Is It a Mature Hairline or a Receding Hairline?
Quick answer: A mature hairline typically rises evenly by around a finger-width from the adolescent hairline and then stabilises, while a receding hairline keeps moving back, often deeper at the temples, with miniaturised hairs; if in doubt, track it with photos or ask a professional.
- Even vs deep temples: Recession is usually deeper at the temples.
- Miniaturisation: Thin, short hairs are a sign of pattern loss.
- When to act: Earlier is easier.
