Find Out the Causes and Signs of M-Shaped Hairline to Safeguard Your Hair!


Over 80% of men experience hair loss problems in different stages of life, 20% of whom start to suffer from them in their 20s. The most common problem is the receding hairline on the side that gradually forms an “M-shaped hairline”. Although this problem is common, hair loss can still cast a devastating blow to appearance and mentality. Therefore, you should know more about the causes and signs of an M-shaped hairline and receive treatment once you identify them.


Causes of M-shaped hairline

An M-shaped hairline can be caused by congenital or acquired factors.


Congenital M-shaped hairline

If your parents or relatives suffer from hair loss problems, you are likely to develop a congenital M-shaped hairline. Heredity can cause excess production of certain androgens, which may bind with 5-alpha reductase to form dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT will mainly attack the hair follicles on the forehead, triggering their shrinkage and hair loss around the temple. An M-shaped hairline then forms gradually.


Acquied M-shaped hairline 

Apart from heredity, unhealthy lifestyle habits are also a major cause. Many city dwellers have insufficient sleep, an unbalanced diet, frequent high-sugar or oily food intake, smoking and drinking habits, etc. These practices will slow down the blood circulation in the scalp and hinder nutrient absorption in hair follicles. The follicles will then weaken and shrink rapidly, leading to an M-shaped hairline.

The first stage of an M-shaped hairline is a receding hairline. If you identify the following signs, consult a hair care expert as soon as possible.


Thinning hair and hair loss on the forehead

Slight itchiness around the temples

Obvious hair loss and a receding hairline

Sparse, fragile and thin hair in other areas

Worsening hair loss with over 100 hairs falling each day


If not treated promptly, hair follicles will continue to shrink and lead to worsening hair loss.

An M-shaped line can be divided into early, intermediate and late stages. The M shape starts to form when the hairline at the forehead recedes. At the early stage, you only notice a receding hairline around the temples. At the intermediate stage, hair loss spreads towards the crown gradually. At the late stage, the condition worsens to a point that the hairline disappears and a bad spot appears, leaving only a few hairs on the sides and back of the head.
