Should I be worried about my receding hairline?
Age-related hairline changes are normal. As we age, our juvenile, concave hairlines recede into mature, convex hairlines. However, some people see further changes to their hairlines, as well. This type of receding hairline is typically a sign of androgenic alopecia.
Why is my hair falling out?
It’s normal to shed a bit of hair each day. This type of hair loss is just part of the hair growth cycle. That being said, you might feel like you’re losing lots of hair. Your hair might be changing in texture and length, or simply not growing back. In these cases, your hair shedding could actually be a sign of hair loss.
Thinning hair: why it happens and how to deal with it
Everyone’s hair gets at least a little thinner as they get older. That being said, thinning hair is also a sign of your hair follicles getting smaller. This process, known as miniaturization, is a sign of male pattern hair loss.
Temple hair loss: a sign of androgenic alopecia
Temple hair loss is one of the first symptoms of male pattern hair loss. When it starts, you might notice your hair getting shorter and thinner, or seem like it’s growing more slowly. Eventually, as the hair stops growing back, the shape of your hairline will change.
Hair shedding: a normal part of life or a cause for concern?
Hair shedding is a normal part of daily life, with most people losing between 50 and 150 hairs each day. These are the hairs you see on your comb, pillow, and in the shower drain. However, if you’re losing more than this amount of hair, it might be a sign of hair loss.
What medications cause hair loss?
From antibiotics to cholesterol-reducers, a variety of medications can cause hair loss. Fortunately, this type of hair loss isn’t permanent. Most people with this issue just need to change their dose or switch to a different type of medication.
Does a bad hairline mean that I’m balding?
It’s normal for your hairline to change as you get older. That being said, there’s a difference between age-related changes and a receding or thinning hairline. Receding and thinning are two of the first signs of male pattern hair loss.
Does masturbation cause hair loss?
Masturbation’s association with hair loss is an urban legend. It might have come from the relationship between sexual activity and hormonal changes, or the protein lost when men ejaculate. Fortunately, masturbation can’t cause or increase hair loss symptoms.
