I recently heard from a woman who told me that in the past two years she had noticed her hairline getting wider. In fact, she said that if she compared photos of herself from a few years ago with photos from today, her scalp poking through her dividing line was much more noticeable in recent photos of her. She asked, “Now that I suspect there is a problem with my part, I am starting to notice that some women just show more scalp on their part line. Why is this happening? Is it normal? No I don’t like the way it looks and I’m worried it will be too noticeable in the future.” I will try to address these concerns in the following article.

Some women naturally have a wider dividing line: Your parting line is that area of ​​your hair right at the top of your head where your hair parts and falls on both sides. This doesn’t happen if you pull your hair back or put it in a ponytail, but most people see their parting line unless they deliberately style their hair differently. If your hair is thicker and you have more, your parting line will often be quite thin or barely noticeable because there are a lot of strands sticking up on both sides. But if your hair is thinner or sparser, you may have a wider line because there is less hair on both sides.

Some women typically have finer textured hair or fewer strands and this has always been true for them. In fact, many women can look at photos of themselves as a child and notice that their part looks similar to how it does now. In this case, you may not be talking about hair loss, thinning hair, or an androgenic problem because the part you see now is the part you’ve always had and this is what’s normal for you.

Sometimes your parting line shows more scalp due to hair loss or hair thinning issues: It can be normal for hair to thin as we age. Few of us have the same head of hair that we had as a teenager. But people without noticeable hair loss problems generally have enough hair to adequately cover all areas of their scalp, including their part.

And sometimes when this is no longer happening, you will want to explore if you have hair loss, thinning hair, or an androgenic problem. Probably the most common cause of seeing more scalp is androgenetic alopecia (or AGA). fine and miniaturized as it grows back, meaning more hair is needed to provide the same coverage.

Of course, any problem that causes reasonably dramatic hair loss can cause changes in the coverage you have on your scalp. If you have less hair (for whatever reason), you’ll have less coverage to work with. However, the upper part of the scalp is a common area where androgenic problems are normally seen, although the presence of a wide dividing line does not always mean that AGA is present. There are many possibilities. Sometimes the coverage is what is normal for the person. And other times, a hair loss or thinning problem is occurring and has yet to be identified.
