Have you noticed that your hairline has receded a bit? Worried it could be balding? In that case, this is the article for you! Here you’ll find the exact difference between a mature hairline and male pattern baldness so you are correctly informed of what you’re noticing in your body.
Without further ado, let’s dig in.
Male hairline vs balding
The difference between the two is actually less subtle and more obvious.
The human male hairline changes a lot between ages 17-27. All human males with the exception of a very few, notice this change. You may find that your hairline recedes a bit evenly all across your forehead. You may even notice that the hairline has dipped slightly inward toward the temples.
All is well as long as your hairline has not stepped back by a clear 1.5 cms. This is the difference between male pattern baldness and a mature hairline.
Young men in the age group of 17-27 are said to be having maturing hairlines. And once the hairline changes stop you now have a mature hairline. This is the key difference in mature hairlines vs balding.
Types of hairlines and how they can confuse you sometimes
Now speaking of mature hairlines and balding, people usually get confused over why their hairline dips inward a bit too much at the temples. Or why their hairline seems to dip inward in the middle of their forehead.
So guys, listen up. All you need to check is for how far your hairline has receded compared to the past. And if you find that it has receded more than 1.5 cms, then maybe it’s time to visit a professional for help.
If not, then there is truly no need to be worried.
Some hairlines look like balding in its early stages, but that is mostly just a mature hairline which is going to stay put that way for the remaining part of your life. Just so that you may understand this better, we have put together a list of the types of hairlines.
Important note: A mature hairline will recede over the years by a maximum if 1-1.5 cms, a balding hairline will recede 1.5 cms and more, over the years.
Understanding the widow’s peak and V shape hairline
Now balding is usually marked by the characteristic widow’s peak appearing on your hairline.
This is often confused with a V-shaped hairline, leaving many people worried that they’re balding.
You see the point, don’t you?
So the truth of the matter is that V-shaped hairlines are perfectly normal. Just that, if you notice it receding over 1.5 cms over any given period of time, then that probably is balding. And balding will continue to recede the hairline until there is no hairline left anymore.
What to do if you notice balding?
First and foremost, don’t panic or get depressed. There are ways to treat this. Consult a hair specialist and get treated. Male pattern baldness is carried out by a hormone called DHT. DHT is formed by the conversion of testosterone when there is too much cortisol in the body.
And cortisol, my friend, is released when you’re constantly in stress. It’s also called the death hormone. Latest hair renewal technology help stop male pattern baldness with the help of inhibitors; that inhibit this conversion into DHT. Hence saving your hairline.
