Haircuts For A Man With A Big Forehead

If you have a large or wide forehead, you can find haircuts that will flatter you. The key is to use your hair to draw attention away from your forehead. Wear your hair long or short, cut a variety of bangs and play with texture to achieve a more balanced look.

Bangs

Perhaps the best tool men have for minimizing a prominent forehead is bangs. Bangs cover a large forehead and draw attention to the haircut rather than to the forehead. There are endless ways to utilize bangs. Most men can pull off classic straight bangs, which should hang somewhere between the hairline and the eyebrows. Use hair gel and a comb to get straight bangs to hang in place.

For men with curly hair, layer bangs and allow them to curl up in different lengths. This look is masculine and allows you to spend less time fixing your hair. For most curly haircuts with layered bangs, run a little curling gel through your hair while it's damp and allow it to dry naturally.

For a trendy look, wear long, side-swept bangs. These bangs are usually quite thick and are paired with a side part. The bangs start at the part and go to the opposite side, sweeping over the eyes. Keep the rest of your hair long, with the bangs shorter than the rest of the hair, or short, with the bangs longer than the rest of your hair. Most men who wear long, side-swept bangs straighten their hair with a flat iron so that every hair will be in place.

Parts

Part your hair on one side or the other, not in the middle. No matter what texture or length your hair is, go with a side part, and allow one side of your hair to fall onto your forehead. This will cover and "break up" your forehead so that the entire forehead won't be seen.

Texture

Wear your hair either straight or curly. Wearing your hair straight is best if you want to wear your hair longer, to wear side-swept bangs, or to wear straight bangs. Straight hair can fall onto the forehead, which helps cover it.

If you wear your hair curly, your hair is more likely to have more volume. The more volume you have in your hair, the more the eye will be drawn to your hair and not to your forehead. If you want to wear your hair curly, ask your hairstylist not to thin your hair.

Facial Hair

Pay attention to your facial hair when you're thinking about a new haircut. Growing a mustache, beard or both can help draw the eye down toward your chin, instead of up toward your forehead.

Men with wide or long foreheads should avoid noticeable sideburns, which will draw attention to the forehead. Keep sideburns short and thin, or get rid of them, to keep the eye away from the forehead.
