Is there any way to stop/reverse a receding hairline (temple region)?

[Maverick2002]

From what I've read - no. Seems like medications only affect frontal or other areas where hair is lost, but nothing is effective at reducing/reversing temple area hair loss (the most common). Seems like it's a combination of genes/aging? I'm guessing only a hair transplant would work?

A Sharpie. If your hair is black.

Or, just get creative...

Death would probably stop it. :sneaky:

Finasteride.

It blocks the conversion of testosterone to the more potent form which has been found to be the catalyst for hair loss in men.
It is also been found to be the culprit (the main one anyway) of Benign Prostatic Hypertropy.
You would know it as propecia.

Careful with that one.

Yes

It's called shaving

Bald = no hairline

Enjoy

just shave it down, you dont have to shave it bald, i just use a #2 guard and ya done.

you are just going to waste time & money barely slowing it down, what a nuisance.

maybe one day there will be a real cure/fix for it but until then, embrace it.

It's not a huge deal, just wanted to see what was out there. Rogaine from what I know doesn't do anything for the hairline around the temple region.

Drugs/plastic surgery are never the appropriate answer for natural physical "problems".

Most guys get bald

Suck it up and accept it. I have.

I have had a receeding hairline since I was 20 and it keeps packing up and moving a little further back every year. I finally just took a #1 and just cut it all down. Yeah it doesn't "hide" it but it looks much better.

As goofy as you think it looks showing it like this, it looks 3x as bad covering it up. I tried ALL of the "fixes" and none work worth shit.

It's called getting old. Get used to it.

losing my hair bothers me, but then i remember that men age much better than women, so if this is all i have to deal with, i'll take it!
