Hello mwarsi! and welcome to the forum!

Absolutely you can have long hair if you want. That is not going to make your hairline recede. (unless it was really heavy from weight that was really long) The only reason I can think of that would hinder me from recommending you go for your long style is if you have a long face as long hair drags a face down and therefore could make your face look longer.

You really should find out what is making your hairline recede like that. Do you wear a hat a lot? And when it is long enough, do you wear it back into a ponytail? Anyone who wears a ponytail and has their hair pulled tightly back will cause the hairline to slowly move back. Wearing a hat a lot keeps the scalp from breathing and getting natural Vitamin D from the sun too.

Another reason is heredity. And believe it or not, you need to check with the male relatives from your mother's side of family.

Also ingesting things not good for your body and the lack of not eating correctly, thereby not getting enough of the right vitamins.

I know, it's a lot, but basically if you are healthy and eating right to stay healthy, your hair will show it.

Good luck!!!! And go for that longer style!
