I'm a 19 year old female and I've had this hairline for as long as I remember. I hate wearing my hair back, so I use my bangs to cover it. This is something I've wanted to change for a while now. I was wondering if there are any other options than surgery? Surgery would be the last resort! There are small baby hairs on the side on my hairline. Is there anyway to make these hairs grow without surgery?
Answer: Treating miniturization Hair can be miniaturized either congenitally (from birth) or as a part of the aging process. Regardless of the underlying cause, medical treatment can be initiated to increase the diameter and growth potential of the miniaturized follicle turning it into a large, thick terminal fiber.The best methods available to enlarged a miniaturized follicle are:1. Rogaine 5% - topically applied twice daily to spot of thinning/miniaturization. 2. PRP - use your own growth factors from your blood to stimulate growth. Can be microinjected into areas of miniturizatiion. 3. Light treatment - may not work with blonde hair. 4. Pills - as directed by your MD. As pills act thoughout the body, may treat the whole head rather than docused on the area of interest. May have side effects. Now, there is always a hair transplant - but, I agree that the medical methods should be tried first before choosing this option. Best of luck from Manhattan. Hope this answer helped you.Dr. Paul

Answer: A way to grow the hairline out on the sides you never get a result with medications like minox etc other than FUE hair restoration surgery.Hair grafting/ transplant can be an option or forehead reduction and correcting asymmetry on your frontal hair line/forelock.I advice you have a FUE; you would get the desired hairline in just one sesssion of dense packing hair transplant.
