11) Short Silver Hair

As hair naturally becomes finer or develops gray tones, this haircut works with those changes instead of hiding them. The slight height at the front balances facial proportions while the side sweep softens stronger facial features. Men with round faces also benefit because the extra lift on top creates the illusion of a slightly longer and slimmer face.
