Treatment for the receding hairline is not necessary if you are comfortable with your appearance. If you wish to stop receding hairline then hair weaving, hairpieces, or change of hairstyle may disguise the hair loss. This is considered to be the least expensive and the safest approach for male baldness. Yet two medications are advised to treat male pattern baldness. The first one is Minoxidil (Rogaine). It is a solution which you need to apply directly to the scalp. The Hair loss returns when one stops using this medicine. The second one is Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar). You must continue using these to avoid hair loss.
