Normal Hairline/Edges vs. Damaged Hairline/Edges - How Can You Tell?

One way you can tell if someone has damaged edges is if they have no visible hairline...period. Another way is if it seems they've literally taken a pair of shears and chopped their edges.

About your edges... (in a good way) girl they are fine. Don't worry.

Yes your edges and nape looks good to me as well.

Your hairline looks fine to me. It doesn't look thin. My edges are thin at my temples and above (see avi).

As for your widow's peak, maybe you could get it threaded, if it really bothers you. That's if your ok with the continued maintenance of that.

ETA: my nape is just like yours. It doesn't grow straight across

Looks like my hair on the right and left edges.

Well, I figured maybe like, trying to stimulate the hairs to grow where they are spaced so it makes a straight line across? Instead of having the peak shaved/threaded to make it straight. Is that possible? I like where my peak ends because it doesn't make my forehead look too big, but I want the rest of the hairline to also meet up to it, make sense? It would make it look more full, IMO. I mean, if it's NOT possible, then I'll just live with what I got.

That makes sense. I'm thinking if your hairline is just normally like that and it's not damaged, that growing it across straight may not happen b/c that's what genetics has given you.

this is something i have always wondered. my mum used to braid my hair quite tight, my edges really suffered, and this was like 5 years ago.
my edges are really short and springy they wont be smoothed back with any technique.

sorry for the quality

I dunno, the hairs on my front are thiiiin. I want them to be thicker like some of the women I've seen. Like, more filled-in looking to where you can't see the scalp! I dunno, maybe the shape of my hairline is just naturally weird. It's like I got an "M" shape at my nape and a "W" shape at the front. I want it straightened out without the spaces.

Have you ever had a full hairline? If not, that may just be your hairline.

I think a damaged hairline is one of those things where if you had it, you'd know. There would be no doubt in your mind that your hairline was damaged.
