What is the Upper Forehead in face reading?
The upper forehead is the area from just below the hairline to the middle of the brow, and in face reading it is linked with ideas, ideals and long-range outlook. Some schools divide the forehead into upper, middle and lower parts, tying the upper part to abstract thinking and imagination. In Mian Xiang the forehead is the heaven zone, the first of the three stops, and carries ages 15 to 30 on the age map; the upper forehead covers the early years of that period. The reader looks at the shape of the hairline and the width, height and brightness of the area. A broad, full and clear upper forehead is read as open-mindedness. A common misconception is that a receding hairline changes the reading; the tradition looks at bone structure and the liveliness of the skin.
