What haircut would you recommend for someone with a high hairline? I'm not getting a hawk

I did search. Found nothing.

Thanks in advance

A high hairline can look quite regal with long hair. Check out Anders Manga:

Wait for Kontan to get on, he'd probably have some good ideas.

HumanePain, my brother has long blonde hair like that, but I think in his case it's because he's too lazy to get it cut rather than a positive style choice!

If we're talking a high hairline, which will have a nice well-defined hairline (rather than first signs of male pattern baldness which will have a thinning front) then it's a great setting for a long side-swept fringe / bangs. I'm talking classic goth style rather than some razor-cut emo swoop.

I believe the proper term is "fivehead".

I'm allowed to say that because my forehead is massive, and I'm not a dude. I s'pose a fringe isn't the best option for someone with a penis though.
Seriously though, guys are allowed to have big foreheads.

Seconded. You'd look like Lucius Malfoy. I recommend going all out and getting his pimp cane as well.

Picture appreciated =)

I have my hair combed forward, so I guess I have a slightly side-swept fringe.

I don't think that long hair-thingie is for me. I don't feel like looking like some bad guy from Harry Potter! At least not at the age I'm at.

You don't have to look like him, but his hair is divine.

Give me a head with hair! Long beautiful hair! Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen!

I have a big forehead. Not going bald, my hair line is still very intact but I have just always had a huge forehead. I have a simply side part in my bangs I have chin length hair. Middle parts to me always make a high hairline look even bigger, whereas a side part breaks it up a little. Also, the straight back look, hair pushed all back, it very nice looking too.

Well, the fringe does almost slightly look a little bit like mine! (erm..)

But I kinda felt like something entirely new! I think I failed to mention that something entirely new was something what I wanted, while I did not want to make the hairline look as bad as it is

I have a naturally high hairline too. Not super high, just a bit higher than I'd like. Some of my friends who have the same problem wear fringes, but I wouldn't recommend that if your face is quite round (like mine). I usually get around it my having my hair loose or side-parted and swept across so it looks like my hairline is a bit lower. Having long hair helps too.

After all, it was fashionable in the Rennaissance to actually shave your hair back from its natural hairline (yuk!), so you could always say you're following that style.
