forehead shape

Cranial front profile

Forehead shape refers to the contour and proportions of the forehead—whether it's high or low, broad or narrow, flat or rounded, sloping or vertical.

The term appears in contexts ranging from anthropology and forensics to beauty standards and physiognomy: She inherited her father's forehead shape.

Hairstyles are often chosen to complement or disguise forehead shape.
