Receding hairline

[usernamebarley]

Receding hairline is a combination of recession on the corner and temple or either one of the two?

In this link, there is a diagram which shows that the temple is just in front of the crown and on the side of the frontal.

In this link, it is stated that temples are below the corners (above the ear) of the hairline.

I'm a little confused over where is the corner of the hairline and where is the temple? can anyone enlighten me on this?

 

[s.a.f]

When people say temples they mean the corners where the hairline meets the hair on the sides of your head.

 

[usernamebarley]

then what about temporal? same thing as temple?

 

[usernamebarley]

When people say temples they mean the corners where the hairline meets the hair on the sides of your head.

so whats the proper term for:

1)the hairline on the side of the head, just behind the eyebrow.

2)and the hairline above the eyebrow before the corner.

 

[s.a.f]

1) Is the temple point - the part of your hair nearest to your eyebrow. Like hairlines they vary greatly from person to person I've seen peoples temple points that are less than an inch from their eyebrow. Some people dont even have the triangular bit that sticks out/forward theirs just go straight down. And yes you can lose these bits due to m.p.b look at Larry David.

2) I'd just call that the hairline near the temples I cant imagine that area receeding with the temple itself also receeding.

no, i think temple points are the corners of the hairline, while temples are the parts next to your eyebrwos, Dr rassman said recession of the temples is not normal, but recession of the temple points is.

 

[s.a.f]

No its definatley the other way around, their called temple points because they have like a triangular shaped point.

 

[patrik]

but then that would mean that recession of the corners of the hairline (temples according to u) is not normal, while recession of the temple points, sides ( acorrding to u) is. in reality im pretty sure some loss in the corners of the hairline is normal, but the temples going back is not.

 

[s.a.f]

Err have you considered that on this occasion he could have got the 2 mixed up?

 

[usernamebarley]

hi, would you mind showing me the entry that dr rassman say that recessions of temples is not normal but yes on temple points?

 

[patrik]

yeah, http://www.baldingblog.com/2009/03/03/a ... ne-or-male pattern baldness/

 

[usernamebarley]

So if you're right, then recession on the temple (area above the ear, beside the eyebrow I assumed) is not normal? then what can be cause of it?

 

[patrik]

the cause is male pattern baldness, like it says in the article.

 

[usernamebarley]

Is it mbp?

It is also possible that your genetics will cause your temples to recede a little and that will be the only hair loss you have. I’ve seen this in some patients.

I think Dr Rassman meant it will recede and being the only hair loss thus it is not equivalent to mbp?

 

[patrik]

he said in some cases, the temples recede and then stop, but most of the time its male pattern baldness, hows ur family history of hairloss userbarley?

What do you mean recession of temples is not normal? Recession of temples is normal point?

normal in what sense? that you are not getting mbp or..?

1) Is the temple point - the part of your hair nearest to your eyebrow. Like hairlines they vary greatly from person to person I've seen peoples temple points that are less than an inch from their eyebrow. Some people dont even have the triangular bit that sticks out/forward theirs just go straight down. And yes you can lose these bits due to m.p.b look at Larry David.

So recession in 1 and 2, which is normal and which is not? Only recession in either 1 or 2 is normal while in both then is not normal?

I'm confused man. anyone can clarify?

My mother could be thinning but there are still no bald patches and not really any signs of Miniaturized hair. Her hair parting is obvious, however when she changes the side of the parting, her hair seems fuller.

My mother's brothers.
1 had high forehead/mature hairline and still full of hair.
1 had high forehead/mature hairline and experiences very mild thinning on the crown or perhaps because he is old (about 50yo). No significant balding though.
1 kept his juvenile hairline and thinning on the crown (about 50yo)

My mother's sisters
All had head full of hair.

No brother to compare with and my sister is still to young.

My maternal side's cousins (2 about 20yo), none is experiencing mbp. Maybe slight recession of hairline(like that of mature hairline) but crown is full and hair is thick.

Parents are separated since I was young. No idea about Dad's side but what I heard from my mother is none is balding on his side.

 

[patrik]

if ur temples are going back, (the areas on top of the ear,) then yes, generally its male pattern baldness.

I'm confused man. anyone can clarify?

Recession in 2 is normal 1 happens but usualy only with severe hairloss (NW7).
