Why your hair suddenly looks thinner at the temples and what dermatologists recommend - Silicon Canals

"You know that moment when you're doing your hair and suddenly notice your temples looking a bit sparse? Last week, I was pulling my hair back for a workout when I saw it - that telltale thinning right at my hairline that definitely wasn't there six months ago. My first thought was pure panic, followed immediately by a frantic Google search that only made things worse."

"There's actually a biological reason why hair loss often starts at the temples. As Healthline explains, "Hair loss on your temples can result in a widow's peak, the V-shaped hairline often present in men but that can also be experienced by women." The hair follicles at your temples are particularly sensitive to hormonal changes, especially androgens like DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Think of these follicles as being on the front lines -"

A sudden notice of temple thinning can provoke immediate panic, though the change usually develops gradually. Temple hair loss often results from biological sensitivity of temple follicles to hormonal changes, particularly androgens such as DHT, producing patterns like a widow's peak in both men and women. Genetics, stress hormones, and natural aging commonly affect temple follicles first. High stress periods can increase hair shedding, with personal experience linking months of worry to greater hair loss around the temples. Understanding the causes and dermatologist recommendations can make temple thinning more manageable.
