What is a Receding Hairline and Why Is My Hairline Receding?
If you're noticing your hairline moving further up your head, you might be dealing with a receding hairline. A receding hairline is often linked to androgenetic alopecia, a medical term for male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness, a condition that can impact your mental health by causing stress and a loss of confidence or self-esteem. While there are hairstyles, wigs, hats and extensions that can be used to cover up hair loss and a receding hairline, many people choose to restore their hairline with a non-invasive, hairline loss treatment known as non-surgical hair replacement.
Causes of Hairline Recession
The primary cause of receding hair and a thinning hairline is the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is hereditary. Men with DHT-sensitive hair follicles, usually along the hairline at the top and front of the scalp, experience gradual thinning and hair loss. This pattern is known as male-pattern baldness. Less commonly, hair loss can result from stress, tight hairstyles, or certain medical conditions.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options for a Receding Hairline or Thinning Hair
Non-surgical hair replacement, also referred to as non-invasive hair restoration, is a hair replacement procedure for both men and women who are experiencing thinning hair, premature balding, alopecia, or a receding hairline. Non-surgical hair replacement is a safe hair loss treatment that restores one's hair and receding hairline without the need for surgery. It involves attaching a custom-designed hair unit (also called a hair system or hair piece) to a person’s existing hair or scalp using various techniques, such as a medical grade adhesive, medical grade tape, clips, links, or micro-links. All are safe and pain-free.
How Does Hair Replacement Work?
A hair evaluation is done to determine the extent of one’s hair loss, the direction of hair growth, the hair color, the density of hair on the scalp, and the shape of the hairline. Next, a custom hair system is hand-crafted, strand by strand, using only the finest human hair for a result that blends with the person’s existing hair, creating a look that is virtually undetectable. When done correctly, hair will look like it is growing right from the person’s scalp and, magically, a receding hairline is replaced with a hairline of 100% human hair.
What Are the Benefits of Non-Surgical Hair Restoration?
It is non-invasive and painless (unlike hair plug transplants), instant results (unlike surgical options), minimal downtime (unlike surgery and recovery), customizable to match your desired look, cost-effective (non-surgical solutions are often more affordable than hair plugs and hair plug transplants), versatile (you can play sports, swim, bike, shower, sweat, put on a helmet), natural appearance (Thursday’s modern techniques can create a highly natural-looking result, blending seamlessly with your existing hair), flexibility (try new hairstyles and go longer or shorter), and watch what it does for your confidence!
