Hairline Recession

Hairline Recession: What It Is and Why It Happens

Hairline recession is when hair around the temples or front hairline gradually becomes less dense.

It can happen in both men and women, but patterns differ.

Common signs

• temples look lighter

• hairline looks uneven

• more scalp visible near the front

• baby hairs feel weaker or shorter
  

  Common reasons

  • genetics / hormonal sensitivity

  • styling tension (tight ponytails)

  • scalp inflammation

  • postpartum changes (in women)

  What helps

  • reduce tension hairstyles

  • keep scalp clean

  • consistent scalp support routine

  • patience (hairline changes are slow)
