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.
