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 Pompadour Haircut: How to Cut and Style the Volume-Dependent Classic
The Pompadour Haircut: How to Cut and Style the Volume-Dependent Classic
The pompadour is one of the most recognizable men's hairstyles: volume swept backward from the hairline, with the height building from front to crown and the sides significantly shorter to create contrast. It is entirely dependent on styling to look like a pompadour; worn flat, it is just a long top with faded sides. The cut builds the structure; the blow-dry and product create the style. A client who wants a pompadour must be willing to style their hair; a barber who does not explain this is setting up a client who will be confused when they get home and their hair just lies flat.
The Cut
The pompadour requires length: at minimum 3 to 4 inches at the front hairline, graduating to 2 to 3 inches toward the crown. The longer the front section, the more dramatic the height the style can achieve. The sides are faded or tapered short to create contrast with the voluminous top. The transition from the long top to the short sides is typically disconnected (a hard line or semi-hard line) rather than blended, which creates the dramatic silhouette profile the pompadour is known for.
On the top: leave the hair as one direction-receptive mass. Avoid heavy texturizing or thinning shears in the front section; the pompadour depends on the hair having enough weight and uniformity to sweep back as a cohesive unit rather than fragmenting into pieces.
The Styling
The pompadour is built with a blow-dryer. Apply a volumizing mousse or spray to towel-dried hair. With a round brush or Denman brush, blow-dry the front section upward and backward. The brush lifts the root while the dryer's airflow sets the direction. After the blow-dry, apply a medium to strong hold pomade (oil-based for shine, water-based for matte) to the entire top section. Push the hair backward and upward with the fingers and palms, building the peak at the front. The blow-dry creates the volume; the product holds it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does my hair need to be for a pompadour?
A functional pompadour requires at least 3 inches at the front hairline to sweep back with height. Less length is possible for a subtle variation, but the classic full pompadour profile needs 3 to 5 inches on top. The hair should also have some natural thickness or density; very fine hair can struggle to hold the volume even with product, though a volumizing mousse helps significantly. A barber can assess whether the current length and density are sufficient before committing to the cut.
