What Are the Early Signs of a Receding Hairline?
Quick answer: Early signs of a receding hairline include the temples moving back into an M shape, finer and shorter hairs at the front, the hairline looking uneven in photos, and more scalp visible when hair is wet; comparing photos over months is the most reliable check.
- Mature vs receding: A mature hairline moves up slightly and evenly; recession continues.
- Track: Monthly photos.
