What If I Can’t Wrinkle My Brow?
Hi, I read your “Juvenile vs Mature Hairline” article I found it very informing. However, I am unable to wrinkle my forehead. Is there any other way to check if I’m getting a mature hairline or actually balding. I’m 19 by the way.
P. S. Is there a DIY way to identify miniturized hairs?
Yes, you can also measure the distance from the tip of your chin to the tip of your nose (#1). Knowing that distance, you can look between your eyes at the top of the nose (in the hollow between your eyes) and go up to the forehead using the measurement you got in #1. That usually points to the location of the mid-line lowest point for the mature hairline. Note in the image at right, the white and red lines are the same length.
When I look to determine the mature hairline in my male patients, I usually do both measurements. The wrinkled brow is 100%, while the alternative measurement method discussed above usually runs an accuracy of about 90%.
As for mapping your own scalp for miniaturization, we wrote a 3 part series about that.
Wrinkled brow is 100%? My hairline has always been above my highest wrinkle! Unless this is to determine the location of the forehead muscles and not necessarily where the hairline definitely was.
My god that guy is adorable in that photo.
The photo is one of those computer generated “ideal face” examples from a German study, so it would explain why he’s so handsome.
Very interesting. So the guy in the photo is not real? Wow. I was also going to remark that if you wanted to use that face as an idea example of what to shot for in plastic surgery that would be the one. Or, if you wanted to explain aging and what the face looks like before the aging process begins that would be a good model. No naso-labial folds, not a line or wrinkle on the forehead, no jowls, no marionette lines, and of course perfect skin. Now if you made that guy a NW5 he’d still look good.
What’s also weird is that a computer can generate a face that looks good and not come up with some fake, mannequin-like thing. Sort of like over-or- poorly done plastic surgery with is horrible because it makes a person look fake.
Hi, I just used this measurement and the line I get from the chin to nose, extends beyond my hairline when I place it at the point between the eyes, does this mean my hairline is still juvenille? The eyebrow thing, well I don’t think it will work with me as my hairline is quite high: looking at old pics shows me it hasn’t moved. However, the corners of temples seem less, Last year was the first time I noticed the loss in the temples and I was so annoyed that the small hairs that were there, I shaved them off, now after about 5months the corners seem to have come back stronger with some newer darker hairs; could this loss have been due to stress?
