Reply With QuoteI have actually developed a small widows peak with age (genetics), but I would say it grew in rather than receded. Interesting.
"mature hairline"?
I heard this really weird thing, but I don't believe this can be true. That for many people their hairline recedes half an inch to an inch and and a bit in the temples between the ages of 17 and 30.
I think it's nonsense. I don't know anyone who had this happening to them. You do see it on guys who are in the early stages of starting to become bald. But that is a different thing, that is an ongoing process, not just a 'mature hairline' that stays the same.
I think some people just naturally have a high forehead and some don't.

The hair at my temples became thinner during the time period you mention.
No offense, but... how old are you again? Trust me, you'll see more of this later on.Originally Posted by ilovelonghair
There are plenty of people (both men and women) whose forehead height stayed mainly the same, but they develop receding at the temples at some point in life.

I am 30, and my hairline hasn't changed a bit - but then, my whole family has thick hair. My mother's hair is still massively thick at 57, and my grandmothers both had good heads of hair on them. I guess it all comes down to genetics.

My hairline started to recede when I reached menopause. I've lost about a quarter inch only in the front over the last 4 years. I have a fringe (bangs) that helps cover both the hairline and my wrinkles.
I've always had super fine / extremely blond hair at my temples, and I'd definitely call it a bit of a gap, but I haven't seen any changes since my teenage years. Maybe the degree to which this phenomenon happens is determined by genetics, diet, or lifestyle(?)

Yeah, mine already is. I've seen tons of guys my age with M-shaped hairlines.
ETA: and girls...
I haven't really noticed a change in mine (I am 31), but my forehead is high anyway and I also have lighter colored baby hair at the temples to begin with.
I wouldn't mind this because the hair at my temples is super fine and frizzy. I'd be better off without it. Plus I like big foreheads.
