So I am somewhere between a NW2 and 3 (though I think most people here would consider me a NW3, though I am not as recessed as a true NW3) but I also have diffusion going on. It's not like you can see right down to the scalp, but the hair at the forelock feels quite a bit thinner than the hair at the sides and crown, almost as if the hair strands themselves are also physically thinner. From the front though the hair looks like it has mostly normal volume like the rest of my hair (still have obvious recession tho).
But then in profile view, mostly in photos as well, the hair at the forelock often just looks flat and thin, like there's no volume at all, which pisses me tf off since it contrasts with the thick voluminous sides. But this effect isn't as apparent when viewed from the front, as I mentioned above.
I've seen this effect on other people with thinning hair as well. Even in people whom are thinning really badly as well, their hair still looks more voluminous from the front than from the side.
Why is that? What is the "science" behind all this?
