Male pattern baldness, get it! Other than that nothing else will do it, but why would a low hairline discourage you from growing your hair out, your bangs will look longer faster. I've someone with a very small forehead sport longhair before and it looked great, TRY IT!!!

i am already growing it longer... and it looks a bit weird with a low hairline because it makes the hair look poofy when it really isnt. i suppose i dont have to but... i just want to know if i were to get rid of that hair on my forehead, how am i to do it? (im sure there is a way...)

During the late Medieval and early Rennaissance periods. It was considered quite fashionable (for women at least) to have a very high forehead. Starting when a child was very young, the hair was kept pulled back very tightly. This constant, intense pulling caused the skin of the forehead to stretch and the hairline would migrate up and back, away from the face. If by age 10 or so, this practice alone had not sufficently raised the hairline, then hairs would be plucked out to get the desired high forehead. It all sounds rather painful to me.
These days we have better methods, like laser hair removal for instance. But, I would caution you, someday if the dreaded male pattern baldness strikes you. You may very well wish you still had your low hairline!

lol ok. hmm... is there an easier way than laser hair removal? what about the electric thing you can do yourself at home? does that affect the hair around it? does it even prevent hair from growing back?
believe me... my hairline is... low. it needs help :)
and its in my family that we barely lose any hair at all when we get older.

I wish I had that problem rather than a high hairline.
