With ever more celebrities embracing the look, 2015 has been described as the “Year of the Beard”. Many stars have turned up wearing different variations of facial hair at awards ceremonies such as the Golden Globes. The good news is that beards and moustaches look great worn by men with male hair loss. Indeed, some people with full heads of hair in London and other cities are deliberately shaving their heads to focus more attention on their beards.
Beards, stubble and moustaches are all currently in fashion, with many men looking for new ways to wear their facial hair. Some trend-setters are even colouring their beards for a different look, using semi-permanent or henna dyes.
Many men find that thinning locks hit their confidence. If you have this problem, it's best to seek advice from London Centre of Trichology immediately, as early hair loss treatment is likely to prove the most successful option. But, in the meantime, growing a beard can be a way of giving yourself a boost and creating a new look which makes you feel good.
The best beard style for you depends on factors such as your face shape and hair texture, but here is a look at seven top beard and moustache styles of the moment.
Male Hair Loss London – Contact London Centre of Trichology to arrange a free consultation with our experts.
The Goatee – One of the most popular current styles, this involves letting the hair below your bottom lip grow, and is usually the width of your mouth or chin. Stars who have tried this type of beard include Robert Downey Jr in his Iron Man role, as well as Brad Pitt, Christian Bale and Gary Lineker. A goatee looks especially good on men with an oval or square face.
French Beard – A variant on the goatee, this look sees a small beard around the chin, together with a moustache. There are different versions of this style, but they all rely on the hair being well trimmed. Will Smith has been seen sporting a French beard, and they are also popular with many Bollywood actors.
Chin Curtain – This style is in effect a full beard, but without a moustache. The most fashionable spin on this look is trimmed to create a strip of hair running down from the ears and round the jaw. A chin curtain is especially effective if you have a longer face shape. Actor Zac Efron is one of the famous names who has worn this facial hair fashion.
Petit Handlebar Moustache – A bushy handlebar moustache is instantly recognisable – but have you come across a petit handlebar? This daringly different 'tache is shorter than the traditional handlebar, but still has the curved ends, usually created with styling wax. Johnny Depp wears this look in his 2015 spy film Mortdecai, with slicked-back hair for added retro glamour.
Anchor Beard – As you might guess from its name, this sailor-style beard resembles an anchor, with a line of hair coming down from under the lower lip, to meet a triangular shape running from the jawline around the chin. It looks great with a bald head, as X-Men star Hugh Jackman will demonstrate in his role as pirate Blackbeard in the forthcoming film Pan.
Short Boxed Beard – This sculpted beard cropped around the jaw is especially flattering for rounder face shapes. Because of its smart appearance, it is ideal for men who need to look well-groomed for the office. Keeping the look relies on regularly shaving under your beard to avoid it getting straggly. George Clooney and Jude Law are among the actors who have adopted this beard.
Soul Patch – If you aren't sure you want to go very far with the bearded look, this mini-beard could be the way to go. Actors Kevin Costner and John Travolta and singer Bruce Springsteen have all sported a soul patch. It is just a small patch of hair below the lower lip, constantly trimmed to keep the chosen shape.
Beards are so popular at the moment that glamorous models even wore a “crystal beard” for women, a lower face mask studded with jewels, at Paris Fashion Week in January 2015. However, it remains to be seen whether this particular look will ever make it off the catwalk and into the shops!

Top Hair Styles for Men in 2014
If you have male pattern baldness and feel in need of an image revamp, there are some top looks for men which have hit the catwalks this year. Even if you have the first signs of male hair loss, there are some fantastic new styles that will make you look cutting edge and will see you turning heads in 2014.
While some men appear to take male pattern baldness in their stride, others may feel a loss of confidence and self-esteem. However, with more than 50 per cent of men affected by this by the time they reach the age of 50, you may feel relieved to know that you are not alone. Among the men with hair loss are some of the biggest heart throbs and celebrities, including actor Bruce Willis, and singers Sting and Robbie Williams. And, it hasn’t skipped royalty either, as Prince William has a receding hairline and still catches the eyes of the females!
Although many men brush off their baldness in public, most don’t feel so confident about it on the inside. One 42-year-old man, who lives near London, was first affected by male pattern baldness in his 30’s and has now lost half of his hair.
He said: “I knew that I might end up with a receding hair line as this runs in the family as my dad has male hair loss. You feel resigned to it in a way but it does affect your self esteem - you just pretend that it doesn’t.”
It is always advisable to visit the experts at the first signs of male pattern baldness, as the earlier it is tackled, the better the results you will receive from your treatment. This is exactly what singer Robbie Williams, who revealed he got a hair transplant before people spotted his receding hairline.
If you are affected by hair loss, it is important to get advice from the experts, and here at the London Centre of Trichology we have helped thousands of men and women with hair loss. And, with more than 50 years’ experience in the industry, you know you are in the hands of the experts.

