What Haircuts Suit a Receding Hairline?

Quick answer: Shorter styles such as a crop with a textured fringe, a short side part or a buzz cut tend to suit a receding hairline best, because they reduce contrast between temples and the rest of the hair; avoid long combed-over styles.
- Crop: Forward texture.
- Buzz: Clean, low contrast.
