Receding hairline in men: causes, symptoms and effective solutions
For many men, the receding hairline is an undesirable sign of aging and genetic predisposition. They are often the first sign of the onset of hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia.
Causes of a receding hairline in men
The main cause of a receding hairline is a genetically determined hypersensitivity of the hair roots to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a breakdown product of the male sex hormone testosterone. This leads to a shortened hair cycle, with hair falling out more quickly and hair follicles reducing or ceasing activity. In some men, this receding hairline can develop before the age of 20, and over time the hair loss can increase.
Symptoms and course
Hereditary hair loss initially manifests itself in the receding hairline and can then spread across the top of the head to the back of the head. In many cases, only a fringe of hair remains in the neck area, while complete baldness is rare.
Treatment options
There are different approaches to counteract hair loss:
- Nutrition and hormonal balance: Eating a balanced diet and balancing hormones can help slow or even reverse hair loss.
- Hair pigmentation: In this method, color pigments are introduced into the scalp, similar to a tattoo. This visually thickens the hair and conceals the receding hairline.
- Hair transplant: For men looking for a permanent solution, hair transplantation offers a way to take hair from an unaffected area (usually the back of the head) and transplant it into the bald areas.