Meanwhile, if you are looking to address a receding hairline, London Centre of Trichology predicts this year’s top looks, that are suitable for men with hair loss.
Great Looks for Men in 2014
The Undercut – Shaved Sides and Long on Top – This is a brave and bold look for men – and women – as it combines length on top, with super short close cut sides. It was a huge hit last year and the trend is set to continue, and for men, it has the added bonus of helping to disguise a receding hairline. If you want to take the plunge, this hair style suits most face shapes, so you are bound to pull of this look. Just talk it over with your stylist to see what they think.
If you decide to go for the undercut, you will be following in the footsteps of the rich and famous. Some of the celebrities that have been seen sporting this look include actor Jude Law and footballer David Beckham. You can gel the longer section of the hair and comb it back, or to the side.
A slight variant of this style is to leave your hair longer at the sides than the undercut, but have it slightly shorter on top. Although this look requires maintenance, the results are worth the effort, as it is set to be a top trend for this year. Celebrities sporting this style includes singer Justin Bieber.
Keeping Your Hair Long - Keeping your hair long is very low maintenance, but if you do want this look, it’s best to check with your boss first to see if this style is suitable for work!
You can either keep your hair long and natural, just like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean (or actor Matthew McConaughey), or if you have enough length, you can tie it up. Tying it up can draw attention away from a receding hair line and disguise any bald patches at the back. Whether you suit a longer style really depends on the condition of the hair and your face shape.
Sweeping the Hair Forwards – This is another hair style that has rocked the catwalks this year and will keep you at the forefront of fashion in 2013. It is a relaxed, low maintenance style that is best suited for straight hair, but it can work for wavy and curly hair too.
You will often see this look sported by band members on the British music scene, such as The Arctic Monkeys and The Kooks.

We all crave shiny, luscious locks; so if you have spotted the first signs of women’s hair loss, in London or elsewhere in the UK, this can feel extremely upsetting and, at first, you may wonder which way to turn. However, there are various ways of addressing of female alopecia – including your choice of hair styles and accessories – so you can regain your confidence and enjoy a bright start to 2014.
If you are affected by thinning hair, the first step will be to seek advice from the leading experts in trichology so that we can diagnose and treat your condition. Here, at the London Centre of Trichology, we have more than half a century of experience in the treatment of stress related hair loss, female alopecia and female pattern hair loss. We use the most advanced techniques available, and have helped thousands of men and women since the foundation of our clinic.
If you have noticed signs of women’s hair loss, and are worried about the effect it may have on your appearance, there are a number of hair styles and hair accessories that you can use to make you look – and feel – glamorous. Here we put the spotlight on the top, fashionable looks for 2014, for long, short and medium length hair, which are suitable for women with hair loss.
Women’s Hair Loss London - click here to find out about how we can help.
Medium Length Bob – If you have female hair loss, one of the best styles to wear is the bob, which is easy to maintain and gives the appearance of thickness. The bob has been seen on catwalks worldwide, which means that it will be a big trend in 2014.
You can wear a bob in various lengths, so talk it over with your stylists to decide on which one is right for you. You may also want to consider dyeing your hair to give the illusion of extra body, and again, talk to your stylist who will advise you on the right shade for your skin tone.
The bob is an extremely versatile cut and looks stylish for evening or casual day wear as you can dress it up or down with the use of clips or bands. Try experimenting with a variety of hair accessories to find the look you want.
With a medium length or short bob, you can also add a cropped fringe, which again, is a fashionable look for 2014.
Short and Chic – Among the top styles of the 2014 is a long Pixie cut which can be swept to the side, or the short crop, which can fall to the front.
There are several advantages to short hair for women with alopecia, as it makes the hair look thicker and generally requires less maintenance than longer styles – just use a textured hair product to style it into place, spritz on some hair spray, and you are good to go. Another benefit of the Pixie cut is that it also allows for the hair to grow back, without affecting the style.
Major stars have gone for the pixie cut including Anne Hathaway (‘Devil Wears Prada’), Halle Berry (‘Catwoman’), Emma Watson (‘Harry Potter’), singer Pink, Winona Ryder (‘Beetlejuice’), and even former Baywatch Star Pamela Anderson. It was certainly a big look for 2013, and the trend is set to continue.
Pretty much anyone can pull off this look, however, you do need a good stylist who will cut your hair according to your face shape. If you have a long forehead, for instance, you should go for a softer look with your hair swept forward.
Long and Natural Hair – If you want to keep your length, long and straight tousled hair is a top look for 2014 and needs very little maintenance.
The advantages of long hair is that it is easy to adapt and you can change the parting to suit your hair and your face shape, although wearing your hair with a centre parting will keep your locks bang on trend.
Talk over the various looks with your stylist, who can suggest the best ways to wear this style if you have hair loss. The hair cut straight and at the shoulder will give the illusion of thickness and width, and you will still benefit from the length.
For added charm, there are a variety of day and evening hair accessories you can use to bring sparkle to your tresses including clips and head bands. Alternatively, a stylish hat with long hair looks fabulous worn in summer or winter. Keeping your hair in tip top condition will also give your crowning glory a boost, so invest in a hair shine spray or luxury hair treatment that can be applied easily to either wet or dry hair.
If you are keeping your hair long, it is always best to blow dry your hair, rather than use straighteners. This may leave kinks or waves in your hair, but the resulting effect is natural and stylish.

