Vincent's Kartheiser's Unfortunate Hairline

While many fans are sad to know that the cast of Mad Men is wrapping up filming on the final season, but cast member Vincent Kartheiser probably has at least one good reason to look forward to giving up the role of Pete Campbell - his hairline! 

The actor, 34, has had to shave his hairline to help his character age, and when asked recently about the prospect of getting his hairline back, he simply replied, "It doesn't bother me, one way or the other." And quickly clarified that his real hairline isn't receding, at least not yet! "Most of my friends were like, 'Dude, don't do that, it might never come back in!' But luckily I have a good head of hair."

While 34 might seem young to experience hair loss, 30 percent of men will face some degree of hair loss in the 30s, and the risk increases as they age. Now that Vincent has had a chance to live with a receding hairline, hopefully it inspires him to take good care of his hair and start preventative treatments early! 

Recession Alert: Vincent Kartheiser

Mad Men's Vincent Kartheiser will have some extra time on his hands soon when his show ends, which he may want to use to seek counsel on his receding hairline. 

As you can see in the photo, Vincent, 34, is seeing some deep recession in the temporal region. In other words, his hairline is maturing, typical of an adult hairline, but fortunately for the young actor, he has an otherwise full head of hair. 

While 34 might seem early for hair loss, in reality, 30 percent of men in their 30s experience some degree of hair loss, with the risk jumping to 40 percent for men in their 40s. Were he to invest in regular Rogaine and Low Level Laser Therapy treatments now, he could prevent further recession while at the same time stimulating growth. 

 

When it comes to hair loss, preventative care is key. Science has proven if you wait until the hair loss is visible to the naked eye, you're too late - you've already lost 50 percent. In Vincent's case, it would be wise to consult a hair restoration specialist now and consider starting on preventative treatments.
