Bald patches in the temple area and too high forehead

The hairline around the face is critical. It creates the basis for the entire hairstyle and affects the perception of the face. With the help of a good thick growth line, you can disguise a flaw, shade your skin color, and highlight your eyes. And with the help of a high hairstyle, open the neck, emphasize the line of the eyebrows and cheekbones, and place the necessary accents on the face. All this will work only if the growth line is lush and even. When there are significant bald patches in the temple area or the entire growth line has gone back, the face looks completely different.

Forehead

The forehead plays a dominant role in the interpretation of the image. The frontal part clearly reflects the entire life path of a person, as well as his level of intelligence. To more accurately read the face, the Chinese divide the frontal region into three zones, each of which represents an aspect of the human spirit.

The first zone in the Chinese art of face reading is considered the celestial region. It reflects a person’s intelligence, his ability for logical thinking as a divine gift. How an individual uses this gift will determine his future fate.

The second zone is the human region. Here life leaves its traces, that is, interpreters can see what a person has acquired as a result of upbringing and experience, what morals he has learned.

The third zone is the earth region. It reflects intuition acquired through experience. These zones provide information for different periods of life: the celestial region represents 30 years, the human region the period between 30 and 60 years, and the terrestrial region the last phase of life.

After 30 years, as a rule, the first wrinkles appear. They are also important signs. For example, according to Chinese interpretation, two or three horizontal wrinkles on the forehead are indicators of happiness. A single wrinkle located quite high indicates a habit of mental work. The fold below is interpreted as a sign of limited mental activity.

But even more important is the overall balance of these zones. They can be smooth and even or well defined and convex. The ideal shape of the forehead is said to be smooth, evenly convex in all three zones, and also high and wide. Such a forehead indicates an excellent state of body and spirit, and this is already a considerable capital.

Along with individual forehead shapes, below are the most characteristic hairline shapes, as this line affects the shape of the forehead. Siang Ming points out the endless options for hairlines. Let's look at the most common options.

Broad forehead

A wide forehead indicates high intelligence. A person who has it can calmly open his forehead. His sharp mind is always ready to adequately respond to a challenge.

People with broad foreheads have ideals and, as a rule, have spiritual capital. These are fighters for their own and others' rights. They know how to quickly adapt to any new situation. If they need to get to the bottom of the truth, they develop wild energy and are not afraid of failure. However, even in the heat of excitement, they do not forget about the good manners that they were taught.

A wide forehead with a low hairline is worthy of special study. In this case, we have before us a theorist who is only in exceptional cases able to use his knowledge for practical purposes. In extreme situations, this person may become confused and appear lazy, unenergetic, and even stupid. Sometimes such people completely lack any idea of ​​justice.

The family becomes a yoke for them, as it requires spiritual and financial support. Demands that seem unfair to them often make them embittered. Perhaps the reason for this lies in the imbalance of such a person, the negative impression of which is enhanced by the painful distrust inherent in this type of person.

It's even worse when a low hairline is combined with a wide but low forehead. Then insensitivity and greed are often added to the already mentioned negative signs.

However, do not think that everyone with a low hairline is destined for a sad fate. Among them there are many people who gravitate toward practical activities. Possessing innate dexterity in the craft, they can gain a strong position in life.

What if you have acne?

Another problem that is relatively common is acne along the hairline.

There are several proven folk methods that will help you get rid of rashes on your forehead.

Pimples along the hairline can be removed using masks made from natural ingredients.

If you have acne along your hairline, try these tips:

• Rinse your skin daily with water and natural lemon juice - this way you can slightly dry the skin and reduce sebaceous secretions;
• In the morning, carry out tonic procedures with ice - for this, use frozen decoctions of medicinal herbs, for example, chamomile or calendula. By doing this you will not only reduce the amount of sebaceous secretions, but also provide the skin with herbal nutrition.

Masks will also help in solving the problem. We have selected three effective recipes for you.

Subcutaneous acne not only looks disgusting, but is also incredibly painful.

The reason for their appearance may be:

• failure to comply with hygiene rules;
• poor skin care;
• too intensive use of cosmetics;
• various microtraumas and damages;
• diseases of internal organs;
• poor nutrition;
• hormonal disorders.

Subcutaneous pimples should not be squeezed out!

