Cowlick hair
Posted: 03-21-08 14:00pm

Hi,

I'm a 21-year old male, and have a question about my low hairline/random growths of hair I have lived with throughout my entire life. My hair is extremely thick (I'm Italian), and I probably won't be going bald any time soon in my life. However, I despise my hair and my hairline as well. It is only about an inch and a half above my eyebrows, and two patches of hair that extend down from the top left and right side of my hair prevent me from combing it in any way, shape, or form.

I used to think that it was normal, until I started getting older and seeing people with normal hairlines that were able to spike, part their hair, etc. My father or anyone else in my family never had this problem, and I have never seen nor come into contact with another human being that has it as well.

To better describe it, if I were to buzz my head down all the way, I would reveal two almost fang-resembling patches of hair coming from the sides of my hairline, that extend further than the middle of the hairline. So my main question is to whether or not it is something I will outgrow eventually or if I will have to get these removed by a laser one day.

I still can't see these going away even when my hairline does start receding (which I wish it would), mainly because they extend out longer than the actual middle of my hairline. Can anyone who has seen this or have any knowledge on whether or not I will outgrow this please help me?!!? Thanks!

hey, me and my brother have the same thing. his more thicker than mine, but its definately "fang-like" patches on the left and right sides. i find it extremely hard doing my hair where i have to lift it in the front. i some how try to adopt styles that blend in the hair from that side, usually something where my front bangs are forward or messy along the forehead. i used to do the faux hawk but its hard to work with those fang like patches. it just seems funny looking and out of place.

i would shave them but its too much maintenance and and it would start to grow stubbly. in my case it seems to be sllooowwwlly receding but maybe its because i wear a hat often. but i wish i could find a good style to blend them in.-
