I have these forehead creases/wrinkles that give me a ton of dysphoria. I feel like they make me look super masc whenever I make any kind of expression.

I wanted to get bangs and just hide them, but I have a kinda strong widows peak and bangs won’t work according to a hair stylist I talked to. I’ve heard about making a habit of various creams, but the explanations are kind of vague. They just say collagen cream or peptides and I don’t trust search results when I look for stuff like that.

So does anyone with a widows peak have any ideas about managing bangs or does anyone with similar wrinkles have any recommendations for clearing them up?

    Thanks for the tip, but my widows peak is unfortunately natural. I luckily didn’t suffer any hair loss before hrt.

      like you had a widows peak even before puberty? my understanding is its something pretty much everyone gets going through male puberty, at least to some degree, whether they experience pattern baldness or not. trans masc people get one too when they start hrt. who knows you might get lucky and lose yours lol.

        I have amnesia from a bad head injury as a teen. So I don’t actually know, but I’ve had it as long as I can remember. I’d love to lose it if it meant I could do bangs easily and hide my forehead. I’ve been toying with the idea of shaving it, but I’ve heard that can be a nightmare of its own.
