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.
Side Part Haircut for Men: Classic and Modern Versions
Side Part Haircut for Men: Classic and Modern Versions
The side part is one of the oldest continuously worn men's hairstyles. A natural part divides the hair to one side; a hard part cuts a defined line into the scalp. Both produce a structured, intentional look with different levels of formality and maintenance.
Natural vs. Hard Part
A natural part follows the hair's own directional grain, typically where the hair naturally separates on its own. The barber uses a comb to establish and clean up this line but does not cut into the scalp. The result is a soft, slightly flexible part that can be moved day to day. A hard part is cut directly into the scalp with a trimmer, creating a precise, shaved line that defines the part with maximum clarity. It stays in place regardless of product or styling changes and is highly visible from close range. The hard part reads as more contemporary and barbershop-precise; the natural part reads as more traditional and classic.
Classic Side Part Structure
The traditional side part features a clean natural or hard part on one side (typically matching the direction hair naturally falls), with the hair on the longer side combed neatly across, and a short taper or low fade on the sides. The top length is typically 1.5 to 2.5 inches, long enough to comb directionally. A medium-hold pomade or cream combed through the top while the hair is damp holds the side-parted direction throughout the day. The classic version is appropriate across virtually all professional and social contexts.
Modern Side Part Versions
Contemporary side part interpretations pair the part with higher contrast fades (mid or high skin fade), longer top sections (2 to 4 inches with more texture), and less product than the classic version. The modern side part may use a clay or matte product instead of a glossy pomade and may allow the hair more natural movement rather than the structured comb-over appearance of the traditional version. The hard part is common in modern versions because it creates the graphic, precise look that pairs with the high-contrast fades popular in contemporary barbershop culture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which side should the part be on?
The natural side is where your hair already naturally wants to part; you can feel this by running your fingers through the hair at the crown and letting it fall naturally. For most men, the natural part falls to one side consistently. The side part looks and holds best when it follows this natural direction because the hair's own grain supports the style rather than working against it. Either side is acceptable; starting with the natural part direction is the path of least resistance.
How do you keep a side part in place all day?
Apply a medium to strong hold pomade or cream to damp hair, comb the part and direction thoroughly, and allow to dry in place. A blow dryer directed in the parted direction while the product is still wet locks the shape significantly better than allowing it to air dry. A secondary light-hold spray after drying adds longevity. The hard part holds the boundary line regardless of product volume; for a natural part with no hard line, the product and drying technique do the work of maintaining the direction.
