How it's used

Refers specifically to the hairline at the nape of the neck rather than the hairline on the forehead. It is most frequently used in the context of getting a haircut, where a barber or stylist needs to clean up the stray hairs in that area to make the cut look neat. People often use the verb 修 to describe the action of tidying up this specific section.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 髮線, which typically refers to the hairline on the forehead. Using 髮腳 to describe the forehead hairline will sound unnatural to native speakers.
