The most common cause of a receding hairline in men is due to male pattern hair loss or androgenic alopecia. As men mature and levels of testosterone are higher (i.e. after puberty), the shape of their hairline can undergo change.

The hairline can recede across the entire frontal area, at both corners of the frontal hairline, or at the hairline at the temples. Each pattern of hairline recession is determined largely by genetics and how prone your hair follicles are to DHT damage (see article on androgenetic alopecia).

There are other possible causes of a receding hairline such as frontal fibrosing alopecia or traction alopecia but this is much less commonly seen.
