Widow's Peak?

[Antipodienne]

I have a very pronounced center widow's peak, and two little ones toward the outside of my forehead. The overall effect is that my hairline turns my forehead into a heart shape. It's kinda cute, if you ask me. ;)
So what does your hairline look like? Is it flat, pointy, a nice creative squiggle?

[Mirsha]

Widow's peak here too. The hairs always tend to stay short there and some of them even curl! One of my friends once said that I looked liked superman with it D:

Overall my hairline's not very even, looks worse when brushed back so I just tend to keep it down, or at least not brushed back.

Not to mention the fact that my widow's peak acts like a cowlick, LOL

[Antipodienne]

Ha! I just had a zany idea. What if we all posted our hairline shapes as our statuses on Facebook and really give everyone a thrill...pointy, flat, curly, etc. All of those shorthairs out there would be scratching their heads in confusion...:D

[StarryNight]

I have a widow's peak as well, thanks to my dad. :) Mine is easily identifiable as a widow's peak, but soft, my father's look like Eddie Munster. :D

[Sammich]

My widows peak is quite soft. I love it! :D Gives an awesome elfy/vampirey unique look in my opinion. Shows in my profile pic:

It does make my face look rather heart shaped instead of the undesirable (on my face) square/round face I have.

LOL at the idea! I'd so do it. Count me in? ;)

[lapushka]

Small widow's peak here, quite subtle actually, and barely noticeable if I wear my hair to the side.

[JulietCapulet]

I have a widow's peak, but it's not as pronounced as it was when I was in high school and younger. I have never liked it but, oh well! It me feel like a vampire because unlike the photo above mine is really and was really sharp.

[Hana]

small, yet obvious widows peak here.
cant have a centre parting with it!
it doesnt bother me, in any way. got it from my mum. :D

[little_cherry]

I also have a widows peak! In college, someone was playing with a lighter and back in the day, I used hair spray......I lost about 1" of my hair line including the wp and my scalp was burnt :( Now, it's growing back thanks to castor oil! The hair is growing in coarser, but eventually it will be perfect again!

[Vermelha]

LOL, I shaved mines off recently. But I have a tiny V, and since it's curly, it looks like this weird, s-shaped squiggle. I put castor oil in my hair for the past week and it's growing in coarser though, which does make me happy. I buzz cut my nape too for a more even, presentable appearance when I wear updos, but even that hair is growing in coarser. I'll just let it grow this time to see what happens.

[kittensoupnrice]

No widow's peak here. :(
I've always wanted one, too, but no such luck.
My best friend has a reverse widow's peak. She hates it.

[LisaMonster]

I have a hate-hate relationship with my hairline. I have like... half a widow's peak. I don't like it at all.

[Yeesha]

I have one too. I like it, makes a nice starting point for measuring the hairlength. ;)
And because the hair above my temples is so thin, my face would be quite heart-shaped if I would comb all the hair back. I don't really like this part of my hairline, I wish I had a little more hair there... Ah well. At least I like my widow's peak. :) Took me some time to really like it.

[cuddledumplin]

I have a widow's peak too. Mine is pretty slight, and I kind of like it.

[lapushka]

I have one too. I like it, makes a nice starting point for measuring the hairlength. ;)

<snicker> And I thought I was the only one! ;) :cheese:

[Anywhere]

I wish i had a widow's peak. my hairline is square i guess.. straight across on the top and then straight down for maybe an inch and a half, then back an inch, then down to my sideburns.

[Eniratak]

I have a slight off center widow's peak. XD.

[Nastasia]

LisaMonster, that's exactly what my hairline looks like :). I think I rather like it.

[faeflame]

I have a widow's peak also, then thinnnish indented temples before the hair swings back in towards my face a bit. I have had bangs for most of my life so I didn't realize it until OP said it, but yes they give my oval face a pseudo-heart shape.

[Capybara]

I have a widows peak. It was much more pronounced when I was younger. Now, it's very subtle - my bangs probably conceal it as well. I like it.

[Qwackie]

I have no Widow's Peak. My hairline's completely straight.

[Vermelha]

I have no Widow's Peak. My hairline's completely straight.

Oh, how I wish my hairline were completely straight. Every time I buzz off my Widow's Peak, it grows back in like a week. Boo! Makes my forehead look like the McDonald's golden arches, lol.

[mira-chan]

I have a widow's peak, about medium size I'd guess.

