Receding hairline (as opposed to hair falling out randomly), is due to kidney weakness. It is not due simply to genetics, or whatever people say. That is what allopathic medicine says all the time when asked for an explanation "oh well...genes might play a role".
The health of the kidneys manifests into the hair. It can also be seen looking at the under-eyes. Puffy bags indicates kidney yang deficiency. Darkness/sunken in under-eyes indicates kidney yin deficiency.
The kidneys act as a battery for the body, and so if a certain organ is getting stressed out, the kidney will give up some of its energy. Also, in a general sense, if you are pushing yourself past your limits, the kidneys will expend more energy.
The above is likely the main cause of your issue. Modern clownworld is full of many bad practices that will make someone expend too much kidney energy.
In all of the below cases, the kidney has to come and rescue the afflicted organ(s).
This includes:
-Leaving "chronic" health issues unfixed (get TCM counseling or treatment)
-Staying up past 11pm (worse recovery and requires more energy to be spent, for the organs)
-Excessive sexual activity caused by porn (Explanation here)
-Eating large meals before bed, eating a large dinner (stomach is most active in morning, not evening)
-Excessive consumption of cooling foods or raw foods (weakens stomach)
-Excessive consumption of sugar (weakens spleen and stagnates liver)
-Excessive consumption of meat/oil per meal (weakens stomach and stagnates liver)
-Not eating enough green veggies (stagnates liver, lets general acidity/toxicity build up)
-Consumption of stimulants (the energy is not "free", rather it comes from the kidney)
-Overworking (don't push to burnout. most efficient breaks are yoga nidra breaks)
-Skipping meals, or substituting them with shitty snacks
-Exposure to toxins through polluted food, water, and daily products of all kinds
-Lack of exercise of some kind
-Not eating/exercising for your dosha/body type, leading to imbalances (Start here)

You can see it in the younger generations, where a great degree of the male population is balding sooner. Of course, the genetics of the population did not suddenly all change overnight. The reality is that the above lifestyle problems have gotten worse.
FIxing these, then following up with yoga/qigong, or herbal treatments/acupoint massage will provide for the best means of healing. I'd recommend herbs, but it is better you get personalized advice for this.
Going all the way until you regrow your hair is possible, and I have read of multiple people doing it. It is not necessarily easy though, as you need to be adding more energy than you remove from the kidneys. It is definitely within one's reach to arrest the loss of their hairline, however.
There is nothing wrong with shaving your head if you need to. You need to make a judgment call if your hairline is bad enough or not. If it is pretty bad and looks unkempt, then consider shaving it. You can always let it grow back if the hair comes back in the future.
