Receding hairline at 20 can make you think you are balding and there is no hope. The fear of baldness is real but does not need to be. Baldness takes many years to kill off hair follicles, so while you are young, check out the many modern receding hairline treatments available.
Receding hairline and excessive hair loss
Early receding hairline can be caused by diffuse hair loss. Diffuse hair loss is when the hair cycle is disturbed, and you would experience excessive hair loss. This is also telogen effluvium and effects hairs diffusely all over the head.
When experiencing excessive hair loss diffusely all over the head, it can seem that the receding hairline is the worst area. The front hairline is the thinnest area of hair on the head. We all have recessions there too with natural baby hairs. Diffuse hair loss will make these areas look much thinner.
Early receding hairline – male pattern baldness
An early receding hairline can also be the first sign you may be exposed to male pattern baldness. Being aware of this in your 20s to understand what causes this, is your greatest power to conquer the fear of baldness.
Causes of male pattern baldness, the triggers:
- Hereditary factors – genetics
- Hormonal factors – low vitamin D
- Environmental factors – xenoestrogens
- Free radical effect – lack of antioxidants
Male pattern baldness is caused by DHT, dihydrotestosterone. DHT is not the enemy here, we all have and need DHT. It is what triggers your DHT to bind where it does not belong, that is the key.
Trichologist – natural hair treatment
As Trichologist at Absolique, I will help you to learn about your individual triggers. Once we understand and avoid your triggers, we can implement natural hair treatment that does not need to be forever.
Many cases of early male pattern baldness have related nutritional lows and deficiency. This case presented with nutritional, diet and lifestyle contributing factors:
- Vitamin D deficiency – also causing oily hair
- Low essential fatty acids – making scalp dandruff and high cholesterol
- Poor diet – all processed, packaged and junk food
- Shift work with disturbed sleep
Low vitamin D will disturb our hormones which can cause excessive hair loss if reaching deficiency status. Vitamin D also needs EFA – essential fatty acids. Low vitamin D will also contribute to early receding hairline.

The best treatment for receding hairline is getting a diagnosis with Trichologist who understands the hair cycle. Check bloods to look for nutritional lows and deficiencies. Follow the advice to make diet and lifestyle changes.
