It happens to every man at some point. You look in the mirror and think, “Has my hairline always been that high?” If you’re wondering whether you’ve just got a mature, adult hairline or should be worried about bigger hair loss, you’re in the right place. We’ll go over exactly what a mature hairline is and how to tell the difference between a receding hairline or baldness, plus offer you some tried-and-true options for covering up or restoring your hairline if it makes you self-conscious (but of course, a lot of men look refined and distinguished with their mature hairline, too!).
Mature Hairlines at a Glance
A man develops his mature hairline between the ages of 17 and 30. This is when the hairline gradually and evenly moves up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) above his juvenile hairline (or above his highest forehead wrinkle). Mature hairlines are caused by normal aging and are not as rapid or noticeable as receding hairlines.