Among the most effective methods of control:

• compress from Vishnevsky ointment;
• lubricating the site of abscesses with iodine;
• rubbing acne with lemon juice;
• wiping with syntomycin emulsion diluted with water;

Narrow forehead

According to Siang Ming, this forehead shape indicates extremely unfavorable personality traits. A narrow forehead indicates limitations and pessimism. It seems that the tendency towards chaos in thoughts and emotions is inherent in this stupid person from the cradle.

He is not able to think logically, so he commits imprudent actions. Such people, of course, themselves suffer from their own character. The situation changes dramatically if the forehead tapers upward and there is a high hairline. In this case, the personality has a mind that is hidden under the ovoid shape of the skull. Such people are helped out in life by humor and charm.

In the most favorable case, such a forehead has a high hairline. It feels smooth and well sculpted. Looking at a person with such a forehead, one can, as a rule, draw a conclusion about his high intelligence, ability to carefully analyze everything and act decisively. Behind this thinker's forehead often hides an extraordinary mind. This forehead shape can be observed in scientists.

People with such a forehead tend to make decisions only after mature reflection. Their ability to ignore unimportant things allows them to almost always make the only right decision. People with high foreheads sometimes seem eccentric at times, but they are distinguished by their responsiveness and great tolerance towards their loved ones.

A low forehead indicates the joyless years of childhood and adolescence. It is important for these people to realize as early as possible that they should not rely on others for help. They tend to be conservative and blindly adhere to traditions. Therefore, it is difficult for them to accept new things. People with this type of forehead avoid talking about their feelings, so very often they communicate them in writing. Positive qualities of this type of personality include unpretentiousness and the ability to choose the best from given conditions, taking into account one’s capabilities. A sense of reality saves them from deep disappointments.

How to change the RVF

A plastic surgeon can change the hairline through surgery. This may be a correction in which the forehead line moves upward or hair follicles are transplanted to bald areas.

In particularly complex cases, several operations using a combination of these methods may be required. If the forehead line is too low, laser hair removal is simply performed.

Correction of the hairline on the forehead

Indications

There are certain indications and contraindications for the operation. Most often, such manipulation is decided upon in the presence of:

• Uneven delineation of the hair border;
• The need to make the forehead more feminine (used for women, and also as part of the feminization of transvestites);
• To harmonize facial proportions;
• When bald spots form;
• Too low forehead;
• The presence of vellus hair along the hairline, which disrupts the correct outline.

This is what testimony is all about. As can be seen from them, in addition to signs of alopecia and hereditary characteristics of the form, corrections of a simply aesthetic nature can be carried out.

Contraindications

These are the main indicators of the pros and cons of such an intervention. They are relevant for any group of patients, both women and men. In this case, it makes no difference whether the defects are simply corrected or the procedure is carried out as a component of the process of feminization of transsexuals.

Preparation

You also need to undergo a number of specialists, including a dermatologist-trichologist, a dentist, and also, if required, highly specialized specialists, depending on the identified abnormalities in the functioning of the patient’s body.

Operation

The operation is quite simple and consists of a number of steps:

• General or local anesthesia is administered depending on the extent of the intervention;
• Antiseptic treatment of the integument is carried out;
• An incision is made along the hairline in the required location;
• A section of skin on the forehead is removed;
• The upper border moves down by pulling the integument with the scalp to the desired area;
• Tissues are fixed in a new position by endotins;
• Sutures are placed on the incision, and a patch and bandage are placed over them.

If local anesthesia is used, the patient is sedated at the same time.

In one treatment, your hairline can be reduced by 0.5 to 1 inch.

The sutures are removed after a week, after which the patient can resume his normal daily life. You can wash your hair one day after the operation.

Other methods

Other methods mean:

• Hair follicle transplant;
• Laser treatment to improve hair growth in the treated area.

Some people solve this problem by using less dangerous techniques if the defect is minor. An example would be changing your hairstyle, creating bangs, and much more.

Flat or concave forehead

People with flat foreheads have difficulty making decisions. But these slow-moving natures nevertheless tend to get involved in independent business, which carries a high degree of risk. They don't get along well with their superiors. Their constant struggle for their rights and tendency to interfere in everything often turns them into lone fighters.

In addition, people with flat or concave foreheads have very unstable ideas about morality. These negative qualities do not allow flat-headed people to be considered particularly worthy of love.

Gifted with creative imagination, they often put their ideas into practice. In this case, they are guaranteed success.

Smooth or rounded forehead

Chinese interpreters consider a smooth or rounded forehead to be the most favorable shape. People with such a forehead are distinguished by clear thinking, intelligence and the ability to take decisive action. They have a special talent of always being in the right place at the right time. This is a fairly flexible character, able to adapt without wasting itself on unacceptable compromises. However, these people can be blinded by their own splendor, which gives them a certain arrogance.

