The receeding hairline is very common. That should be not a point of worry.
Even many Hollywood actresses have it.
This might be genetic and nothing to do will hairloss

Hi dear. As mentioned earlier you cannot advance your hairline by use of minoxidil. Hair transplant or forehead reduction are the only possible options. Both are quite radical at your age. A conservative approach by change of hair style could be more appropriate. Do consult online if you want to discuss these options.

Hair cannot be grown in areas where there are no hair follicles. Minoxidil will not help at all.
