A receding hairline is when the hair at the front of the head moves back over time, often in a distinct pattern. It's common in men as they age.
A receding hairline is a common condition where the hair at the front of the head slowly moves backward. This is often seen in men as they grow older and is a natural part of hair maturation. The process can be influenced by genetics and hormones.
Understanding a receding hairline can help in recognizing normal hair maturation versus hair loss conditions that might need medical advice. If you have concerns about hair loss, consider speaking with a healthcare provider for guidance.
