So the general consensus is that a mature hairline is caused due to DHT in the scalp right? This is the same as traditional male pattern baldness. So surely when a juvenile hairline is transitioning into your mature hairline, hair will thin unevenly up to a certain point as it is the same process as male pattern baldness. Here’s what I don’t understand many people say (including dr Rassman) that recession only occurs at the very leading edge when a hairline is maturing but if it’s the same process as male pattern baldness wouldn’t it show the same characteristics up to a certain point on the scalp I.e uneven thinning, erosion, thinning behind hairline (as long as contained within first 1.5cm)

A mature hairline is male pattern baldness that stops around Norwood 2. Keep in mind that male pattern baldness doesn’t refer to a singular pattern, but to 3 identifiable patterns. Technically, there are three three forms that a “mature hairline” can take. From best to worse -
1.) Norwood 2 hair line without crown thinning,
2,) Norwood 2 hair line with crown thinning
3.) Norwood 2 hair line with diffuse thinning
That being said, when people refer to a mature hair line 99% of the time it’s option 1.

Yes this is what I thought. People make out like a juvenile hairline transitioning to that of a mature hairline is a different process to male pattern baldness.
