What would be the best way to reshape my hairline so that it is straight? (photos)

amandafritz137Jul 22, 2015
I have always been extremely self conscious of my large forehead especially the sides where it goes even farther up. It's hard to even style my hair where I would be able to hide the receeding sides.

Thank you for the good question. You are correct that migraine sufferers can find some relief with Botox injections. These have to be repeated or the migraines return. It does seem that some patients who have migraine headaches do experience relief with brow lifts. It is not clear how often this...
