Balding men and anyone else with thinning hair: It’s time we had a talk.<\/p>\n
Let’s face it, you’re not fooling anyone with that comb-over, that weave doesn’t look right, and the toupee will always look crooked.<\/p>\n
But take heart, because there are a few things you can do to your hair and head that will lessen the notability of the hair loss as well as boost your confidence.<\/p>\n
The first mistake men make, according to barber Richard Bresson of Fellow Barber, is keeping their hair on the longer side. As a rule, shorter is always better.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is because, as hair grows out it becomes “stringy and limp on top” and bushy on the sides.<\/p>\n Instead,\u00a0get the sides cropped close<\/strong> with scissors or clippers and the top short\u00a0<\/strong>with the hair brushed to the side. Don’t get any kind of part since you don’t want any hard lines drawing eyes to the “problem area.”<\/p>\n “It’s all about creating an illusion, moving the eyes away from the thinning top, instead of to the whole cut that’s pleasing to look at,” Bresson told us.<\/p>\n As for styling, stick to clays and pastes (you can see our recommendations here) that will give your hair lift and body, according to Bresson.<\/p>\n And if all else fails, just buzz it.<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s up to you and your scalp to make this relatively drastic decision, but more men should definitely consider it, Bresson told us. It can make you look younger and feel more confident.<\/p>\n Plus, you don’t have to shave down to nothing. A No .2 setting or lower on the clippers to shave your head will drastically minimize the appearance of any bald spots or receding hairlines.<\/p>\n But remember, now your head is fully exposed to the elements, so use sunscreen.<\/p>\n Source:\u00a0businessinsider.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Balding men and anyone else with thinning hair: It’s time we had a talk.
