The central part of the hairline has a different genetic code in many people. When it is small, I call it a persistent forelock, but when it is large, it takes on a different appearance, though it still has the genetic code of a persistent forelock. What you are describing is such a phenomenon. The […]

Click the photos to enlarge: The photos are a little blurry, but it appears that your hairline is just maturing. I didn’t post the photos from 2005 or 2009, because they were way too small for the site… but from 2005 to 2009, there did appear to be some hairline maturation. And now in […]
You can have both the appearance of a juvenile hairline and genetic male pattern balding occurring at the same time. Unless you have an examination and also followed over a course of a year, it is likely difficult to tell. Other factors, such as your age, family history, degree/pattern of miniaturization, and even bulk measurements […]
When you age from the teenage years to your twenties, your hair can recede a bit. This does not mean you are balding and you probably do not go through the miniaturization process. How this happens is not an exact science. I would say your very front hairs will thin out over time as it […]
I have not seen miniaturization in those undergoing the shift from a juvenile to mature hairline as a rule. It just falls out without miniaturization, but this is not an all or nothing statement as miniaturization could occur.
Without seeing you, I can not determine if your requests are reasonable. If you lost frontal hair, a hair transplant may bring you back towards your original look. Removing a widow’s peak is possible, but that may not be what you really need.
I have described the mature hairline here and here, however, I do not believe anyone really knows (including me) the exact order or timeframe in which a maturing hairline develops. Medicine is a descriptive science at times, and sometimes all I can do is describe what I have seen and observed. Experience shows that the […]
The maturing hairline usually completes the process by the time you reach 30 years old, but there are always exceptions to this. There are some primates that develop a mature hairline or even balding when they pass puberty so we are really not that unique. Hair on your head will absolutely change as you get […]
I can imagine that some further changes in hairlines in non-balding men does occur with age. If it bothers you, it can most likely be fixed with hair transplants, but if you are just curious, you can follow any further changes and act when and if it does bother you.
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 […]
The answer to both questions is no, but a good Master Plan should be made with sound metrics on the mapping of your scalp for miniaturization to cover you in the future if you should develop hair loss. For more about the maturing hairline, see Maturation of a Hairline — Moving From Juvenile to Mature.
It is understandable that you do not like your current hairline, but even with no evident balding in your family, you may have genetic male pattern balding. It is difficult to tell how bald you may or may not be at such a young age. At the least, you need a miniaturization study, a good […]
Normal male hairline progression from a juvenile to a mature one typically occurs between 17 and 29 years of age. The lowest line in the photo below is the hairline this man had when he was about 12 years old. The second line is the hairline that will be his mature hairline if he is […]
There is some good teaching in your photos. This is an outstanding regrowth of hair from microneedling and minoxidil. I want to call your attention to the corner area which received microneeding beyond (below) the natural adult mature hairline, which did not bring back the hair to the full extent of the microneddling. It is […]
I wrote an article about hairlines and how they evolve. The word “Evolve” suggests that there is a starting point, so when women find that their hairline recedes, similar to some balding men, they are alarmed. This was the case in the first patients shown below, whose hairline had some hairline recession laterally and superiorly. […]
