I'm a 27 year old male who has noticed in the last month or so my hairline has receded significantly.
I have never had the strongest hairline, but it's always been relatively okay/acceptable. Only recently has it become a significant issue. The rest of my hair is okayish, quite fine/thin but it's not an issue at all (for me at least). Just the hairline!
The reason for this could simply be because I'm 27 and it's now naturally "my time" for this to happen to me. But there are two recent events that I feel I should mention.
1.) Weight loss
In the last 5 months or so I've been trying to lose weight (diet only). I've managed to get from 16st 6lb to 13st, so I've lost 48 pounds in 5 months. I've read a lot about how significant weight loss and dieting can effect hair. Maybe I've not been getting the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients I need?
I have been taking a multivitamin tablet for 2 months now. It's Perfectil Original aimed at hair, skin and nails.
2.) Terrible barber
About a month ago I foolishly decided to try a random new barber and he was terrible. Think he must have been the work experience kid, and I'm convinced he is at least partly to blame for doing something/pushing my hairline back. Before visiting this new barber, I didn't have the same level of concern as I do now for my hairline. I only really noticed the problem after the visit.
Now the reason for my sudden receding hairline is unclear to me, it could be one of those two reasons (maybe both) or like I said it could just naturally be my time but I think it's a little too coincidental after the two things above?
What do you think? And what exactly can I do about it, if anything?
I decided to get the Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo and give that a try, and I may decide to upgrade the mult-vitamin to Perfectil Max as I've heard good things. What would you reccomend?
