Anyone else notice hairlines like this?

So since worry about my hair, I've noticed hairlines a lot more, especially people with no loss.

The corners of my hairline have always had thinner triangles of thinner blonde hair and when parting either side, it looks thin.

If you look at pictures of Leonardo Dicaprio when he was younger, his is the same. Almost as if those hairs are miniturizing and gonna fall out sometime, but they're still there (they look thicker if anything)

Here's a pic: http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee13 ... o_0301.jpg

With me when I pull my hair back, the hairline is mostly straight, but with a part, especially when wet, those little hairs don't seem to show up and it makes me look like I have a slight widows peak,

But some people have the same thickness of hair across their hairline, where ever they part it, it's still the same. Brad Pitt for example.

Is there a reason why the hair is naturally thinner on some people on these parts of their head? I've noticed it with women as well. Is this hair that has a very slowly hair loss cycle or something?

Dicaprio has had work done, my guess. He sure used to wear a lot of hats.

No way has Dicaprio had anything done.

Lighting, gel, etc. all can make hair look thinner than it actually is. Dicaprio's has had about the same density since he was a teen, if you look closely he's probably had slight recession aka mature hair line but the dude isn't balding that's for sure.

That's most likely due to not wanting to be recognized, look at photos of celebs and they often wear shades and hats to conceal their face. Or he just likes wearing hats.

What I'm getting at is, is it normal to have those light hairs and less density on the sides like Leo does? Or are those bits hair that will eventually fall out? Even nearing 80 or something? Leo can't really part his hair like Brad Pitt for example without it looking thin on the sides, whereas other people have the same density all across the hairline.

I'm just wondering why some people have those light hairs on the corners, almost triangles either sides, that seem thin, but seem to stay there for years and years.

I asked this question b4 but got no responses. I have a widows peak, I've always had it but its receded about 3/4 of an inch in the corners and about half an inch in the centre, I'm 24 now. I always remember that at the corners of my hairline my hair were fairer like a dirty blonde, and the centre was thicker and darker, this is the same now, no male pattern baldness at the centre at all but the corners its hard to tell because even though they have receeded its hard to tell weather the corners will recede further, so i think I could be in the same situation as you. BTW my hair is brown.

Nearly everyone has thinner hair at their hairline when they are kids. I definitely did. My hairline was actually kind of lopsided as a kid because of all the extra minor hair I had on my hairline. By the time I got 15 it turned into a normal hairline, but little did I realize it would start thinning slightly and slowly around age 20 and I've been fighting it for just over a year now (almost 23).

Oddly enough, I remember when my hairline first changed. This idiot woman cutting my hair thought she needed to shave the extra hair on my hairline to straighten it out. Well, it grew back, but it was much finer hair! It really surprised me. Eventually that hair disappeared.

I see a few photos now and then from when I was 16-18 and really want to get that density back. I still have most of my hair but not enough!

Oh, to add to the main discussion, though, yes DiCaprio had those thinner hairs but as he got older you can see the thin ones disappeared and he has a slightly "mature" hairline. This is why I think there is credence to the "mature" hairline argument. Usually the center of the hairline stays intact while the corners regress slightly, but then it never really recedes anymore. Another example is Christian Bale. Go look at pictures and movies of him when he was in his teens and early twenties. He had that extra hair around his hairline, but it's gone now. He has a strange hairline, but it's stayed stable all through his life.

Even looking back at pictures of me when I was 10 I see that my temples were thinner.

Why is that?
