Does me having a widow's peak naturally benefit my chances at all for keeping my hair longer than someone without it?

Question

My mother and her parents both still have their hairlines as well

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, a widow's peak isn't correlated to keeping hair growth. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hair loss expert to go over your condition and advise you on best treatment options. In our office, we use progesterone and prp with great results. Hair transplantation is an alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Craig L. Ziering, DO · Answer

No, there is no correlation between a widows peak and potential for future hair loss, or lack thereof.  If you are experiencing hair loss now, or hair loss within your family, the best course of action is to have an in-person evaluation by a hair loss expert since early intervention is the best way to minimize your loss and maximize the retention of your hair.

Stefan Rene Adair, MD · Answer

Widows peak does not affect your hair loss pattern. Hair loss is inherited from both sides of your family. Best of luck.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

No, a widow's peak is a feature of hairline maturation which is independent of androgenetic alopecia. The two are unrelated.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

There is no connection between your widows peak and your ability to grow out your hair. Your question needs clarification
