Hey, just wondering if your at a NW2, and you styled your hair in a caesar fashion. Would the temples of doom still be noticable? I am considering growing my hair this way because I can't stand seeing my temples. I see alot of people with nice styles with the hair combed forward. Just hoping to experiment.

I wore a caesarian hairstyle for quite a while, and it worked for me.
I do have a suggestion, though. You know that there are cheap haircutters, local barbers, salons, and then you have your high-end salons. My suggestion is, if you can spare a one-time expenditure (and investment), make an appointment at one of the highest-end salons in your city. Just one appointment. And when you do, TELL the appointment-maker that you are a man with receeding and/or thinning hair, and you are specifically looking for a hairstylist that is experienced with MEN's hairstyling.
I did this, did it once, and got the greatest, most hairloss-minimizing haircut of my life. While she was doing it, I asked a lot of questions and tried to keep her talking about hair, men's hair, hairloss, and what she does to compensate for it.
After that, I went to a normal stylist (and, mind you, I DON'T just see the normal barber, nor do I see the top-end stylists, but someone in between) and made an appointment. I sat down in the chair, and told him exactly what I wanted. Clip this on the sides, even out the rear top, and in the front, clip off the slow-growing ends and thin out the center forehead "patch" so as to level the thickness out with the more thin temple areas.
In effect, I told the stylist to do what the high-end stylist did, telling my new "cheaper" stylist all of the talking points that I gleaned off of my expensive appointment.
The result, in my case, was that in addition to the normal cut, my thicker areas on the top of my head needed to be manually "thinned out" a bit with thinning shears as to make the density equivalent to the more marginal areas of my scalp. This gives me an optimum look.
And thus, here is my tip... Make an investment in a high quality hair session, maybe two, and take the lessons learned to your more financially accesible hairstylist.

I'm now a Norwood 3. I've been getting by for a while, or so i thought, but now I gotta face the music.
I tried buzzing it but I don't like how huge my forehead looks combined with my face.
I saw this video.
This looks like a Caesar style haircut, but the way it's done it's better than most I've seen.
Is it because the guy's hairline isn't that bad? Maybe he's only a Norwood 2?
Or is using the blowdryer and sculpting clay a trick that makes it look fuller and layered?
I want to grow my hair out a bit and try for a Caesar cut, but I don't want it to look like a desperate attempt to hide my balding.

I’m sure this is very useful for a dude who posted this 14 years ago
