How can you tell if your hairline is actually receding?

Answer by  mama2abear (8)

You can tell if your hairline is receding by comparing your hair in pictures. Look at pictures from a year or two ago and then look at a picture now. If your hairline appears to have moved back then you may have a receding hairline.

measure your hairline from the back of your head to the front every month, also you can tell by the amount of hair you shed in your brush or comb, most people shed about 200 hairs a day but it gets replenished naturally regrowing, the main tell-tale is a baldness or lack of hair in front.

Observe your hairline in the mirror and compare it with old with old photos. You can also note any natural markings, such as a freckle, and compare your hairline to those to determine if your hairline is receding. Ask family and friend who see you everyday. Often your children or spouse will notice your hairline is receding before you do.

A really easy test is to get a nice haircut and have your wife take a few photos of you. Then, when you get your next haircut, repeat the process. Just do this each time you have a haircut. You can compare the photos and maybe fill your album, too!

You need to find a point on your face that is fixed and measure the distance of your hairline to this point and see if the distance increases over time.

Well obviously if it is there will be more space from your eyebrows to your hairline. All you have to do is measure it and if it increases its receding. If its thinned it probably really has rededed already.
