I have a widow's peak in my hairline that makes it awkward to part my hair when it reaches a certain length. Anyone know good hairstyles that will minimize the widow's peak? Anyone else have this problem?

Number 1 does it for me. Added bonus of little to no maintenance

That will probably look great on you.


But on a serious note look around for pics celebs that have a widows peak. If they are bigtime they probably have professional stylists who know how to minimize the peak. Try to mimic their cuts.

I grow my hair out, with a decent cut and some length a widows peak can be made far less obvious.

Best option so far.

+1. I have a widows peak, and it looks badass with a number 1. Kind of like Zinedine Zidane.

^^ it's hard to get away with clipped hair unless your facial proportions are perfect. Zidane here has a great facial shape and symmetrical cheekbones.

Keanu Reeves does it fine.

try a buzz cut.

I might be biased because I have a buzz cut.

Good advice, I think some men overlook this idea. However, I wouldn't say there's a need for perfections, more like defined and well proportioned.

No perfection required, but don't go for it if you have a weird shaped head... And don't let the facial hair get longer than the head hair... Is it just me, or do bald dudes with beards always look strange?
