Wide Temples and Balding

Hello Dr. Rassman,

I have always had a big forehead and relatively wide temples. I am 29 and my head looks kind of like the second stage of hair loss diagram. I think my hair may be a bit thinner than say 5 years ago, but not too sure.

My question is, do men with wide temples always end up balding? or is it possible that some men just have a large forhead and big temples without ever balding…

Size and shape of the head are not indicative of future hair loss, as there is no relationship between the two. Some men do have large foreheads or an abnormal shape of the head accentuating the detectability of receding hairlines. Some of those men more sensitive to the impact of hair loss on their ‘look’.
