Widow’s Peak is not a new name to men around the world but what many do not know is how the term came about. The Widow’s Peak refers to the downward V-shape that you see in a person’s hairline. It was believed that a woman with that kind of a hairline would outlive her husband as the V-shape reminded of the similarity of the veil that is worn during mourning. Now, coming to the practical aspect of it, the actual cause of the thing is believed to be genetic and, as such some men have it and some do not. But just because you have that kind of a hairline, does not mean that you have any lack in style options.

The Widows Peak Hairstyles show you how to utilize the potential of the patches to the full extent. Since, you really can’t do much about it, it is better to take it in stride.

Widows Peak Hairstyles for Men

Swept Back Quiff Haircut

The hairstyle has been shown on dark hair around here but it will look equally good on brunette hair. Getting the hairstyle is really simple too and you do not need to have too much hassle to flaunt this style. Take a thick-toothed comb and brush all your hair backwards. This is suitable for medium length of hair and the sides must be kept a bit shorter in length than the rest of the hair for this particular look.

Slick Back Hair

The slicked back look never went out of fashion and this hairstyle right here proves the reason why. This is such a neat and polished look that it is sure to appeal your sense of style. The widow’s peak gives a nice geometric edge to the hairline. For this hairstyle, you will need to add the extra shine to your hair apart from the natural glossiness that it has. This one shows you how to work the widow’s peak in your favor.

Hairstyle for Thin Hair

Thin hair coupled with widow’s peak is one of the most common hair problems among men. But do not let that feel like you have limited hairstyle options. Try this style and you will surely love the look it brings. There is an elegance and minimalism to the hairstyle that catches the eye. Keep the length of the hair medium and make a parting to the left. Puff up the hair a bit and brush it to one side.

Messy Hairstyle with Angular Fringe

Getting your hair all messy is one of the tried and tested ways to hide the widow’s peak. This hairstyle takes it a step further and adds fringes to the hair. The messed-up hair looks really sexy and does not even take too much of a time to get done. Take some hair gel or wax between you palms and rub it on your hair. Use the brush to bring the hair in front and then use your fingers to mess it up.

Widows Peak Hairstyle with Undercut

The undercut is another clever way of flaunting your widow’s peak. The thing that you need to ask your hairstylist to do is start the undercut right from the patch. This amalgamates the patch into the hairstyle making it hard for anyone else to notice that you ever had a widow’s peak. The longer portion of hair that you have in the center is swept back by using hair wax. The volume of the hair makes up for any thinness.

Short Spiky Haircut

Going all out spiky can be tricky and if you want something that is safe for all occasions, an all-out spiky hairstyle is definitely not that. However, if you really have your eyes set on getting spiky, then try this style with short spikes. The spikes are made only in front and they are pointed in no particular direction. This hairstyle suits men of all ages so do not think that spikes would be too much for you.

Side Swept Hairstyle

The more volume to get in your hair and the messier you make, the better are your chances of covering up those patches in front. So, go ahead and make the hair all tousled and roughed up all over. Sweep the hair to a side but do it carefully to hide the patches. You can experiment with colors for this hairstyle. Add some light colored highlights against the dark backdrop of your hair but make sure you follow the balayage style.

Classic Men Hairstyle

Just make a parting on one side and then puff up the hair on the other side while sweeping it on one side.

Upscale Mohawk Hairstyle

Getting an actual high Mohawk look can be problematic if you suffer from thin hair. But you can always get a modern spin on the typical Mohawk and make it suitable for you. The upscale Mohawk can be the savior that you are looking for.

Side Part Comb Over Hairstyle

The comb over hairstyle has many variants and this right here is one of the many variants that you see trending in the present times.

Brush Up Hair with Beard

The X-factor to certain hairstyles is added by the beard that goes with it and this one here is one of those hairstyles.

The perfectly trimmed beard gives the look certain aura of personality and class. A man with this look will definitely stand out.