Eight Amazing New Hair Looks for Women this Season
If you have just noticed that you are suffering from female hair loss, it is bound to be a worrying time, but the good news is that expert help is available. Just get in touch with London Centre of Trichology, and our team of specialists will quickly be able to diagnose your problem and set about arranging hair loss treatment. Remember, the sooner treatments start, the greater the likelihood it will be successful, so it is best not to lose any time in getting a diagnosis.
Unfortunately, you may well find that your self-confidence is suffering as a result of female hair loss. One way to give yourself a boost is to try a new hairstyle which is better suited to coping with thinning hair and which will help you to feel more confident before you start hair loss consultations with our London-based experts.
Here we will look at some of the new hairstyles which are in vogue for winter 2013-14, including some which are suited to women with female pattern hair loss.
Female Hair Loss – contact us now for help and advice.
1. Slicked-Back Hair: One of the hottest catwalk looks of the moment sees unparted hair swept back over the head and slicked back with gel, with straight hair at the sides. This is a look which can work well if your hair is thinning on the crown, as you can cover it up by sweeping back the fringe. A pixie crop, with a side parting, can also be slicked back, or you could combine this look with an "up-do" or bun.
2. Fringes: These are very much back in fashion again, in all shapes and sizes. Heavy 1960s-Mary Quant-style fringes and uneven wisps are both in vogue, as well as blunt cuts. If you want to wear a full fringe but slightly soften the look, you could let it taper at the sides with some longer strands. Or, for a different and modern twist, how about growing your fringe long and then sweeping it sideways across the forehead with gel? If you don't want to go to the time and trouble of growing a fringe, clip-on versions are also in fashion.
3. Deep Side Parting: Another dramatic style sees the hair parted deep on one side, with hair swept across the crown. This works equally well with a short cut, a bun or a low ponytail, which is one of the popular ways to wear long hair at the moment. Gel or spray can add a slick touch to this type of style, or you can make the parting uneven and the hair slightly tousled for a more relaxed version of the look.
4. Retro Punk: Outrageous multi-coloured punk rock hairstyles have featured on the catwalks recently, with long spikes of hair sticking out in all directions. While these amazing styles might look striking on models, it's unlikely that they will prove very popular on the high street - as they just aren't practical for most women to wear to work or around the house! However, elements of the punk rock look, such as long, spiky fringes and uneven hair at the back and sides, are likely to catch on. Two-tone hairstyles offer another spin on this, for instance with blonde on top and dark hair underneath.
5. Crimping: If you're looking for an alternative to straight and slick, but don't want to go for one of the wilder hairstyles of the moment, then crimping could be a look to consider. This 1990s style is making a surprise comeback at the moment, with a crimped ponytail as one of the ways to wear the look, 21st-century style.
6. Accessories: Some models in recent fashion shows have been seen wearing tiaras, which most women might find a bit much for everyday wear – although they could be fun at a party. However, there are also many other accessories which are set to contribute to the latest hairstyles, such as wide hair-bands worn over slicked-back hair or slides to hold your pony-tail.
7. Long Crop: If you are suffering from women's hair loss, this is a look which can help to add an appearance of volume to thinning hair, as the hair is kept the same length all over your head. It also features a fringe, which is very much on-trend.
8. Waves and Curls: If you have long hair, then another of the hot looks for the coming season is to wear it loose with romantic curls or waves. Bright red curly or wavy hair is especially fashionable, but, if your hair is not naturally red, it's best to get advice from a hair salon rather than trying any dramatic colour changes at home.

