If you have thin hair, you may think it’s a curse, but in reality, it’s easy to be stylish with thin hair. In fact, for some hairstyles, thin hair is ideal.
Whether you have naturally thin hair or hair that’s thinning as you age, you can pull off a wide variety of awesome styles. Here are 15 hairstyles for men with thin hair that we love.
Pompadour with Undercut
This light, airy take on the pompadour lends itself well to thin hair. Embrace your thin hair with this version of the classic pompadour. An extreme fade on the sides and back makes the pomp the focus here. Simple and sophisticated, this is a great choice for the stylish gentleman.
Side Texture Tapered Hairstyle
This style uses the texture of thin hair to its advantage. In this style, the thin hair enhances the style. Because of the usually tidy nature of thin hair, it’s easy to comb into a side swept look. The result is clean and professional-looking, making this a great choice for a business haircut that also works in casual situations.
Stylish Side Swept
For guys who prefer a fringe, this laid-back look delivers. Messy yet stylish, it’s a fun cut that can be tamed or let loose. Hairstyles for men with thin hair usually focus on layering, but this style creates a fringe to offset the hair’s thinness. And the thinness of the hair creates a flexible fringe that will move with you. What we like about this fringe style is the sense of fullness it gives, adding both vertical and horizontal depth to the head.
Simple and striking
Guys with thin blonde hair, we haven’t left you out! This style, inspired by the Low Fade, breezy cut with lots of movement. The side swept hair directs the eye. A fun, youthful style that’s to the point. Plus it is quite a gentleman look!
A receding hairline is no match for this outgoing style
If you have thin hair and a receding hairline, you’ve just met your new best friend. This style, as sported here by U2’s Bono, is an excellent look that uses the receding hairline to its advantage. The brushed up style adds volume in the right places, and the slightly unkempt hair adds presence. You don’t need to despise your hairline any longer!
Quiffed Side Swept
A spiky, memorable look, this lively quiffed hairstyle is perfect for the adventurous. This hairstyle’s not for everyone, but it’s surely an attention-getter. You’ll stand out from the crowd with this spiky, asymmetrical look. This is different from the other hairstyles for men with thin hair because it relies mostly on styling for its look. A solid wax or gel will be the key to getting this style.
Quiff-inspired
Thoroughly messy, this quiff-inspired look breaks the typical hairstyle mold. If you think most of these hairstyles for men with thin hair aren’t wild enough, try this one on for size. This quiff takes advantage of a cowlick to create an unexpected moment within the style. The result looks like your hair was just tossed around by the waves from the sea.
Liam Payne's Ivy League Hairstyle
A style that makes a statement, this Ivy League variation is classic and stylish. If you’re a fan of the smart, short Ivy League look, then consider this variation that’s perfect for thin hair. Cut close to the head, the style looks full, and the skin fade on the sides helps the hair on top stand out. This haircut goes to show that you don’t need a ton of hair to pull off a great thin hair look––you only need the right combination of elements.
