After a lapse of some years, a new study centering on Widow’s Peak Measurements has entered the scientific literature:
“Study of Frontal Hairline Patterns in Spanish Caucasian Women,” C. Ceballos, C. Priego, C. Méndez, M.V. Hoffner, M.J. García-Hernández, F.M. Camacho, Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas (English Edition), epub April 2, 2013. The authors, at Departamento de Dermatología, Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena, Sevilla, Spain, report:
“The mean age of the women was 29.7 years. A widow’s peak was observed in 94.17% of the group. The mean dimensions of the widow’s peak were a height of 1.01 cm and width of 2.13 cm.”
