Rather it is a symptom of an underlying condition (nearsightedness). But this is not a normal maturation process. Many, if not most people, will require reading glasses at some point. While a receding hairline is very common, it is not a normal maturation process. This leads to a noticeably larger forehead. Often the hairline recedes several centimeters. The other important feature of a receding hairline is that the retreat can be substantial. Some people also call this “widow’s peak”. This creates a characteristic M-shape pattern. And the area that almost always retreats more is the temple area. Sometimes the hairline moves very unevenly. Some parts retreat far more than others.
The temple area might recede a bit more, but the hairline still looks like a relatively straight line. Secondly, the hairline retreats more or less evenly. Firstly, the retreat is moderate, around 1 to 2 centimeters. Maturing hairlines have two characteristics. This is what we call a maturing hairline ( 1). It is a natural part of maturing, like developing a hairy chest or a deep voice. This process will happen for nearly all males. This is identical in both sexes: very low in the forehead and rounded (concave).Īs males enter late adolescence, the hairline will naturally recede. Where the hairline naturally lies will depend on genetics and other factors.Įarly in life, males and females have a so-called “juvenile hairline”. It is the line that separates your hair from your forehead. The hairline is a line of hair follicles that outline the outermost edges of your hair. You can also watch our video on the topic:
