Abstract

|
|
Objectives: To compare bone proportional cun and finger-breadth cun in the head area to clearly distinguish the anterior hairline.
Methods: In this study, the head area was measured for 50 adult males and females in their 20s with normal hair condition. We compared bone proportional cun and finger-breadth cun in the head area and calculated the error by analyzing the difference between the actual location of the anterior hairline and the location measured with the two methods.
Results: There was a significant difference between bone proportional cun and finger-breadth cun in the head area. The two methods showed significant difference from the actual location of the anterior hairline. In addition, as a result of calculating the error between the actual location of the anterior hairline and the location measured by the two methods, the finger-breadth cun had fewer errors than the bone proportional cun.
Conclusions: The finger-breadth cun is better than the bone proportional cun as an alternative when it is difficult to find the anterior hairline.