[christine1989]

My hairline is so boring- it is the same all the way around :(.

[jasper]

I don't like mine. It make me feel like Eddie Munster (http://www.gamezone.com/images/screenshots/Eddie_Munster.jpg). I always wear bangs to hide it.

[akuamoonmaui]

I would love to have a widow's peak! Mom has one, did I get it? No. Do I have almost EVERY other feature she does? Yes! Agh. Oh well.

[Raekwon]

My natural hairline is an oval, but I get it squared up (edge up / line up / taper)

[kwaniesiam]

Slight widow's peak in the front, 3 points in the back on my nape.

[narydaco]

I have one too, courtesy of my mom. A rather pronounced one in the center of my forehead and another one on the right side below my temple (a little one on the left too but not as noticeable). I hate them! I don't have bangs (maybe I should?) but I am very careful when I pull my hair back. It's always loose enough to hide my hideous hairline!

[bluesnowflake]

Small widow's peak here- it's not too noticeable since I wear my hair side-parted- I just don't puul it straight back because then I think it looks a little silly on me.

[LisaMonster]

LisaMonster, that's exactly what my hairline looks like :). I think I rather like it.

Aww, what's up, widow's peak twin!

You've made me decide to start embracing mine. At least it's unique? :)

[baaaad_kitty]

I have a small widow's peak, not very noticeable but I can't part my hair in the middle or it goes all funny. Plus with my bull horn waves, it's annoying!

EDIT: I just realized my bull horn waves are cowlicks. Grr. And right at the hairline!

[triumphator!]

Slight widow's peak in the front, 3 points in the back on my nape.

Same here :)

[squiggyflop]

i have my mommy's hair line
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/kidmol/mickeymouseapril3rd2008.jpg
my brother's widows peak is waaay more pronounced than mine

and yes i know my part is off center in the pick.. my widows peak doesnt like to be parted so i always have to part just to the side of it

[Inchworm]

I didn't know that i had a willows peak untill I pulled the part back into a ponytail and had like, 3 people comment on it. I think its the reasons for my cowlicks on either side *sigh*

[cataphract]

I have only a very slight widow's peak, but I have a weird hairline about where my eyebrows extend - They almost touch, and there's kind of a no-man's land of pseudo eyebrow hairs that grow in (mercifully light blond) there that I usually just pull out when I clean up my eyebrows.

[princessp]

My hairline is so wonky! I think this is a widow's peak (or three)...

http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad240/princesspandora1/widowspeak.jpg

[musicallberrii]

LisaMonster, I think your hairline is really cute and unique!

[Messyhair]

I have what I consider a "kinda strong" widow's peak. I hated it when I was younger because side parts make my face look best but the hairline looks awful! It seems to have gotten better/less pronounced as I've gotten older. Or I've grown more tolerant. :o

[Beets]

I have a widow's peak, though I have no idea if it's considered pronounced or not. It's definitely noticeable, especially since my hairline is low to begin with. I used to lament that I couldn't wear shorter bangs; anything shorter than chin length parts right at the peak and curls into bull-horn waves on either side of it. (Baaaad_kitty, I never knew what to call them! But of course that's what they are!)

But I've always liked that my hairline is a little different. I think it adds character! (Though, at this stage in the game, I could probably use a little less of that...)

[megpeg]

I have a widow's peak, but I kind of like mine!!:p It's not gigantic or anything, but it is noticeable. I think they are unique. Always wondered what it might be like to have a different shaped hairline though.
Kind of an odd thing to wonder about lol.

[Ash]

I used to have a really pronounced one but in early high school I stole my mother's tweezers and plucked it out. It never grew back and that made me much happier. If only other hair I pluck out would stay gone as well.... Now I have a rounded and mostly even hair line at the top.

[tigerlily38]

I have one :)

[meggykins]

I sort of have a widow's peak...but my hairline is way too crooked and i have a cowlick right on top of it to really notice.

[DARKMARTIAN]

I seem to be totally devoid of a central widows peak. But I do seem to have some slight "outcroppings" on each side ...:)
I guess overall, my hairline is in the shape of a hefty three leaf shamrock or something :o

(please disregard gray streak :p)

[Jules diamond]

I don't have one at all. Neither do most of my family members. x3 I think if I did though, I'd appreciate the extra bit of hair. I wonder if having a widow's peak makes it look better when you have bangs because there's fullness?

