Or is a receding hairline hereditary?

Such hair loss can be due to traction alopecia.
"Typically, traction alopecia is associated with sustained tension on the scalp hair. In theory, this phenomenon can also occur on areas of the face where hair is grown and styled. Traction causes hair to loosen from its follicular roots; however, hair loss also occurs secondary to follicular inflammation and atrophy. Hair loss is often symmetric and along the frontotemporal hairline; occipital scalp involvement is less common. Vellus hair is usually spared in the affected area." http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic895.htm

Receding hairlines can be hereditary, but the stress of the pulling on the hair root during the anagen phase of growth can eventually kill the root and it will stop producing hair.

yes, pulling hair back tightly attributes to hair loss
