Receeding Hairline.

[skyblue78]

I thought it was all down to your family genes? My dad is 75 this year and still has quite a bit hair left, just receded at the sides a bit. The best way is to keep it short, I prefer no2, no combovers ever!!

Hi Blues,

Starting to get the dreaded receeding hairline and was wondering if anybody had any tips or "know hows" on how to stop it?

I've been using a shampoo called Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo which works great so far as I have found less hairs on my pillows and in the shower etc...

One mate of mine uses Regain Foam and states its a big con, you have to use it for life otherwise if you stop your hair just receeds back at a alarming rate he says.

Please please put me out of misery and offer me any advice if possible.

Thanks.

This was in the news a couple of weeks ago.
its called scalp-pigmentation, they tattoo your head so it blends in with what you have left.

tattoo, skinhead, all you need now is the bovver boots and the next rag game and you are set to go

Barring any health related problems it pretty much is, if MPB was a life threatening disease it would probably have been solved by now, but as it isn't the funds for study aren't great in comparison to those that are.

But studies are revealing more and more, it was once thought that looking at your Mothers Fathers hair was a good indication of how your hair would end up, and it still is, but if you look at some brothers you can sometimes see that one 'suffers' from MPB and the other doesn't, so straight away that casts doubt on that particular thought.

Not read much for a while but the more recent studies when I did showed a sort of percentage based formula, it included BOTH parents and BOTH sets of Grandparents and the state of their hair, the Mothers Father was still a big indicator, but not absolute with the studies showing all the above could come into play.
