Hair receding noticeably more on one side, suggestions on hairstyles/cuts

[shoulderpet]

Hi all
Have noticed recently that I am receding more on one side than the other, one side is receding but not too a level that bothers me, the other side is a little more than I would like, I have a face that suits pomps and quiffs and would like to avoid buzzing it all off although I am tempted to buzz the back and sides short and leave the top long.
Am after suggestions on hair styles/cuts that will help make this issue less apparent , pic below but looks worse in person, thanks

Wear your hair shorter. That's what I would do. A flat cap would be good as well.

Look up using Retin A and Nizoral shampoo on the area in question. I use both on the forehead for oily skin and also the receding area of the scalp. Not a miracle but I have seen my hairline move a bit forward or am imagining it.

Thanks I will give Nizarol a try

I'm going to disagree with some of the advice above. Wearing a "flat cap" just shouts "my hair is thinning under this cap and I'm insecure about it".

As long as your hair is just receding I'd suggest doing nothing about it. It is what it is. You are getting older, don't try to fight it. When/if you get to the point where it is really thin on top you might cut it shorter but you don't ever really need to buzz it too drastically.

A few people look better when they buzz their thinning hair but most don't. Just go with the flow. As you get older and your hair thins...that's fine. That's what guys look like as they get older. Your hair will turn grey and then white and it will then match your scalp a little better.

Look at older guys (I am one now).Those who keep their hair shorter but not buzzed and who are secure acting don't have hair issues. Those who are too worried about it either over-react and shave their head or wear a buzz-cut or start wearing caps all the time, even indoors.

Don't over-react and just don't be the guy with really long hair when most of his head is bald. Guys who react to these things too much aren't hiding anything from anyone other than themselves.
