I am a 19 year old female with a deep widows peek. What can I do to straighten my hairline apart from laser removal? (Photo)

Question

My hair is Generally a little thin so I want to avoid laser which will lead to reduced volume. What are other practical ways are there to straighten my deep widows peek. I used to tie my hair in a tight pony tail all the time and used a tight stretch find across forehead which may have led to titration and encouraged this hairline. Will keeping my hair loose now help even the slightest for it to become normal again?

The good news is that baby hairs are visible in the picture provided. This along with your age, creates a viable ground for hair-growth. The hairline can be straightened using a combination of scalp microneedling, hair supplements and PRP hair treatment. However, these treatments take time to naturally boost the body and promote hair growth. For immediate results, scalp micropigmentation is recommended until the effects of the other treatments kick in.

FUE hair transplant can be an option for forehead reduction, correcting receding hair line and asymmetry on your frontal hair line/forelock. I advice you have a FUE with 1200-1500 grafts; you would achieve the desired hairline in just one session of dense packing hair transplant.

Hi There,
The widow's peak is usually genetic. Pulling your hair back may accentuate it if certain parts are pulled back under tension, but usually the widow's peak hairline is something you are born with. Laser hair removal is one option, but based on your description you don't want to lose volume there. Hair transplantation to the sides of the widow's peak is another good option to make the hairline more uniform and straight. This is definitely an option for you. You should consult with an experienced hair restoration surgeon first to determine if you are a candidate. Based on the hair on your scalp, on the back of your head, your family history, and other factors, you may benefit from a hair transplant to that frontal area.
Hope that helps!
