What is the Back of Your Hair Called?

Published in Hair Terminology 1 min read

A significant area toward the back of your head, where hair grows, is commonly referred to as the Crown.

Understanding the Crown

Based on the reference provided, the Crown is defined as:

The highest point on your scalp, toward the back of your head.

This area is a key part of the back of the head and is often discussed in hairstyling and anatomy.

While "the back of your hair" isn't one single term covering the entire area from the nape to the crown, the Crown is a prominent and highest point located specifically toward the back. Other areas on the back of the head include the nape (the lower part of the back of the neck where the hairline ends) and the occipital bone area. However, the reference highlights the Crown.