Unfortunately, you may well find that your self-confidence is suffering as a result of female hair loss. One way to give yourself a boost is to try a new hairstyle which is better suited to coping with thinning hair and which will help you to feel more confident before you start hair loss consultations with our London-based experts.
Here we will look at some of the new hairstyles which are in vogue for winter 2013-14, including some which are suited to women with female pattern hair loss.

1. Slicked-Back Hair: One of the hottest catwalk looks of the moment sees unparted hair swept back over the head and slicked back with gel, with straight hair at the sides. This is a look which can work well if your hair is thinning on the crown, as you can cover it up by sweeping back the fringe. A pixie crop, with a side parting, can also be slicked back, or you could combine this look with an "up-do" or bun.
2. Fringes: These are very much back in fashion again, in all shapes and sizes. Heavy 1960s-Mary Quant-style fringes and uneven wisps are both in vogue, as well as blunt cuts. If you want to wear a full fringe but slightly soften the look, you could let it taper at the sides with some longer strands. Or, for a different and modern twist, how about growing your fringe long and then sweeping it sideways across the forehead with gel? If you don't want to go to the time and trouble of growing a fringe, clip-on versions are also in fashion.
3. Deep Side Parting: Another dramatic style sees the hair parted deep on one side, with hair swept across the crown. This works equally well with a short cut, a bun or a low ponytail, which is one of the popular ways to wear long hair at the moment. Gel or spray can add a slick touch to this type of style, or you can make the parting uneven and the hair slightly tousled for a more relaxed version of the look.
4. Retro Punk: Outrageous multi-coloured punk rock hairstyles have featured on the catwalks recently, with long spikes of hair sticking out in all directions. While these amazing styles might look striking on models, it's unlikely that they will prove very popular on the high street - as they just aren't practical for most women to wear to work or around the house! However, elements of the punk rock look, such as long, spiky fringes and uneven hair at the back and sides, are likely to catch on. Two-tone hairstyles offer another spin on this, for instance with blonde on top and dark hair underneath.
5. Crimping: If you're looking for an alternative to straight and slick, but don't want to go for one of the wilder hairstyles of the moment, then crimping could be a look to consider. This 1990s style is making a surprise comeback at the moment, with a crimped ponytail as one of the ways to wear the look, 21st-century style.
6. Accessories: Some models in recent fashion shows have been seen wearing tiaras, which most women might find a bit much for everyday wear – although they could be fun at a party. However, there are also many other accessories which are set to contribute to the latest hairstyles, such as wide hair-bands worn over slicked-back hair or slides to hold your pony-tail.
7. Long Crop: If you are suffering from women's hair loss, this is a look which can help to add an appearance of volume to thinning hair, as the hair is kept the same length all over your head. It also features a fringe, which is very much on-trend.
8. Waves and Curls: If you have long hair, then another of the hot looks for the coming season is to wear it loose with romantic curls or waves. Bright red curly or wavy hair is especially fashionable, but, if your hair is not naturally red, it's best to get advice from a hair salon rather than trying any dramatic colour changes at home.

Top 10 Fashionable Hairstyles for Men
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.

London Centre of Trichology can help, as we have more than 60 years’ of experience, so you can rely on our team of experts. We will quickly diagnose your condition and advise you on how best to tackle it, deciding on a programme of treatment with you.
In the time between first noticing your problem and starting treatment, if you are feeling a lack of self-esteem, you may want to think about ways to boost your confidence. There are all sorts of tricks and cover-ups which can help to disguise hair loss – from London salons' newest hairstyles to fashionable scarves and pretty hair accessories – and one of these is choosing a hat that suits your face shape and style. From winter hats to summer caps, there are all sorts of hats that look stylish and fashionable and can even become your signature look!
Many female celebrities are known for wearing stylish hats, to shield themselves from the sun, hide from the Paparazzi or just because they like the look, and not just because of hair loss. Here, London Centre of Trichology will turn the spotlight on some of the hats that are bang on trend this season and can help create the perfect style.

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.
