Other types of hairlines and what they reveal about your ancestry:
1. M-shaped
An M-shaped hairline (seen in celebs like Harry Styles) is often signified by a subtle recession near the temples. For many people, it can mean a history of male-pattern baldness and early hair loss.
2. Receding hairline
Another sign of male pattern baldness, these signs can often show up as early as adolescence and appear via a thinning at the temple, which causes recessions on both sides of the forehead. In women, a receding hairline can sometimes signify different kinds of alopecia.
3. High/low hairline
These are common for women. A high hairline that keeps moving higher can be a sign of women’s hair loss, while a low hairline (seen in celebrities like Priyanka Chopra) means less of a distance between the brows and hairline.
4. Mature hairline
Although men experience a receding hairline more dramatically than women, women will start to experience thinner hair surrounding the temples and forehead as they get older.
5. Uneven hairline
Some hairlines can be uneven, unlike a straight, triangular, or M-shaped hairline. Some people try to straighten this hairline using hair transplants or hair removal methods.
6. Cowlick
TA cowlick is a swirl of hair growing in a different direction from the other hairs. Both men and women can experience this, but it typically appears at the hairline.
