Chris Hemsworth's Widow Peak

Former Sexiest Man Alive Chris Hemsworth, 32, has risen to fame thanks to his popular super hero roles, but is he winning the battle against his receding hairline? 

As you can see from his photos, the star has a V-shaped point in the hairline, or what is commonly referred to as a widow's peak. But while the star is seeing some early signs of a maturing hairline, he is fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair.

But he might want to consider a proactive hair regimen of FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession. He would hardly be the first actor to take action against hair loss, more celebrities are investing in hair restoration than ever before. New technology and non-invasive procedures are selling points for many actors looking to enhance their looks discreetly. 

Do Man Buns Cause Baldness?

Man buns have been growing in popularity, thanks to celebrities like Jared Leto, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Chris Hemsworth, to name just a few. 

But are they causing men to go bald? They answer, they can. 

I talk a lot on the blog about women who put themselves at risk of traction alopecia, a condition that can lead to irreversible damage to the hair, as well as hair loss, but the risks extend to men as well. Men who constantly wear their hair in tight styles, like the man bun, are at risk of damaging their hair, and of permanent damage, such as hair loss. I recommend changing up your style regularly, to avoid constant tension and pulling of the hair, but the best thing for your hair is to avoid these styles, or limiting their frequency at the very least. 

Are the Avengers Losing Their Hair?

Are the Avengers losing their super powers?

Out of the franchise's five leading men, how many do you think are showing early signs of hair loss?

The answer: all five.

As stated before on this blog, Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth both show signs of recession - but add to that list Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner and Robert Downey Jr.

In all of the photos temporal recession is clearly evident. Evans spoke with E! Online about his hair loss fears years ago. Aside from the temporal points, however, the hairline looks fairly healthy, so he may already be undergoing treatment - such as Propecia or a minoxidil formulation (I'd recommend Formula 82M).

Hopefully all of the Avengers will take their hair loss seriously. After all, how often is a super-hero bald? That look usually goes to the villain.

Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, 30, has risen to fame thanks to his popular super hero roles, but one fight his "golden hammer" isn't going to help him with is his receding hairline.

In photos from Sunday's Oscars, you can see deepening recession in the temporal region, which isn't uncommon for a man his age. Thirty percent of men in their 30s experience hair loss and the number increases to 40 percent as men enter their 40s. While Hemsworth's hairline is maturing, he is fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair.

He might want to consider a proactive hair regimen of FDA-approved Propecia or Rogaine, which could help him avoid any further recession.
