If you are not suffering from hair loss but instead have fine/thin textured hair, you are in luck as this year’s big trend for men – the short back and sides – works brilliantly with this hair type. Check in with a hairdresser or barber, establish that they are up to the job and get them to take the sides down to the wood (close to the skin), tapering up to a longer length on top. If possible keep the fringe long, and ask for the hair on top to be left long but layered with a small amount of texturizing.

Using some product, wear your hair in a low side parting and either swept back from the parting or left across the forehead. If you don?t feel brave enough to take the sides down to wood then keep more length and sweep it back.

The key points to bear in mind with fine and thin hair are:

• Not too much texturizing.
• Keep with stronger looking shapes and outlines.
• Please no ponytails or extra-long hair.

For those of you who have lost some hair density, taking it close all over looks great. As with fine hair, shorter styles look best and make sure you keep it cut regularly. Neat styles are good – again no ponytails unless you are a B-Movie mafia gangster.

With less or no hair through the top, even up your complexion by using a gradual tanning moisturiser – this will help soften the effect of having so much skin on show and also looks more youthful. If you like the sun but don?t want to be wearing a hat day in day out then try Headblade HeadShade SPF-15 sunscreen. This for me has to be the product of the year; with skin cancer on the up, head shavers need to protect. This after shave sun screen moisturiser is the best on the market, whilst it is also water/sweat resistant and has an added anti-ageing agent – so at least your head will stay looking younger.
