hair line

Where scalp begins

A hairline is the edge where hair begins growing on the forehead.

A receding hairline moves backward with age or baldness.

As an adjective, hairline describes something extremely thin or fine: a hairline crack, a hairline fracture.

Such flaws are barely visible but can still be significant.
