Scalp Micropigmentation

How to choose the right hairstyle after scalp pigmentation


The question of hairstyles when considering how to look better with your scalp micropigmentation is important, and thankfully you do not have to contemplate it alone. When you entrust your scalp micropigmentation treatment to compassionate experts like those at Luxe Micro, you will have a detailed discussion with your personal consultant before any final decisions are made.

What hairstyles can I choose after scalp micropigmentation?

At the end of the day, your choice of hairstyle, once your scalp micropigmentation treatment is finished, is going to be largely dependent on several factors, namely:


  • Current hairstyle
  • Level of hair loss
  • Future treatment goals



There is no sense in deciding to have a hairstyle that your existing hair growth will not allow for or will look too obvious and disharmonious. Remember, scalp micropigmentation is effectively a tattoo on your scalp, and it can only darken and bolster areas of thinning hair to make them appear more luscious or give the appearance of stubble on an otherwise bald pate.

Think ahead

If you plan to have more treatments as time passes, it makes sense to choose a hairstyle that compliments the effect as it is at the time. You can always alter it as the treatments progress, although if planning to grow your hair longer and use scalp micropigmentation treatments to mask obvious gaps, you might start growing your locks early. It varies from client to client, and that’s why the consultation process is so important and hugely beneficial, especially for those on the fence about how to proceed. Here are some other options to consider:

Crew cut

Luckily, there is no doubt a shaved head looks clean and natural and tends to suit most men. If in doubt, there is always the crew cut to fall back on if you do not like the hairstyle you initially choose after your skin micropigmentation. So go into the process without fear and try to achieve the style you really want before falling back on easier ones.


Shaving the head doesn’t have to involve a sharp razor, leaving nothing behind. Experiment with different lengths using an electric shaver/trimmer and find the style that suits you best. Scalp micropigmentation treatment is there to boost any areas that need a little assistance and give you that fresh ‘buzz-cut’ look that is so classic and easy to maintain.

Thinning at the sides

This is not typical of male-pattern baldness, but it is certainly possible you have a decent volume of hair on top and less at the sides. In this case, it gives great potential for almost any style on top and you might use scalp micropigmentation treatments to boost the appearance of shorter hair at the sides.

Thinner on top

Again, if you have enough volume to support length at the sides, it may be perfectly possible to create the impression of more volume up top and not necessitate a shorter style all over. It is a great place to sneak in some treatment and create a convincing effect, but be realistic and accept that darker areas underneath longer hair will not necessarily look as convincing as hair that is more uniformly short all over.

Accept your limitations

Let’s face it, if you have come to the conclusion you want scalp micropigmentation, then you have accepted your situation for what it is and that is always for the best. Too many men remain in denial about their hair loss and make poor decisions trying to maintain an image or style nature no longer allows for. Much better to accept this as part of life that so many men experience and embrace your options moving forwards. But there is no shame in getting a helping hand to make your hair look thicker and more even, and that is where we come in.
