Receding hairline. What to do? First, it's not the end of the world. Some men who begin to lose their hair become desperate. This reaction is understandable. But, read this and you'll know how to handle your receding hairline.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • receding hairline
  • mirror
  • 2 year old pictures of your self
  1. Step 1

    How much is your hair receding? Look in the mirror and try to be objective. Have you really lost that much hair? Or are you being too critical? Look at pictures of yourself taken two years ago. Where was your hairline?

  2. Step 2

    If you haven't lost much hair in the last two years. Then, that's great! Do nothing. Hairlines that recede slightly don't make a man less attractive. Fashion is on your side. The only thing you may want to do is keep your hair cut shorter. This will take the focus away from your hairline.

  3. Step 3

    If your hairline has receded a lot in two years. No comb overs please! There's plenty you can do. First, do you have a nicely shaped head? You may want to get it cut super short. Like you shaved your head, but it's growing back. This is a sexy look for men.

  4. Step 4

    If you feel that you need the hair replaced, a hair transplant might be an option. But, research this option carefully. Having a hair transplant is a procedure where hair is taken for another part of your head and the hair follicles are put into the places where you are missing hair. This can result in a natural look. Or it can be over done and look artificial.

Tips & Warnings
  • Look at the bright side. There's never been a better time in fashion to be losing hair. It can be a sexy look.
  • No comb overs. Never.
  • We are most critical on ourselves. Your receding hairline is probably not as bad as you think.
  • If you decide to have a hair transplant, make sure who does the procedure doesn't put too many plugs of hair into one spot. The most natural hair trans plants are the ones that use about half the amount of follicles.

on 3/2/2009 Well I have a bad hair line also I usually cut mine real low so know one can tell that my hair line receded..I also cut my own hair, word of advice to guys with receding hair lines (my self included) if your using edgers to edge your hair try not to go back too far because it'll look like your hair is "REALLY FALLING Out", and you'll look 20 years older.
