As hot weather continues, women with long hair often style their hair in a high ponytail or roll it up into a round bun, the so-called top-knot style. However, there are also women who find such styling difficult. These are women with an M-shaped forehead caused by hair loss.
In fact, hair loss, once thought to be exclusive to middle-aged men, has recently been on the rise among women who complain of hair loss symptoms due to various causes such as pregnancy and childbirth, hair dyeing, and stress.
In particular, for women who are inevitably sensitive about their appearance, hair loss can be a major source of stress. An angular M-shaped forehead can not only give a masculine impression but, in severe cases, may also be a main cause of an aged appearance.
As a result, many people have begun managing it through related products such as hair loss prevention shampoos and nutritional supplements. Recently, a growing number of people are also considering medical procedures such as hair transplants for more fundamental improvement.
A hair transplant is performed by transplanting healthy hair from the back of the head to the area affected by hair loss. It can be considered when the forehead is excessively wide or when the hairline is uneven, and it not only softens the forehead line but also has the effect of complementing the facial contour.
However, treatment should be carried out according to the precise cause and symptoms of the hair loss. An excessive hair transplant may instead create an unnatural image, and there are quite a few cases where this leads to revision surgery.
Yoo Hwa-jung, Representative Director of Modi Hair Plant Clinic, explained, "Recently, more and more women are considering hair transplants to improve their M-shaped forehead," adding, "Above all, for a hair transplant, a satisfactory corrective effect can be achieved only when the procedure is performed after designing a hairline that harmonizes with one's head shape and facial features, taking into account the overall facial proportions through sufficient consultation with the medical staff."
