What Makes the Buzz Cut a Top Choice for Thinning Hair?
The buzz cut is a go-to for guys with thinning hair who want something simple and always in season. This low-maintenance style is a popular choice for many because of it checks all the boxes:
Evens everything out, seamlessly blending in thinning spots for a polished look.
Flatters a variety of face shapes due to its versatile style.
Keeps your hair care routine quick and easy.
Pair your buzz cut with a sharp beard or some stubble for instant style points and extra definition. And for even more ideas, check out our blog to find your perfect hair and beard combo!
Looking for Some Length? Here’s Why the Crew Cut Works.
Just because you are experiencing balding, that doesn’t mean that you need to lose your length. The crew cut is the ideal choice for anyone looking to keep their hair longer on top. This style is:
Short on the sides and back, with just enough hair on the crown to style.
Great for creating the illusion of volume.
Timeless and naturally blends with a receding hairline.
Adding a dollop of Latitude Matte Texture Clay to this cut will add texture and fullness, making thinning hair look thicker and more styled. The perfect touch to your new look!
How Can a Fade Help with Thinning or Balding Spots?
This classic haircut comes in a variety of styles, so you’ll never have to struggle with finding one that's right for your look! Start with this simple overview:
Short fade: Features hair that gradually gets shorter down the sides and back.
Bald fade: Blends the hair right down to the skin.
Both styles: Make balding spots less noticeable and give your hair a crisp, clean finish.
The Latitude by Great Clips Leave-In Conditioner is highly recommended by users and stylists to help moisturize a bald scalp. It restores moisture and provides relief for dry scalp, while also strengthening the hair that’s there with natural ingredients like jojoba and biotin. Interested in trying a different fade?

What Makes the Combover a Go-To for Fuller-Looking Hair?
The combover is a popular style that uses longer strands on top, swept to one side, to camouflage thinning areas. This creates the illusion of more volume for guys who want fuller-looking hair. Elevate this look by taking these simple steps:
Use Online Check-In to get a side part haircut at your local Great Clips.
Grab a bottle of the Latitude by Great Clips Firm Style Gel to keep longer strands in place so they cover receding areas without falling flat throughout the day.
Lifting hair at the roots with your fingers while blow-drying can help create a fuller-looking combover, and your stylist can recommend at-home techniques that fit your lifestyle.
