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?

I have some significant wrinkles on my forehead when I raise my eyebrows and a pretty intense widows peak, but both are basically invisible because I have bangs. The only reason I have them is because I haven't cut my hair significantly in the last year, but they're still bangs! I also have rather curly hair, so that helps with breaking up any lines you might see through them, but I basically leave my forehead untouched when I do my makeup they cover so well. I don't know what that stylist was talking about with bangs not working with a widows peak, because everyone I know has advised me to keep the bangs, hairsylists included, so maybe try a different stylist. You can see what my hair looks like in my post history.

Edit: Wow I just looked back at that picture and my bangs are nowhere to be seen in that photo! Fortunately, neither is my widows peak

Yeah I used to have super curly bangs, but my hair just doesn’t curl like that anymore. I did spend a few years training my hair to part to the side though. At this point my hair is too long too just start brushing my bangs now. I am thinking I need to talk to another stylist too.
