5 Best Haircuts for Men with
Early Hair Thinning
Losing your hair is never a good feeling, most men tend to feel self-conscious about it. Some men decide to completely shave off their heads or constantly wear a hat. One of the most common insecurities men face is hair thinning; for some men, it starts as early as in their 20s. The loss of confidence really starts to affect the way men do their hair and the types of hair cuts they get. Men start to worry about how they will be perceived by friends, family, and colleagues. Hair thinning should not be the cause of self distraughtness, and it should not limit men to have to continuously cover their heads. CADMEN Barbershop has compiled a list of the top 5 best haircuts for men experiencing early hair loss.
The Blowout Haircut: What It Is, How to Cut It, and Why It Requires More Than Just Volume
The Blowout Haircut: What It Is, How to Cut It, and Why It Requires More Than Just Volume
The blowout is a haircut characterized by high volume on top, shorter or faded sides, and a rounded silhouette that emphasizes fullness through the crown. The volume is achieved through a combination of cutting technique (leaving significant length on top, cutting it to support the round shape) and styling technique (blow-drying the top outward and upward to maximize lift and volume). The two elements are inseparable: a haircut that is cut for a blowout but styled without heat produces flat results; a hair type that cannot support volume will not produce a blowout silhouette regardless of cut.
Who the Blowout Works For
The blowout relies on hair density and natural texture. It works best on medium to thick hair with natural wave or body. Fine, straight hair without density struggles to maintain the volume silhouette for more than an hour after styling. Clients asking for a blowout with fine, straight hair should be shown realistic reference photos and informed about the maintenance requirement; the style will require daily blow-dry time and product to maintain. For clients with naturally thick or wavy hair, the blowout requires less maintenance because the natural texture supports the shape.
The Cut
The top section is cut longer than most other faded styles, typically 3 to 5 inches, and shaped to a rounded contour that reads as full when blown out. The length is distributed evenly across the top rather than leaving more in one area (the way a comb over directs length to one side). The goal is that when the hair is blown forward and out, the outer perimeter of the top section forms a consistent curve above the head. Hair that is uneven in length through the top produces an uneven perimeter when blown out.
The sides are faded or clipped short. The transition from the short sides to the long top is blended but often with visible contrast, because the contrast between short sides and the full top section is part of what makes the blowout silhouette read as voluminous. A very soft blend reduces the contrast effect.
The Styling
The blowout requires heat styling. A round brush or a Denman brush is used while blow-drying the top outward and upward from the scalp. The brush lifts the hair at the root while the dryer sets that lift with heat. Applying a lightweight volumizing product to towel-dried hair before blow-drying extends the volume throughout the day. After the blow-dry, a light pomade or cream can add texture and hold without collapsing the volume that the blow-dry created.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a blowout haircut last?
The haircut itself grows out like any other; clients typically return every 3 to 5 weeks. The style requires daily blow-drying to maintain the volume; the blown-out appearance lasts through the day with a good hold product and deflates overnight as humidity affects the style. This is normal and expected; the style is a daily styling haircut, not a wash-and-go style.
