What is a good hair cut/style for a man with a big head and thinning hair/receding hairline?

I'm asking you guys because every time my hubby goes to get a haircut they give him a really stupid looking one. It always makes his head look bigger and they'll cut it short but give him this longer fringe in the front, I don't know if they're trying to hide the receding hairline (it's still in the early stages, it's not bad by any means) and to me it just looks plain ridiculous.





So there it is. He has straight, dark hair. Thinner hair, but not too thin. Early stages of receding hairline. LARGE head. He wears a mustache and a goatee/beard thingy. He has a weaker type chin, so the goatee/beard thingy balances out the rest of his face.





I hope I gave a good enough description, if you have questions just ask and I will add details.





Thanks so much! :)What is a good hair cut/style for a man with a big head and thinning hair/receding hairline?
There's a couple of options for this look, since it is actually very popular and adaptable (the goatee-with-thinner-hair- look :). One option (especially if he's got a good-sized crown) would be to try shaving it bald; this can be a very youthful and flattering look on the right man. Another option (and maybe one to try first, since it involves keeping some of the hair), would be to cut it relatively short on the sides, and then leaving just a few millimetres longer on top, then texturizing the hair on top to give more volume and lift. This will flatter the hairline without emphasizing it (think Bruce Willis). The most important thing to remember with thin hair (especially paired with a receding hairline) is that you never want the hair to be too long, or too much at the same length, or else they will tend to clump together and expose more of the scalp, making it look even thinner. When you texturize with layers, it allows movement and gives the illusion of thickness and volume. To style, you will want to use just the very smallest amount of pomade, rubbed into the palms and then just touched onto random places on the hair to allow it to have that sexy, bedhead look.
