Hair loss is a familiar problem for many men. Fortunately, there are hairstyles that are perfect for different forms of hair loss. In this blog, Fellos shares advice from hairdressers about styles that work for coves, thinning hair and a balding crown.

Best hair styles for hair loss

At Fellos, we understand how annoying it can be when your hair gets thinner, your inlets get deeper, or you notice that your hairline is slowly receding. You are certainly not the only one who suffers from this; more than 75% of men experience hair loss. A common question is which hairstyles best suit different types of hair loss. Fellos spoke to hairdressers to find out the answer.

Best haircut for coves: How to get the most out of your hairline

Do you notice that your hairline is slowly receding and your inlets are getting deeper? A sometimes annoying constant. But the good news: with the right hairstyle, you don't have to put the accent on this. The hairdressers Fellos spoke to unanimously said that the fade cut is a common hairstyle for coves.

This style lets the hair on the sides and back gradually flow into slightly longer hair on top. The hair on top of the head is carried forward, hiding any inlets. The hairstyle provides depth and balance, and prevents the focus only on your hairline. Combine this with a light texture on top for an extra optically full effect.

Best haircut for thinning hair

If you notice that your crown or top of your head is getting thinner, it's important to choose a style that creates volume. A crew cut is then a good and common choice. This hairstyle stays short on the sides, while keeping just a little bit of length on top. This provides structure and makes your hair look fuller without having to be overly styled.

Do you use styling products? Then choose a matte paste or clay. They provide grip without flattening your hair. And avoid shiny gels: they let your scalp shine through earlier, which actually accentuates thinning hair.

What's the best haircut for a balding crown?

A balding crown can be difficult to deal with at first, you often don't see it yourself, but others do. That's why it's smart to opt for a hairstyle that softens the transition and shifts attention. A short style such as a buzz cut or a high & tight is particularly effective here. Because the hair around is also short, it looks balanced and you don't focus on your balding crown.

Do you still want to keep a little more length? Then it is important to have the hair cut lightly and in layers on top. In any case, avoid the “crown combover” where you try to cover the bald area with surrounding hair. This often backfires and puts the emphasis on the top of your head.

Shave completely bald: when less is really more

Sometimes thinning hair is so advanced that styling every morning is especially frustrating and you can't hide hair loss with a certain hairstyle. In that case, the shaved look is a powerful step. A shaved haircut can also be stylish and look good, such as Jason Statham. If you suffer from advanced hair loss, a shaved head can not only provide rest but also provide a well-groomed appearance. Do you have a beard? Then you can combine it perfectly with a shaved look.

Let your hair style support your confidence

Whatever you choose, the most important thing is that you feel good about your hairstyle. A style that matches your look and who you want to be.
