Normal change after the teens

Many men find their hairline moves up slightly from its straight teenage shape. A small change that then stays stable is often described as a mature hairline.

When it may be more than that

If the temples keep opening into a deepening M, or the front hairs become finer and sparser, it may be the pattern of a receding hairline.

How to compare

Compare photos taken over several years with hair pushed back. Consistent photos are more honest than the mirror on different days.
