Did you mean Forehead Hair?

Glossary Forehead Hair

hair growing at the front of the scalp

Forehead hair refers to the hair that grows at the front of the scalp, near the forehead. This area is often the first to show signs of hair thinning or recession, particularly in conditions like male or female pattern baldness. For professionals, understanding the growth patterns and density of forehead hair can be crucial for diagnosing and treating hair loss conditions.
