How it's used
Refers specifically to the temple area or the upper side of the forehead, often where the hairline begins to recede. It is frequently used when describing physical features, injuries, or the placement of accessories like hair clips or headbands. Unlike general terms for the forehead, this highlights a precise, localized spot.
