Receding hairline
A hairline that moves back from the forehead over time, usually at the temples first.
Also: maturing hairline
A receding hairline is one that rises over the years. In many men it moves back at the temples, leaving an M shape, and some barbers call the early stage a maturing hairline. It is very common, and much of it is inherited. Face-shape guides note that a higher hairline lengthens the look of a face, and that a beard can add balance at the jaw. There is nothing wrong with any hairline.
