20 Fantastic Hairstyles for Men With Thin Hair

by Updated on June 27, 2018

Having thin hair may seem like the world’s turned against you from the moment you were born – and you may wish you’d grow some extra hair every night before you fall asleep.

But – there’s no need for that, really. It’s all about how you perceive it – because thin hair can also be a blessing to live with.

Why? Well, because it is easier to style – that’s one. You won’t need to spend hours fixing a cut in front of the mirror – there’s just not enough hair for hours of prepping.

Plus, most haircuts will look good on you – or can be adapted to look good on thin hair.

And on top of all of that – thin hair is so much easier to manage! With thick hair, it’s not just about styling – it’s the special shampoos, the impossible-to-brush locks, the conditioners, the smoothing products… With thin hair, all you need is to invest in some quality volumizing shampoo and matte pomade to create volume – and your hair care routine is sorted.

So, shall we take a look at some fantastic hairstyle options for men with thin hair?

#1: Classic Pompadour for Thin Hair

If you were worried that having thin hair wouldn’t allow you to sport the most charming hairstyle – then you’ll love what’s coming next. The pompadour is ideal for thin hair, as it creates volume on the top. Use strong-hold pomade to create the look – but don’t overuse it!

#2: Spiky, Textured Cut

When you have thin hair, texture is your friend. Use it to create a more voluminous, fuller look.

#3: Spiky Cut + Fade

Another version of the spiky cut – this time with a bald fade. A great hairstyle for thin hair – as spikes create an illusion of fullness. Not greasy or gelled spikes, inspired by the 90s!

#4: Subtle Pompadour + Heavy Beard

If your hair is thin but your beard game is strong – then flaunt it! Having a thick, heavy beard compensates for the lack of volume and thickness on your head.

#5: Curly Hair + Faded Sides

Having thin, curly hair is an absolute blessing – because it’s easier to style than thick, curly hair – but the fact that it’s thin isn’t too obvious.

If you’d rather leave your hair longer, then this medium-length spiky haircut is a fantastic option. Create the style with some strong-hold matte pomade. The short sides allow for the top to claim all of the attention!

#10: Textured Curls + Bald Fade

For a man with curly hair, this cut is pretty ideal. The bald fade allows for the top to be the most important detail of the cut – and ensures that the look isn’t too overwhelming. We know how “big” curly hair can be…

#11: Smooth and Short Quiff

Another great option for someone who doesn’t have thick locks. The quiff hairstyle allows for the volume to be created at the front – this way nicely hiding the fact that the hair is thin.

#12: Fohawk for Thin Hair

The “too cool for school fohawk” is also a great hairstyle for someone whose hair is on the thin side. You can create artificial volume with some strong-hold pomade – and the fact that the hair is thin will make it easier to manage.

#13: Messy Spikes

If your hair is wavy, then think about this as a hairstyle option. The spikes will be easy to achieve in the morning – while the mid fade will make normally unruly hair easier to manage.

If you’d like to create even more of an impression with your haircut – then how about opting for a sharp undercut instead of a fade? The contrast is pretty bold!
