"Most men spend years dreading the day they’ll begin to lose their hair, but it’s a style that looks incredibly handsome on the right man."

Before taking the plunge, men must ensure they enlist the help of a barber they know and trust.

The experts said that a man's regular barber should know their lifestyle and be familiar with their head shape. They should also be able to decide if it’s the right cut for the individual.

According to the hair gurus, those willing to leap will enjoy a "low-maintenance cut that’s bound to turn heads".

For those who aren't quite ready to get rid of their hair completely, the buzz cut makes for a good compromise.

While this haircut won't hide baldness, the hairline becomes "far less noticeable" when the hair is so short.

Other haircuts that work for men with receding hairlines include the high fade, short shag, Caesar and lumberjack.

With a high fade, the hair is very short at the sides but kept long on top. A short shag is essentially an "on-trend" combover.

A Caesar haircut was very popular in the 90s but still looks great nowadays on men whose hair is starting to recede. The cut achieves an undefined hairline as the hair is brushed forward.

Finally, a lumberjack haircut is similar to a high fade in that it is cut low on the sides and left long on top. However, according to the experts, a lumberjack haircut is not quite complete without a big, impressive beard. Not only does a beard look great, it also diverts attention from a receding hairline.
