Do Indian heads undergo maturing? My father started going bald at the age of 35 and my grandfather at 40. However my mother’s side is devoid of any kind of MPB. My question is my temples have undergone receding corresponding to the MATURE hairline that I read in this website. Is this normal for an Indian male like me? Also there is no further thinning, as far as I know and my hairline has remained the same for the past 1-1.5 years. Can I safely call it a maturing hairline and put all my mental worries and tension aside? This is killing me and I hope you read this and help me and my case.

Almost all men have some form of maturing hair line as they transition into adulthood. About 5% of Caucasian men maintain part of all of the child;s hairline well into maturity (former presidents Reagan and Clintoon). Maturing hair lines are not considered balding. Balding in the form of androgenic alopecia (AGA) also called Male Pattern Balding (BMP) is genetic and is inherited from your mother or father (close to 50/50); however, it does not always follow a predictable pattern and you may have the balding pattern where your immediate family members do not. There is no specific cure to reverse genetic male pattern balding or maturing of a hair line and even the drug Propecia (finasteride) which works so well on genetic balding does not stop the maturing hairline from appearing.

I’m Hispanic, feel like I have a pretty good hairline cause of genes and all that. Id say that all my lifes its been Norwood 0, basically have david schwimmers hairline from friends. Probably a bit more filled up, always hated it cause my hairline was always really crooked and I wanted it to be straight. This past year or so ive noticed that my left side Has straightened a bit more, it’s not receded, still nw0 but my right is more filled up. Isn’t this normal though? Feel like a lot of people here freak out over the slightest recession. It honestly even made me a bit paranoid, I mean I wasn’t expecting my hairline to stay the same way like when I was a kid all my life. I’m nearly 20 and honestly am kinda freaked out browsing here.

Hairlines mature in men and stop at the mature position, which is one finger breadth above the highest crease of the furrowed brow. The shape will be a gentle V shape. Send me photos and I will tell you if you have a maturing hairline. David Schwimmer has some of his juvenile hairline still remaining, and did not undergo a full maturing hairline development as some men do. One of my son’s also kept most of his juvenile hairline.

Australian Times:

Jack was 16 when he first noticed that his hairline was receding, as he checked photos his surfing friends had posted on Instagram.

“I’d look at pictures of me when I was 14 or 15, see the hairline and then look at pictures from a year later and say, ‘Oh, that’s changed’,” says Jack, a bashful but athletic high-school student.

Last week Jack, still just 17, underwent hair-transplant surgery to move 3,000 hair follicles from the back of his head to the front to re-create the hairline.

His parents, worried about the impact on his self-confidence, paid dollars 22,000 (pounds 14,000) for the surgery.

Jack is one of thousands of American teenagers turning to surgery for a follicular fix.

“We live in a world where you are judged by the pictures that you take – particularly by the opposite sex,” he said.

“In our age group, most of what you do is going towards appealing to the opposite sex. We’re just fixing something that, by genetics, we just didn’t luck out (on).”

Dr Keith Durante, who is treating Jack, claims that a growing proportion of the 200 hair-transplant procedures he performs in a year in West Islip, New York, are for men in their early twenties or late teens.

Thanks to the barrage of high-resolution pictures on social media, young men are spotting their retreating hairlines and thinning crowns at a much younger age.

Many of the patients Durante treats are diagnosed with clinical depression and are beginning to isolate themselves socially as a result of paranoia about their baldness, he claims.

“You will spend more money on psychiatry bills and medications than you would if you just gave these kids some hair and let them enjoy it for 5 to 10 years,” Durante said. “If they need (the treatment) done again, we can do it.”

Hair-transplant surgeons have been reluctant to treat men until their balding has plateaued, fearing treated hair could end up as an island of fluff if the balding continues. Durante says he can offset the hair-loss process with a mix of treatments.

Nonetheless, some rival surgeons believe it is irresponsible to begin treatment at a young age.

“You’re not creating new hair – you are just moving hair,” said Dr Spencer Kobren, a hair-loss expert.

“You have a finite amount of hair you can utilise. Most experts in the field would say that not only is that medically inappropriate, but it’s unethical.”

I was thinking about 50 grafts just to see how they would look on the right corner of my hairline. What do you think?

Ask yourself if is there something called ‘A Little Bit Pregnant’. Clearly the answer is no. The same applies to just trying a few hair transplant grafts. Once you start the hair transplant process you are committing a lifetime of hair transplants to follow the balding as it occur. Imagine that you put a few hair grafts on the Right frontal hairline, then lost hair is lost behind it; these transplanted hair would stick out so everyone could see them as they became more and more isolated from a receding hairline because these hairs last forever, but not the hair behind them.. Don’t do it unless you have a Master Plan which includes hair transplants with a good doctor to fix a real problem.

Since beginning Finasteride 1mg daily 13 months ago, my skin has become very sensitive. I’ve developed light brown spots on my forehead that my dermatologists states are melasma. After doing some research, I’ve found numerous online threads connecting melasma and finasteride. I have a few questions that I hope you can answer regarding this issue.

1. If I were to stop taking finasteride, do you think these conditions will continue?

2. I’ve read of a connection between oral medication and melasma, do you think topical finasteride would produce the same problems?

3. If you think topical finasteride would be a better option, do you still sell it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Is hair transplant useless if finasteride doesn’t work on your normal hair?

Hair transplants are taken from the back and sides of the head. These hairs (we call in the donor zone) are permanent hairs that never fall out, so when they are moved to the balding area they take their genes with them. Finasteride has no effect on these permanent hairs.
