The best receding hairline haircuts keep the sides short, leave some texture on top, and either bring hair forward over the temples or own the hairline with a clean, short cut. Long, flat styles and hard center parts do the exact opposite. Below, we cover 15 receding hairline haircuts\u2014along with what to ask your barber\u2014plus the styles to avoid, everyday styling tips, and what to do when a haircut can no longer hide your temples.<\/p>\n
Many men’s hairlines move back slightly in their late teens or twenties and then stop. This is called a mature hairline, and it usually stays fairly even across the forehead. A receding hairline, on the other hand, keeps moving back\u2014typically cutting in deeper at the temples. If you aren’t sure which one you have, read \u03c0\u03ce\u03c2 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03bb\u03ac\u03b2\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5 \u03b1\u03bd \u03b7 \u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03bc\u03bc\u03ae \u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u03bc\u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03b9\u03ce\u03bd \u03c3\u03b1\u03c2 \u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03c7\u03c9\u03c1\u03b5\u03af<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 what a mature hairline looks like<\/a>.<\/p>\n Clipped short all over, leaving very little contrast between the temples and the rest of your head. It’s the lowest-effort option out there. See 15 buzz cuts for a receding hairline<\/a> to compare different lengths. Short sides and back blended neatly into a slightly longer top. It’s clean, classic, and easy to maintain. Short on top with sides that gradually shorten toward the neckline. It looks neat and put-together without drawing attention to the temples. Short sides paired with a choppy, tousled top. The added texture breaks up the hairline so the temples are less noticeable. A short top pushed up into loose, casual spikes. Keep them short and matte\u2014tall, gelled spikes require thicker hair at the front. A fringe swept across the forehead at an angle. It covers one temple and looks intentional. Medium-length hair brought forward and roughed up for texture. This works well if the hair at your front hairline is still thick enough to hold the style. The front is lifted upward and swept slightly to one side. Keep the height moderate so it doesn’t pull hair away from the temples. Short sides with a strip of longer hair running down the middle, pushed up and slightly forward. It draws the eye toward the center of the head and away from the temples. Hair is pushed back loosely with some natural volume rather than combed flat against the head. Because it leaves the hairline open, it works best for mild recession. Longer hair brushed back and left soft and natural. It’s a polished option if your recession is mild and even. A short top combed back with tapered sides. It works well with salt-and-pepper hair and a mature hairline. A defined side part paired with a fade and the top combed neatly across. This isn’t a classic comb-over meant to hide a bald spot\u2014it’s a short, sharp cut that works well when your hair on top is still full. Short back and sides with a slightly longer top combed neatly to the side. A reliable, classic choice for the office. If your hairline has receded at the temples and left a V-shaped point in the center, sweeping the hair back can make the widow’s peak look deliberate rather than hidden. Keep the sides neat and use a matte product.
