Glossary Frontal Scalp

area of the scalp at the front of the head

The frontal scalp, also known as the frontal hairline or forehead scalp, refers to the area of the scalp located at the front of the head, just above the forehead. This region is significant in both cosmetic and medical contexts, as it is often the first area to show signs of hair thinning or recession, particularly in conditions like male or female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
