I do not believe you are understanding the difference between the mature hairline and male pattern baldness (MPB). Most Caucasians (95%) will have a mature hairline as they “mature” from their teens to twenties, but about half of the men will have genetic balding, otherwise known as androgenic alopecia (AGA) or male pattern baldness (MPB) […]

There is no way to answer to your question without a good physical exam, which includes a miniaturization study. To better assess the hair loss you are noticing we would need to compare your miniaturization state before you started Propecia and your miniaturization state now. Moreover, Propecia is not reported as effective on your frontal […]
Everyone varies. African hairlines are often flatter than northern European hairlines, so there is less a genetic propensity for the African hairline to behave as the photos show on the Maturation of a Hairline — Moving From Juvenile to Mature post. Still, although there are no absolute statistics, I believe that the mature hairline takes […]
Yes, the mature hairline can be filled in with transplants. I generally restrict those types of surgeries in people your age, because we really do not know what the balding pattern will be. You do not want a youthful hairline (reversing the mature hairline with transplants) and then be bald behind it. Your hairline would […]
Sounds like it. Is there balding in the family on either side? That could impact what will happen to you if there is.
If you lost your child hairline at 13 years old and your classmates laughed at you, you will now have the last laugh at those who were cruel. Hair loss can start in the teens, although it is highly unusual. The usual story is that there are two things going on at one time. The […]
We are all unique individuals and you may just have a higher hairline than others. If you send me photos of your face from the eyebrows up, I will give you an opinion about your hairline. Please take at least 2 pictures — one with your eyebrows lifted up as you look up, and the […]
This is a very good question. Yes, you can experience balding at the same time that a maturing hairline develops.
Many of my younger readers of this blog are seeing changes in their hairlines and are worrying about becoming bald. The problem is made worse when there is balding in their family line. I have placed three diagrams taken from the Norwood Classification for hair loss. By conventional wisdom, the Class 1 pattern is proposed […]
Everybody is different! You may recede to a Norwood Class 3 and stay that way for the rest of your life. Your hair loss should stablize by your late 30’s. If you are still concerned about hair loss, you may benefit from seeing a doctor who can quantitatively record the miniaturization of your scalp hair […]
There are men that do not ‘grow up’ from a hair line perspective, so you can get reconstructive hair transplant surgery to bring back that old child-like hairline. While it is respectable that you do not want a mature hair line, it is something most hair transplant doctors do not treat, but something that I […]
I have transplanted the juvenile hairline back in some men, but I do so only under certain conditions: There is no evidence of advanced balding either on examination or in the family line. I want to get to know the patient and he must be mature and able to understand the ‘worst case’ scenario that […]
I still dont know if my hairline is maturing or if I’m balding. I wanted to know if hairline maturation occurred via miniaturization of the follicles? Not always. Sometimes hairlines just recede without miniaturization. A mature hairline is located in the middle just one finger width above the highest crease of your furrowed brow with […]
I really do not know if finasteride can stop the maturing of a hair line in men. I have never had the opportunity to use it for this purpose, but I would expect that a maturing hair line will evolve even if you are on this drug. The reason I believe this, is that maturing […]
Unlike the male’s mature hairline which is V shaped, the female hairlines are usually rounded. The rounded hairline may move upward and in most women who are under 40, the upward movement does not change the rounded shape. If by chance you do not follow this rule of thumb, you can always have hair transplants […]