Both in their personal life and in their work, they should not silently endure failures. They can be confident in the support of friends and family.

Thanks to their flexible character, they are open to everything new, so success is guaranteed to them. One more thing - these people do not tend to rest on their laurels.

Arched hairline on forehead

An arched hairline allows us to conclude that there is a combination of excellent qualities. A characteristic feature of such a person is his focus exclusively on the economy. Thanks to his analytical skills and strong morals, he often occupies leadership positions in the field of economics. People with an arched hairline are often famous (sometimes notorious). Mostly they succeed. However, they are usually indifferent to it, or at least pretend to be, because they strive to pick up new ideas. Their calm nature allows them to show respect and goodwill towards loved ones and subordinates.

This applies to both men and women. Women with this forehead shape can also be found in leadership positions. They also show a clear tendency towards professional independence.

Why doesn't hair grow on the sides of my head?

If hair does not grow on the sides of the head since childhood, then this can be a congenital feature, and when it appears in adolescence or adulthood, it is one of the signs of hormonal imbalance, lack of vitamins, and changes in the tone of the autonomic nervous system. To stimulate growth, a diet containing enough zinc, copper, vitamins and special compounds - furocoumarins - is indicated. The following products are useful:

• liver;
• squid, mussels, shrimp;
• fresh greens, broccoli, lettuce;
• oranges, grapefruit, lemon;
• figs;
• celery;
• oatmeal and buckwheat porridge, pearl barley, millet.

Topical application of a solution of Minoxidil and nicotinic acid is recommended. In some cases, the endocrinologist prescribes hormonal drugs, since this form of hair growth is often accompanied by an excess of male sex hormones. The following procedures are recommended in cosmetology clinics:

• manual or hardware massage of the scalp;
• darsonvalization - exposure to an electrode in the form of a comb with alternating current discharges;
• mesotherapy – local subcutaneous injections of vitamins, hormones, caffeine and other hair growth stimulants;
• oxygen and ozone therapy – a mixture of ozone and oxygen is injected under the skin to restore metabolic processes and activate blood flow;
• laser shower on the scalp;
• microionization – medicinal substances are introduced into the skin using microcurrents;
• galvanic peeling – serums with a peeling effect are applied to an electrode in the form of a comb; it is often used before applying hair growth stimulants for deeper penetration;
• ultrasound exposure and administration of medications (phonophoresis);
• electrical stimulation – carried out by electric pulse currents;
• cryotherapy - massage with an applicator soaked in liquid nitrogen.

If medications and physical therapy have no effect, then a hair transplant is prescribed.

V-shaped hairline on forehead

Loyalty to traditions, dexterity, instinct, determined by heredity, dominate the V-shaped hairline in a person’s character. Thanks to the tradition of their upbringing, they easily fit into the hierarchical structure of society, which allows them to achieve authority in some areas of life and profession.

A person with such a character can easily squander money because he is fickle and does several things at once.

Women with this forehead shape find it most difficult to bring their goals and feelings into harmony. Maybe that's why they almost always conflict at work. Without a doubt, men and women have great eroticism and sensuality. The fluids of passion emanating from them make us assume certain qualities in them in this regard.

Men with a V-shaped hairline are often somewhat flirtatious, which in no way diminishes their inner masculinity.

According to Siang Ming, the first two years of marriage for this type of woman can be like a horror movie. They are brought up in a traditional way, but the role of a wife does not satisfy them when it comes down to it. If this period is overcome without serious mental loss, then the connection becomes especially strong.

Three-arched forehead hairline shape

This hairline shape is not very common. Maybe this is for the best, since Chinese interpreters attribute unfavorable prognoses to the owners of such a forehead. People with a three-arched hairline require great effort and iron discipline towards themselves to achieve at least satisfactory success. There is also a possibility of health deterioration after 30 years of age due to the need to earn a living through hard physical labor.

Covering problem areas with hairstyle

This is the most gentle action - covering the unsightly areas with your hair. To do this you need to select the following:

• Cut off the bangs and close the unsightly line.
• Unravel the curls and hide problem areas under them.
• Do a hairstyle with increased volume and the flaw will easily be hidden under it.
• Apply varnish, first smoothing unruly strands and giving them the desired shape.

All of the above manipulations are good because they do not require material costs or a lot of time to disguise the problem with the hairstyle.
