We surveyed 11 men experiencing hair loss to learn their thoughts on comb-overs and spoke to two hairstylists about how to best style a comb-over if you want to try it out or what to do instead.

With this cut, you can expect to receive a longer guard, like a 2 or 3 all over. This haircut style for men also features hair on the back, sides and top at a uniform level, hence the name.

Stylish and low-maintenance, this men’s haircut allows natural curls to stay tight on top with a clean fade on the sides. It’s polished but celebrates natural texture.

Forget what you've heard about the comb-over. It is an increasingly popular hairstyle among young men and no longer just about covering bald spots, as seen here on David Beckham.

We asked barbers for everything you need to cut men’s hair at home, from Professional Cutting Scissors, to a one-size-fits-all comb, electric trimmer, clean-up brush and styling paste.
