    Glossary frontal forelock

    distinct hair patch above forehead, often resistant to hair loss

    The term "frontal forelock" refers to a distinct patch of hair located at the front of the scalp, typically above the forehead. This area is often more resistant to hair loss compared to other regions of the scalp, which is why it can remain prominent even in individuals experiencing male or female pattern baldness. For professionals, the frontal forelock is significant in hair restoration and styling as it plays a crucial role in the aesthetic framing of the face.
