High Hairline in Teenage Male

Hair loss treatment in Dubai

One of the most common types of hair loss in men is Androgenic Alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. This hair loss type begins with hair thinning at temples followed by a receding hairline and balding crown area. Androgenic Alopecia typically affects men aging 35 and above, but the hairline recession can begin as early as late teens. A receding hairline teenager is not a pretty picture to look at.

A receding or a high hairline in teenage males means losing hair from the sides and front of the head. Over time, some boys may also start shedding hair at the top of the head. But a patch of hair separating the vertex and the hairline remains at first. In case of severe baldness, this bridge may eventually recede as well.

In this article, we have shared the receding hairline stages, causes, and treatments. Keep reading to learn more about a high hairline in teenage males.

What Causes High Hairline in Teenage Male?

A wide range of factors can cause hair loss. However, most of them cause temporary hair shedding and general hair thinning over the entire scalp. Hairline recession is associated explicitly with Androgenic Alopecia. It is a genetic hair loss type caused by increased levels of Dihydrotestosterone in the body. It triggers androgenic miniaturization of hair follicles, inhibiting their ability to grow hairs.

As stated above, this type of hair loss is genetic and runs in the family. If you have several bald heads in your family, your chances of ending up with a hairless thatch are high. However, the extent of baldness varies from person to person.

Receding Hairline Stages

Hair loss and receding hairlines are typically associated with older people. However, a receding hairline teenager is not as uncommon as one might think. Typically men experience a receding hairline in their late thirties, but they can have it after they hit puberty. Women don’t experience a receding hairline this soon.

According to experts, a receding hairline never really stops. It will keep receding until it becomes merged with the bald crown. It is the first sign of male pattern baldness. A receding hairline goes through the following stages until it finally connects with the bald crown.

Stage 1: The receding hairline begins, but it is barely noticeable.

Stage 2: Hairline starts receding at the temples.

Stage 3: An ‘M’ shape starts becoming evident as the hairline recedes backward.

Stage 4: Balding may occur at the top of the head in a small spot.

Stage 5: ‘U’-shaped hair loss begins at the crown. It is quite noticeable and significant.

Stage 6: Hairline keeps receding towards the back of the scalp.

Stage 7: The front of the head and the crown are completely bald by now.

Stage 8: Hair loss begins at the scalp’s sides and keeps progressing until the scalp is completely bald.

Correcting High Hairline in Teenagers:

There are numerous surgical and non-surgical treatment options available for fixing a receding hairline problem. Medicines often prescribed for androgenic baldness include Minoxidil (a topical application) and Finasteride (an oral pill). Apart from that, ACell/PRP hair loss therapy is another effective, non-surgical treatment for hair thinning and receding hairline.

Hair Transplant for High Hairline:

The non-surgical treatments usually offer temporary solutions and hair loss returns as soon as we discontinue the treatment. If you seek a permanent fix for the high hairline, a Hair Transplant Surgery may be worth considering. The surgery involves extracting healthy, baldness resistant hair follicles from the back or sides of the scalp. These follicles are implanted in the hairline’s balding areas. As a result, hair regrowth begins.
