Persistent Juvenile Hairline (with Photos)

This 27 year old man came to see me with this interesting hair loss pattern worthy of sharing with the BaldingBlog readers. Note that the first 3/4 inch of the frontal hairline is normal, but the thinning picks up just behind it and goes all the way back. If he let his hair grow longer, he might have been able to cover it with his hair combed back. Sooner or later he would lose more of it. Of particular interest, that frontal hairline may last his lifetime, while he could be completely bald behind that hairline if he does not treat it with finasteride. In taking the drug, he may actually return the thinning hair behind the frontal hairline, and if successful, no surgery would be required to accomplish this goal.
