Does a Hairline Visibly Mature?
I have an interesting question about the mature hairline:
When a hairline is “maturing” (receding of the hairline, like in your other article) , does it happen just like that (over a period of time of course) or can the person also SEE the miniaturization of the hair happening? (ex; under a bright light)
Thanks in advance
Sure, you can see and even feel the thinning miniaturized hair some of the time. Most men and women who are losing hair will comment that they notice their hair “feels” thinner in diameter and it often slows down its growth; maybe even stops growing before it falls out. The maturing hairline usually occurs prior to the age of 29 and may take as long as 10 years to appear.
For more on the maturing hairline, please see Maturation of a Hairline — Moving From Juvenile to Mature.
I’m confused. How does one differentiate between a maturing hairline and balding/receding hairline (that is, short of having miniaturization mapped)? Is the furrowed browline test generally an adequate way to determine if you are balding or simply having your hairline mature?
