Do the Corners Recede First in a Maturing Hairline?

hi doc.with regards to a mature hairline, do the corners recede first and the middle afterwards or should the hairline all recede at the same time? as the corners recede further than the centre i am assuming they recede first,is this correct?? Thanks

A maturing hairline is not related to balding. It occurs as early as in the teenage years to the early twenties and may complete as late as 30. It may start from the corners or from the middle or both. In general, the corners seem to recede or thin out slightly faster causing one to panic and think they are going bald. The Norwood Class 3 balding pattern does have corner recession as well. When I see these patients in my office for a miniaturization study, I find that most of the time the miniaturization of their hair is only limited to the very front (indicating that they are likely not balding) if it is just a maturing hairline.
