I’m 21 and I am super particular about my hair. I have always wanted to make sure that it is as good as it can be. For some reason, it seems to look like it has been receding. Am I right or just overthinking? I’ve always wanted to maintain a tight hairline, but it seems that it is slowing moving back. What would be the best recommended protocol for maintaining and/or improving my hairline?
Answer: Hair Loss Because you are a bit young, it may be too soon to tell, especially because no before photos were provided.

Answer: Hair loss Thank you for your question. The best thing to do would be to speak to hair specialist provider who has many years experience treating hair loss. I would love to see Before pictures from years ago and compare. I would take note if there is hair shedding present that you are finding in your pillow or shower. You may need to speak to your provider to start over the counter Rogaine 5% twice a day. I would focus on lifestyle such as making sure you a balanced healthy diet such as the Mediterranean diet, veggies, enough healthy protein, FIBER is huge for overall feeding the microbiome of your stomach which has overall influence on how much inflammation your body produces and can lead to unhealthier scalp. Make sure you get enough sleep 7-8 hours.. not getting enough sleep increases the stress hormones such as cortisol and attack your hair follicle. I would look into nutraceutical as well without BIOTIN. Contrary to popular belief many people take supplements such as biotin which can interfere with other markers in your body such as thyroid, cardiac markers and even produce certain types of acne. Check with your primary care your vitamin D levels, iron, thyroid to make sure that is not affecting your scalp too. Minoxidil +/- Low Light Laser therapy are FDA approved, PRP has many clinical trials showing efficacy for treatment of hair loss but can vary and is not FDA approved for hair loss but has FDA indications for other areas of the body.

Answer: Receding hairline; balding or maturing? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey In younger individuals, the hairline usually begins at the topmost wrinkle of the forehead. As one ages, the hairline recedes to 1/2 to 3/4 inch above this wrinkle line. Should the hair recede a greater distance or the temples and peaks get involved, this suggests male pattern baldness. A hair expert can do a microscopic examination and look for miniaturization associated with male pattern hair loss. It is difficult to determine from your photo, but it appears from your distribution that you are beginning to start the hair loss process. An in-person consultation is suggested.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself All-star
