Save Your Hairline

I’m 43 years old. Something I’ve learned in the past couple years is that hairlines move. They migrate north. Men or women, just like the polar ice cap, hairlines recede.

Need proof that it happens to everyone? Google a celebrity in their 40s for recent images and images of them back in the 80s or 90s and compare the hairline. Yup, even famous people’s hairlines move.

The good news is you can slow it down. Step number one, stop applying your shampoo at your hair line and working it back. Apply at the crown and move it side to side and front to back. The only time this wouldn’t apply would be if you are receding at the crown.

Step number two, apply conditioner to your hair, not your hairline. Remember, shampoo is for cleaning the scalp. Conditioner is for the hair, not the scalp. Place conditioner on top of the hair rather than at the hairline and trying to work it back from there.

Step number three, don’t brush and comb your hair out from the hairline. Start at the sides or even the back of the neck. And while you’re at it, don’t rip through knots. Grab the area where the hair catches the brush and hold it and work through. Support the hair with your hand so the scalp doesn’t take the pressure.

If you wear your hair in a pony tail, clip the bang area back first to take pressure off the roots at your temples.

If worse comes to worst and you’re past prevention and need some cure, there are products and home devices and in office treatments that can get a visible improvement.

Bottom line – treat your hair today like an antique silk so it still looks good in later life.
