I Turned 27 And I Am Concerned About My Hair Line Because Someone Commented On It
I have just turned 27 and I am concerned about my hairline . I have never really given it much thought but then someone commented on it and I noticed it is a triangle shape. I am concerned that I am going bald but have heard of the term mature hairline. I have drawn in a line to show my highest wrinkle. I am thinking about getting a hair transplant as the hairline looks rather odd. My crown is fine I think ! I have attached photos which may be of use. There are no bald people on either side of my family which is why I find it strange that I could be.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
If you are concerned about your hair line and considering a hair transplant, you should see a hair transplant surgeon. I don’t mean to sound obvious but there is not much I can say here. Balding occurs in the 20s for most men. From your picture there are two things happening: (1) your forelock comes down to the highest crease which indicates it is located where it was when you were 5 years old, and (2) you hairline on the corners is certainly receding upwards giving you a bizarre shape to the hairline that that makes it look pointed. If you transplant the frontal corners, you can move to a different hairline that better fits with your look. You are in your 20’s and that is when such frontal recession appears.
Looks like a matured hairline to me – not that you can’t consider a transplant anyway if it bothers you but that doesn’t look like balding at all – it’s just the forelock is so low and pointed it makes the corners seem more extreme but it’s not much above the top wrinkle and well within the images Dr Rassman has used to illustrate a maturing hairline before.
Hey nice to hear from you! Yeh I did think it was a mature hairline but have an appointment with Fargo clinic in London to get some clarity. If it is a mature hairline I would probably still investigate HT I will keep you update. :D
I am slightly concerned how Dr Rassman didn’t mention mature hairline I am worried that it looks like MpB in that case I wouldn’t bother having a transplant as it would just continue to progress.
Mature hair line or Juvenile hair line or Male Pattern Balding or just a high forehead it all may be overlapping.
We realize this is an obsession to many readers as we get photos sent daily. However, we don’t usually diagnose hair lines.
We are not here to assuage any insecurities of hair lines by categorizing what the hair line may or may not be or how much someone may continue to bald. This is impossible with just a photo.
More importantly, the decision to treat/ address any hair line issue with a hair transplant is between the patient and doctor.
I understand thanks so much for your advice. I am going to speak to a hair specialist (Fargo Clinic) soon. I am sure they will be able to advise on the next steps. I will update here as soon as I know more.
Thanks once again.