[Theobroma]

I have one. I really have no feelings about it one way or another, except that the hair right there doesn't grow straight out, but lies towards the right and so my hairline ends up looking crooked if I do a centre part. It only really looks symmetrical if I scrape my hair straight back, but as I quite like that look on me, I'm OK with it.

[RadiantNeedle]

I think I have a semi-peak... Well, I used to any way. Now I seem to be getting an anti-peak with all this stupid shedding >.<'



(please disregard gray streak :p)

No! *stares*

[Whimsical wind]

I have a little one, but it's slowly getting more pronounced and I love it! It's the closest I'll ever come to having hair like Willow's from Buffy. :p

[RoseRed27]

I love my widow's peak! It is quite pronounced and pointy. :D Sometimes I actually enhance it with powder (like one would for thin brows). I usually wear my hair in a center part that happens to show off my widow's peak.

I'm also an artist, and nearly all my depictions of people have widow's peaks. I was drawing a little caricature version of my friend when she said "I don't have one of those:confused:". I wasn't even aware that I was "adding" one. That was just how I drew hair! :p

According to wikipedia ;) There is a tradition of depicting "villains" with widow's peaks. And of course, as far as I'm concerned, a vampire isn't a vampire without a widow's peak! Just kidding, as I didn't notice too many in "Interview with a Vampire" (which is the ONLY legitimate modern vampire movie! That's right I said it! *mutter* glitter???:rolleyes: *grumble*).

*Ducks stones thrown by Twilight fans*

Anyhoo, the "villain" association makes it all the better for me. I'm a Scorpio and I think it adds to my "street cred". :cool: lol!

[Jeno86]

I am very envious when I see a widow's peak. I want one so badly that I have honestly given thought to having my hair surgically changed to do it. Like those "stop balding now" commercials where they take hair from the back of your head and "plant" it into the front.

[Tabitha]

I have a widow's peak, though I have no idea if it's considered pronounced or not. It's definitely noticeable, especially since my hairline is low to begin with. I used to lament that I couldn't wear shorter bangs; anything shorter than chin length parts right at the peak and curls into bull-horn waves on either side of it. (Baaaad_kitty, I never knew what to call them! But of course that's what they are!)
I'm giving up the unequal struggle with my widow's peak and the resulting cowlicks, and I'm finally growing out my fringe (bangs). I had exactly the trouble that you describe: when I was a teenager my obnoxious younger brothers used to tease me about my "horns".

To make my fringe lie flat, I had to wash it each morning and blowdry it and frankly, I've had enough. I'm embracing my high forehead and hoping I'll look classically elegant without a fringe. :hmm:

[bedazzlecat]

I have a hairline shape a lot like the OP. A widow's peak in the middle, and kinda one on each side. I have a cowlick on the right side which is where my natural part is. But this is all covered with short bangs. :D I like bangs because they highlight my eyebrows and face shape as long as I keep them short.

[thatjengirl1]

i have a very very tiny widow's peak. just there enough to notice. :)

[Lianna]

I also have a widow's peak. Use to hate it. "A heart shape" lovely way to put it, I'll see if I can see it on myself, my hairline seems like yours. (actually just posted in another thread)

[naturegirl321]

I hate, hate, HATE my widow's peak :( It must be the Romanian in me. I have less hair because of it, don't like the way my forehead looks, and think it looks man-ish :(

[Browniegirl]

I have a really pointy widows peak, and with my darker hair, it look's even more pronounced.Everyone in my family has one...even all my cousins.

[patienceneeded]

Widows peak here too. I like it, I feel it frames my face nicely. DD also has one, hers seems more pronounced than mine though.

[longlockenvy]

my hair line and face shape are almost identical to christina ricci's.. if she gained a few pounds. lol when i was thinner, i was told I looked a lot like her. oh the good ol days..

[Lianna]

There's this beautiful girl in the Narnia movie that has a widow's peak. Made me feel better about mine, maybe makes you feel better about yours too!

[naturegirl321]

I got sick of the cowlicks and trying to hide it that I finally broke down and plucked it. I' finally have a straight hairline! :)

[Yasmine91]

I don't have a widows peak, mine is completely round :)

CHibbylick, I don't think you ahve a widow's peak. I should post mine. I look like a vampire.

[grrlshapedthing]

i have such a severe widows peak that it prevents me having blunt straight fringe it's always too thick in the center

[T.L.T.]

I have a little bit of a widows peak. I used to hate it, but I like it now :)
