Hair restoration: how to restore the hairline?

A receding hairline is a common condition among both men and women. However, it is more common in men and can be one of the first signs of male pattern baldness. There are several factors that can cause a receding hairline, from family history to age, to hormonal changes and other illnesses. For women, hair loss is more common than a receding hairline, but it is not impossible.

However, thanks to advances in medical research and technology, there are several treatment options available to restore your hairline, depending on the cause. There are some distinct signs and symptoms associated with a receding hairline, which is more likely to develop after puberty or adulthood.

What are the signs of a receding hairline?
Here are some signs to watch for receding hairline:

1. Uneven hairline
   While it is normal for the hairline to mature naturally, receding is different. As your hairline matures, the entire hairline recedes evenly. In case of receding hairline, you will notice that the hairline recedes unevenly. Most men can notice an M-shaped hairline receding from the temples, sides, middle of the forehead, or the back of the head.
2. Thinning of hair above the temples
   This pattern is common in men, and the middle part of the hair recedes from the temples. In women, thinning may also begin at the temples and gradually spread to the entire top of the head. However, women are more likely to experience hair loss evenly across the scalp.
3. More hair is falling out than usual
   It is normal for people to shed 50-100 strands of hair every day. If you're experiencing more hair loss, it could be a subtle symptom of hair loss or a receding hairline.

What are the reasons that lead to a receding hairline?

1. Age
   Most often, with age, the hairline recedes or hair falls out. The human scalp has thousands of hairs that grow from follicles under the skin. These hairs eventually fall out but are replaced by new ones. Age can damage hair follicles, causing hair loss and a receding hairline.
2. Genetics
   Receding hairline can be linked to family genes. People with a family history of baldness are more likely to experience hairline recession or hair loss.
3. Hormonal changes
   Hormonal imbalances can cause hair loss in men and women. In men, the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) contributes to male pattern baldness by causing hair follicles to shrink. In women, factors such as menopause can cause hair loss, although not always.
4. Unhealthy lifestyle choices
   Dietary choices such as processed foods, sugary foods, foods with preservatives and saturated fats can contribute to hair loss. Lifestyle choices such as smoking can also cause receding hairlines.

What are the treatment options for receding hairline?

In addition to medical and surgical options, there are a few other ways to get your hairline back:

How to restore the hairline in a natural way?

Healthy lifestyle – Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a nutritious diet rich in antioxidants, spending time in nature or meditation, and reducing stress can help manage symptoms.

Essential vitamins – Essential vitamins such as vitamin E, vitamin B-12, vitamin A, iron and zinc can help reduce hair loss.
Hair care - use a shampoo that is gentle and stimulates the hair follicles. Use natural hair products and avoid harsh chemicals that can damage hair follicles.
Oil therapy – Certain oils are known to promote hair growth. These include lavender oil, rosemary oil, and peppermint oil. Mix these oils with a carrier oil, such as almond oil, coconut oil, or jojoba oil, and apply to your scalp.
Scalp Massage – Scalp massage increases blood circulation and stimulates hair follicles, helping hair grow healthier and thicker.
Herbal Treatment – There are several known herbs that can make your hair fuller and healthier. Herbs such as aloe vera, gooseberry, Chinese hibiscus and ginseng are used to treat hair loss.
What medications are available to restore the hairline?
Finasteride – Finasteride, also known as Propecia, is a prescription drug that reduces the conversion of testosterone to DHT, the hormone that causes male hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride promotes hair growth.
Minoxidil – also known as Rogaine, Minoxidil is an over-the-counter medication that is used for the treatment of hair loss. Minoxidil increases blood flow and circulation to the scalp, thereby regenerating hair follicles.
Anthralin – Widely used as a medicine to treat psoriasis, anthralin is also used as a treatment for hair loss.

Hair restoration methods

Laser therapy – also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), laser therapy is a widely recognized non-invasive, painless procedure for promoting hair growth. In this therapy, scalp tissue is exposed to photons to replenish weak cells and stimulate hair growth.

Hair transplant – a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are extracted from a part of the scalp that has dense hair, such as the back of the head, and transplanted onto bald or thin hair. The most common method of hair transplantation is the extraction of follicular unitsa (FUE).
