can offer help and hope to both men and women who are feeling the effects of hair loss.

Other Celebrities Who Have Spoken Out About Hair Loss
Nadine Dorries is following in the footsteps of other celebrities who have spoken out about their hair loss and how traumatic they found it. Their frank comments have helped to make other people going through the same thing realise that they are not alone and decide to deal with their own condition.
Actress Anna Kendrick, 27, who rose to fame in the smash hit 'Twilight' films, admitted last year in a TV interview that the pressure of sudden stardom had resulted in her finding that her hair was falling out. She said: “My body was telling me that things were getting crazy”. Anna's hair grew back naturally but, if you need expert advice to tackle your hair loss, the London Centre of Trichology can help.
TV presenter Esther Rantzen, who still looks glamorous at 72, has told in the media how she has always had thin hair and has regularly worn wigs on TV and at red-carpet events over the years, but has now decided to ditch the wigs, commenting: “My hair may be flat, fine and limp but it is still my own.”
In some cases, celebrities think that their hair loss could be the result of extreme hair treatments such as dramatic dyeing or use of hair extensions. 'Mad Men' actress January Jones, best-known as 1960s blonde bombshell Betty Draper, admitted earlier this year in an interview with a fashion magazine that she had been losing large clumps of hair. She blamed extreme hair dyes, after dyeing her hair different colours for a succession of roles.
Singer Lady GaGa, who has dyed her naturally dark hair blonde for years, has also admitted in recent interviews that she has had problems with her bleached hair falling out and is reportedly using a treatment. In the past, Jennifer Aniston, whose hairstyle became one of the most famous in the world through her role as Rachel in hit comedy series 'Friends', also said her 'real hair was getting thinned out' by extensions, so she decided to go for a simpler style.
Although there may be more stigma attached to hair loss in women, men can also find it hard to cope with this. There are some male celebrities who have spoken out about their problems in this area, such as footballer Wayne Rooney, who has just undergone a nine-hour operation to top up his hair transplant from 2011. After his first transplant, Rooney said on Twitter: “I was going bald at 25, why not?” Actor James Nesbitt and Duncan Bannatyne of 'Dragons' Den' fame have also confirmed undergoing hair transplants.

Dorries talked about her battle with hair loss when she appeared on ITV's 'Daybreak' this month, revealing that she first discovered the problem when she was filming a TV interview a few weeks ago, as she spotted a camera showing the back of her head and noticed a bald patch. The outspoken Conservative MP said she said she was constantly in tears after she discovered her hair was falling out, calling it a “confidence stealer” and saying she felt it was affecting her femininity. She was not sure of the cause but thought that stress could be a factor. Dorries said she was having treatment to try to address her hair loss and would be receiving injections.
When celebrities like Dorries speak out about their own battles with hair loss, they reduce the stigma attached to this and also provide hope to millions of other people with the problem, as they let people know through the media that there is treatment available.

Other Celebrities Who Have Spoken Out About Hair Loss
Nadine Dorries is following in the footsteps of other celebrities who have spoken out about their hair loss and how traumatic they found it. Their frank comments have helped to make other people going through the same thing realise that they are not alone and decide to deal with their own condition.
Actress Anna Kendrick, 27, who rose to fame in the smash hit 'Twilight' films, admitted last year in a TV interview that the pressure of sudden stardom had resulted in her finding that her hair was falling out. She said: “My body was telling me that things were getting crazy”. Anna's hair grew back naturally but, if you need expert advice to tackle your hair loss, the London Centre of Trichology can help.

Male Hair Loss – Chic Looks for this Summer
Male hair loss is surprisingly common and, although it can be upsetting at first, there is treatment available. The London Centre of Trichology are the experts in this area and have more than 60 years’ experience in diagnosing and addressing male pattern baldness. If you are experiencing male hair loss, we always recommend that the sooner you treat the condition, the better the results will be. So just click on the link below to book a consultation and find out more information about the treatment available.

