A mature hairline is part of normal, healthy aging as you come into adulthood – its not hair loss. As most men this will happen between the ages of 17-30 and there is really nothing you can do about it. The main point here is that this occurs so you don’t panic unnecessarily, and so you aren’t blind to actual hair loss at a late stage.
What Is a Mature Hairline?
Almost all men have a very soft, rounded receding hairline that rests lightly on the brow during youth and childhood. As the body develops it will advance typically by one to two centimetres and assume a slightly more definitive shape. This is known as the mature hairline.
It is a naturally occurring phenomenon and no disorder with its presence.
There will be no thinning of hair, nor bald patches of hair that are dropped from the scalp. The side portions may develop a mild curve that indicates the receding hairline, and the outline will briefly look slightly M-shaped at the sides, but that will be the only alteration. The overall thickness and presence of hair on the head will remain identical. The alteration will be subtle in nature and usually stops and stabilises toward the late twenties in an equally balanced symmetrical manner.
What Is a Receding Hairline?
A receding hairline is a first symptom of male pattern baldness, also known by the medical term ‘androgenetic alopecia’. The receding hairline doesn’t just move; it continues moving backwards (usually unevenly or noticeably) and is also characterized by the fact that the strands of hair also get finer.
This is because there is a hormone know as DHT (dihydrotestosterone) that gradually makes hair follicles smaller and smaller, so without treatment this condition often develops into large areas of baldness on the crown of the head and on the top. The individual hair strands are also likely to look clearly shorter and shorter before stopping growing together.
Key Differences Between the Two
It really only comes down to progression and thickness to definitively tell the difference between a mature and receding hairline. A mature hairline moves backward by about an inch, and it stops moving. A receding hairline continues moving. Where the hairs were originally placed, they will retain their full thickness. A receding hairline will carry significant thinning with it.
Timing is also important. A mature hairline usually “lands” in either your late teens or mid-twenties. A receding hairline is age-defying in its onsets, but will inevitably begin once puberty has ended, and almost always has a genetic component that would be predicted by a bald father or uncle on either side of the family tree.
Why Does this Confusion Happen?
As most young guys will notice their hairline start to move in their twenties (sometimes as early as teens), the immediate fear is loss, and this is understandable, although not always the reality. What can go wrong with this is leaving it too long and missing the window for treatment if it turns out to be an actual condition. In terms of practice, taking monthly photographs, at exactly the same lighting condition, from exactly the same angle is a good way of monitoring if the hairline is still moving beyond 25/26, especially if there is thinning appearing. If there is movement and thinning beyond these ages then this is where a specialist consultation should be made.
When Should You See a Hair Specialist?
There’s reason to get an assessment from a doctor if; you’ve been experiencing a visually changing hairline for more than 6 months, if you are shedding more hair than you ever thought could be collected from your shower drain or your pillow and/or there is thinning showing at the crown area that accompanies your receding hairline. It’s never too early to obtain accurate medical diagnosis to access a broad range of solutions from prescription medications to sophisticated hair restoration pro
