Is it normal to have small hairs (vellus and miniaturized looking) in front of the hairline?

It might be normal to have higher than normal miniaturization in front of scalp but if it continues past the frontal 5-10 mm of hairline, it generally indicate active hair loss.  A thorough miniaturization study or microscopic evaluation of scalp can determine whether you have active hair loss. 

yes, it is normal to have small , fuzzy hairs(vellus and miniaturized hair ) in front of hair line in mature man and woman  especially after adolescence. 

The frontal hairline normally has all types of different hairs. As a male hairline undergoes "hairline maturation" (HLM) these changes are also seen. Also, as the hairline ungoes true balding (androgenetic alopecia), these changes are also seen. See a hair specialist to determine if this is a normal phenomenon or whether this is due to hairline maturation (HLM) or whether this is due to balding.