If you are experiencing male hair loss, losing your mane doesn’t mean losing your looks. In fact, it can be quite the opposite. Many women feel men with male pattern baldness are extremely attractive. One male role model that springs to mind is Prince William who, although married, has an army of female fans.
However, if you feel that male pattern baldness has knocked your self esteem, this article puts the spotlight on chic ways to help boost your confidence this summer.
Wear Sunglasses – Sunglasses not only protect your eyes by filtering out harmful UV rays, they are extremely stylish too. Whether you want to go for low budget shades or designer sunglasses, eyewear can really enhance your look – and even make you appear exotic and mysterious! Just make sure that you choose the right sunglasses for your face shape – so they are not too small or swamp your face. For instance, if you have a square or angular face shape with a strong jaw line, choose round or oval shaped glasses. If you have an oval face, the greater the choice you have, although rectangular shaped sunglasses will make your face look wider. When you are out of the sun, just flip your sunnies up and wear them like a headband, which looks equally chic and stylish.
Classic Looks – Fashion is constantly changing and, if you want to get yourself bang on trend, take a look at the fashion wear for men this season and choose the ones that work best for you. It’s important to dress for your body shape so only choose a style (and colour) that works best for you. Classic looks are always a sure winner and are a good investment to make as timeless outfits last well beyond the summer season (so steer clear of those brightly patterned oversized Hawaiian shirts!). Opt for anything that is tailored, for example, tailored shorts and shirts will flatter your body shape. If you are rectangular shaped with hips and shoulders that are roughly the same size, layer your clothing and wear tailored jackets. If you have broad shoulders and a relatively narrow hips and waist, consider yourself lucky as most styles will suit your body shape! For those who are oval shaped, vertical stripes will make your body look longer.
Summer Makeovers – A trip to your local barber can give you a real boost. Whether you want a smooth shave or designer stubble, there are all sorts of options available to you. Draw some inspiration from some of the people in the public eye whom you admire. Brad Pitt and David Beckham are two public figures that spring to mind whose image has changed over the years. If you want to give yourself a further confidence lift, consider changing your hair style – you may want to gel it or even shave it off completely, whichever works best for you.
Look After Your Body – If you want to look good for the beach this summer, it is important to eat well by having a balanced diet. So ditch those pizzas, takeaways and microwave meals and opt for salads and low fat home cooked food instead. It is often advised to ‘eat the colour of the rainbow’ so choose raw food like avocado, peppers, lettuce and tomatoes. Try not to over-eat – the recommended calorie intake for men stands at 2500 (and yes, that means calories from alcohol too!) Combine your healthy diet with an exercise regime and aim for at least a 30 minute workout a day. Having a healthier lifestyle and keeping in shape knocks years off you – get ready for the compliments.
Visit the Trichology Experts - If you are experiencing male hair loss, the sooner you receive treatment, the better. A visit to the London Centre of Trichology, which is based in Blandford Street, Greater London, will put you at ease and you will be able to talk through the options available with our friendly team of staff. It will give you added confidence to know that you are getting help from the experts!

Hair Loss London – Confidence Boosting Tips on How to Look Good and Feel Great
Whatever your age or sex, losing your hair can knock your self esteem. While, on the upside, most forms of hair loss are treatable, in the intermediate time it may be a major blow to your confidence or worse: you may want to shut yourself away from friends and family. This article spotlights steps you can take to feel yourself again – and help you look good and feel great.
Whether you are male or female and have experienced hair loss, visit the London Centre of Trichology where our experts will help diagnose your condition and talk you through the treatment available. The sooner your hair loss is addressed, the better the results. And, with six decades of experience in our field, you will have added peace of mind that you are in the hands of the experts. To find out more about treatment of hair loss in the London area, click on the link below.

Meanwhile, if you are diagnosed with female alopecia or male pattern baldness, here’s just some of the ways you can boost your confidence.
Join a Support Group – Browse the internet to find a support group in your local area. Or, if you can’t find one near you, why not set one up yourself? By joining a support group, you will no longer feel alone and you can find out about other people’s experiences and how they have coped with female alopecia or male pattern baldness. If you are looking for hair loss support groups or charities in the London area, for example, there are a number of these available. These include: Surrey/Greater London hair loss support, Alopecia UK and Alopecia Awareness.
Challenge Yourself – Channelling your energy into something new can work wonders for your confidence and it will help take your mind off things. Challenge yourself by taking up a new hobby - or sport - whether that is joining a new club or, if you like the idea of an adrenalin rush, try pushing yourself to try out an adventure activity, such as wall climbing, dry ski slope skiing, surfing or abseiling. This will give you a buzz and is a great way to make new friends.
Dress for Confidence – Take a good look through your wardrobe; if you struggle to find something decent to wear and your existing outfits are tired, worn or out of date, you may be in need of a wardrobe makeover. Examine each of the items you have and chuck away all the old clothes that are the wrong colour on you, don’t flatter your figure, or have holes in - and invest in new ones. To make your wardrobe purge fun, invite a friend to help and ask them for an honest opinion before chucking stuff away. When you shop for clothes (budget allowing) make sure you buy at least a couple of outfits, so you have something for any occasion: a meal out, the office, sportswear and everyday wear. If you are unsure of your body type, department stores often have in-house personal shoppers who can find you outfits that flatter your figure.
Have a New Hairstyle – Changing your locks can be a great boost to your self esteem. You may want to try out a new hair colour or have more flattering style. There are many stylists who are experienced in this field and can give you a suitable cut that will help disguise bald patches or a receding hairline.
Hair and Other Accessories – Scarves and hats are very fashionable and look fantastic if you find the perfect accessory for your face shape. It could become your signature style! Other chic accessories include sunglasses. Once the sun is out, sunglasses can be worn summer or winter and look chic and stylish. They can be used to shield your eyes from the sun’s rays in daylight hours, and can be worn as a hair band indoors.
Take Up Exercise – Exercise lifts your mood and makes you feel great. It also improves your appearance as it assists in weight loss and tones your body to give it a better shape. Improved fitness makes you look younger too and, with such a wide variety of sports available, you will always find one to suit you. Whether you enjoy team sports, classes or working out alone, there’s a whole range of activities available from walking, to jogging, swimming, yoga, gym work outs, tennis and football.
Give Yourself a New Image – Whether you are male or female, a new image can give you a major confidence boost. If you are female, you may want to find out how best to apply make-up for your face shape. The cost of a makeover is often redeemable against purchase - just book an appointment with a make-up artist in your nearest department store by telephone or in person. Men may want a new way of shaving and perhaps sport designer stubble that makes the most of their features.
Reconnect with Friends – Having a network of friends who are non judgemental, make you laugh and give you a lift is essential when you have had a confidence knock-back. In fact, the chances are your best friends won’t have even noticed your hair loss!
