Receding Hairline Stages: What You Can Expect To See As It Gets Worse
Noticing a receding hairline can be devastating, but knowledge is power.
Receding hairlines can affect men and women of all ages for different reasons. The most common cause for men is male pattern baldness, caused by genes that make the hair susceptible to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT makes hair follicles shrink, leading to hair loss. Women can also experience receding hairlines but more often, female hair loss is diffuse. It can be related to DHT, but it’s typically a result of lowered estrogen levels with menopause.
