Look, compared to women, men have it easy when it comes to beauty standards. But we all know the top 3 for guys are hair, height and having a big … heart. All of which often just come down to the cards we’re dealt. But it’s 2024. Artificial Intelligence has stolen our jobs and Elon Musk is dead set on colonizing Mars. Anything is possible.
But before you fly off to Turkey for that hair transplant – here’s some alternative advice for thinning hair from your friendly, neighborhood barbers.

Arthur from Hyde Park says, “With fine and thin hair we need to create volume and in order to do so, it’s better to have a dry look rather than a wet one. Matte and dry products blend for effortlessly natural styles while wet and high shine products undoubtedly emphasize thin hair.”
He recommends you avoid using gels and oils that weigh down your hair. Instead, use a lightweight heat protectant and blow dry your hair from root to end to create noticeable lift and flattering volume.

Julian at our Bouldin shop suggests texture powders for a clean look and a light hold that supports volume. The texture powder our crew recommends most is from Uppercut. Another great thing about texture powers is that they’re extremely easy to use, natural looking and you can opt for a colored powder for a thicker, fuller appearance.

Style, Color … Cut
But wait! There’s more!
The right haircut can make all the difference when it comes to feeling confident and stylish, especially if you’re experiencing hair loss. Choosing a cut that complements your natural hair pattern can create the illusion of fullness and shape. We’re sharing 3 styles that are not only easy on the eyes but healthy for your hair. Let’s get into it.
The Buzz Cut:
This classic, low-maintenance cut is a favorite for a reason. It works well with thinning hair, making your hair loss less noticeable and giving you a sleek, timeless look.
The Textured Crop:
For those who prefer a bit more hair, the textured crop adds volume and dimension. Ask your barber to cut your hair in layers to create movement and a thicker appearance.
The Shaved Head:
If you’re ready to embrace a completely clean look, shaving your head can be liberating. It’s bold, modern, and eliminates the worry of thinning hair.
