The visual interest created by this burst fade haircut helps minimize the perceived size of your forehead, harmonizing your appearance. Faded sides with longer hair on top is also a great idea for men with thin hair.

Adding texture on top with layers and a short fringe can help draw attention away from your forehead, creating a well-balanced and stylish look. Not to mention that fringe cuts are high on trend now.

Finding a good hairstyle does not always mean hiding prominent features. Instead, you might want to make your forehead look higher and more pronounced. For men with straight hair, we suggest this timeless flat-top haircut.
@barbercar_
This modern and stylish hairstyle is perfect for men with medium-length hair. To recreate this look, start by lifting your hair at the roots with a brush or comb and tousling the strands with your hands. Then, fix the brushed-up style with the styling product that suits your hair type.
@jelena_vukovic_
The textured, choppy fade style becomes a focal point of this dapper look. While this haircut can suit all face shapes, it can be especially beneficial for men with oval faces.
@leticiayez
A crew haircut can come in different variations, depending on a men’s face shape and features. This cut with a longer rounded section at the front and gently tapered sides and back forms an aesthetically pleasing silhouette.
@michelle.k.harrison
The longer, messy top in this faded style helps break the visual continuity of the forehead, making it seem less prominent. The short sides help the hairstyle look neat and well-groomed.
@nevilleromanzammit
The choppy texture and the strategic fade in this haircut create a dynamic and eye-catching style that flatters men with round faces. A platinum color can also give your hair a more textured and voluminous look.

Long layered bangs can effectively cover the top third of your face, thus balancing your face shape and complementing facial features. Overall, this trendy mullet haircut brings a lot of texture and movement to the medium hair, adding some boldness to your look.

To create this delightful male haircut, Sébastien Martel combined a super varied palette of techniques, including trimming, razor cutting, and sectioning. The stylist also cut some curtain bangs to balance his client’s forehead shape.
@seb_martell
The haircut you see here offers a neat and short appearance while providing some room for styling. It can work perfectly for those with thick hair, as accurate layering helps you get rid of excessive hair bulkiness.
@caliberhairstudio
Short, messy hairstyles with texture create a youthful and unique tousled finish that can soften your features. Use a texturizing spray or mousse for a more laid-back and effortless appearance.
@leticiayez
Brushing and styling the hair upward can create a volume that becomes a focal point of the hairstyle. This is what makes this pompadour made by a British barber, Kyle Rowland, ideal for enhancing facial features.
@bk_barber_
If you aim to give your short, straight hair a more textured look, consider this popular high fade style. Use hair gel to create spikes on your hair and fix it with a hair spray for a long-lasting effect.
@gentiluomobarbershop
Markus Salm‘s mullet, featuring short contour areas, a well-structured top, and a fringe covering the prominent forehead can help you stand out from the crowd. The combination of cool blonde color with warm tones and shadow roots contributes to more depth and a smooth transition to the short sides.
@official_markus_salm
Here, you can see how a buzz cut can be flattering with a gradual fade on the sides and back. The fading creates a horizontal visual effect, with the skin fade helping to balance the overall proportions of the face.
@dean_gleeson_
This fade haircut can minimize the visibility of a wider and bigger forehead. Experiment with different lengths to give this cut a personalized look and complement your hair thickness.
@bk_barber_
This low-maintenance haircut is suitable for different features and goes well with facial hair. Ask to buzz the top short and shave the sides and back for a seamless gradient between the bare skin and the short top.
@barbercar_
This versatile cut not only aligns with current trends but also allows you styling freedom. Keep it clean on the sides and define curls on top to accentuate the shape of your stylish haircut.
@eastonhair
A French crop haircut is highly adaptable and can be modified to fit different face shapes. To add interest to this hairstyle, dye the top in bright blonde, contrasting with your natural dark beard style.
@vbodnarr
A blowout fade is a fantastic option because it adds volume up top and keeps the sides clean and tight. This draws attention upward, balancing everything out and making your overall look more proportional, without emphasizing any one feature too much.
@top_shelf.cuts
The Caesar cut is a practical and stylish choice. The cut combines the equally cut short hair at the top, a mid fade, and a cropped fringe that partly covers the forehead.
@seecarlcut
If you are looking for a unique and statemental haircut, pay attention to hairstyles with cornrows. To refresh the style, shave the sides and collect your hair at the back for a man bun look.
@marquinhos_afrohair
A comb-over style, paired at the side and complemented with a low fade, strikes the right balance by shifting the focus to the well-groomed style. The style also looks very neat and elegant on men that wear glasses.
@rottenbarber
All these hairstyles are tailored to match your head shape and complement a prominent forehead. Whatever option you choose, a fresh haircut can always give you much confidence and contentment with your style!
